The story behind

Bo Diddley recorded "Bring It to Jerome" on July 14, 1955, the same day as "Pretty Thing". He did it at the Universal Recording Corp. studio in Chicago, with the Chess brothers and himself as producers. The song was released as the B-side of a single, along with "Pretty Thing", which was Diddley's third release with Checker Records. The song has a fast rhythm, with hard guitar and a base of shakers and percussion. The voice and guitar are the heart of the piece, with a touch of blues that becomes rock and roll. The song was recorded with a group of musicians: Jerome Green on shakers, Lester Davenport with the harmonica and Clifton James on drums. It was a hit on R&B charts in the United States, reaching number 4 in 1956. The song was also performed by other artists such as The Pretty Things, The Animals and Canned Heat. ↓ Skip to chords

Bo Diddley released "Pretty Thing" in 1955, a rock and roll that suited him well. It was his third single with Checker Records, after "Diddley Daddy". In 1963, the song was re-released in the United Kingdom, where it managed to enter the UK Singles Chart, something rare for him. Only two tracks from his career reached there, the other being "Hey Good Lookin'".
