On November 20, 1955, Bo Diddley appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. The show had requested that Diddley sing the Merle Travis-penned Tennessee Ernie Ford hit “Sixteen Tons” but when he appeared on stage, he sang “Bo Diddley” instead. This substitution resulted in his being banned from further appearances. “I did two songs and Ed Sullivan got mad,” Diddley later recalled. “He said that I was one of the first colored boys to ever double-cross him. Said that I wouldn’t last six months.”

The first major country star to come out of the Bakersfield scene that later produced Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, Mr. Husky was also known for his generosity with up-and-coming performers, including Dallas Frazier and Mr. Owens. “Buck Owens? I dressed him up, putting some decent clothes on him, and got him with Capitol,” Mr. Husky said in a 2004 interview published in the British magazine Country Music People.
