Oooh I know my number one fave song and I’ll have a think about 2 to 5 from the list. Same with the Carols too.

In the late 60's @RafaC  we had booked to see him along with Little Richard, Chuck Berry and other soul groups (including Bo Diddley.) Unfortunately Little Richard was ill, so they cancelled the UK tour! 😭

@Cleoriff 😱
I can't imagine how disappointed you guys were at the time!
At least Little Richard got better after all

I looove Bo Diddley, I wish I had the chance to see him playing live. I was lucky enough to see Chuck Berry live once and also Fred Wesley and the (New) JB's (as you probably know they were James Brown's backing band for a few years). 

But oh my, that line-up you've mentioned is a dream line-up. Can't get much better than that.
