Ethel Smith is an unsung hero of Rock and Roll IMHO. She was married to Bo Diddley from '49 - '56 when he sort of invented it. With her latin background ya' gotta monder about how he came up with his special rhythm.

Good Morning Michael! I needed this song message this morning! I also love the cut.
