The Music Master died today due to Heart Failure...

Seems like some of these all time favorites are dropping like flies...

Bo Diddley was a great guitarist/entertainer that received semi-widespread recognition but was overshadowed by Chuck Berry (no offense meant) and the English wave of the 60's. I will miss him.

True point Jim... It wasn't really given the credit due to him...

In the last 2 weeks alone we've lost 4 celebs that made a decent impact on their respected genre... In the last few months of 2008 alone we've lost several altogether...

Crazy stuff happening this year... A bunch of deaths, a bunch of Disasters, just crazy...

Who is Bo Diddley? The name just sounds dodgy to me.

You can add Harvey Korman to that list as well. He was a superb comedian/actor and is most known for The Carol Burnett Show. He also had an interesting roll in Blazing Saddles.

Another blues great who will be remembered along with the likes of Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker and John Coltrane.
