The Originator

The Originator - 1966, Bo Diddley was a long way from chart success in America, and The Originator was to be his last official album for four years (in the interim he would appear on the two Chess "Super Blues" all-star jam albums). Strangely enough, this is also one of his best albums, mostly comprised of rare, early-'60s singles ("Pills") and B-sides, and filled out with some fun new recordings ("Yakky Doodle"). -All Music
