I absolutely love Bo's Ballard's and love songs. More so than his other stuff. The front man to Status Quo once said Bo Diddley only have one style. That was also a criticism leveled at Status Quo. In both cases either is true.
Bo Diddley was the best because he was so real. This song is pure emotion from a man who felt a sense of injustice at the time and for the rest of his life because everyone stole his act, sound, and money. Looking back it's clear that Bo Diddley wouldn't have know how this semi-jam love song would touch so many people in the way it has. Just amazing.
