Sonny Bono b. Feb. 16, 1935

“Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain,
La de da de de, la de da de da.”

Backstory - This is a recent re-creation of my entry for Jane Scott’s “Sonny Cher Cartoon Contest” sponsored by the Cleveland Plain Dealer & WKYC 1100 AM. I was a runner up & received their newest LP “In Case You’re in Love” (still have it).  First prize was concert tix to see them. The winning entries were on display in the window of Disc Records Downtown on Euclid Ave, that was big time! PLUS I heard Big Jack Armstrong announce the winners names over the air AND they printed our names on that weeks Sound 11 Survey. Never saw my drawing after that so this is a close (& hopefully improved) depiction, if my memory serves me well.

Bo Diddley a.k.a. Ellas McDaniel nee Ellas Otha Bates b. Dec 30, 1928

500%, more man,

A living dream,

Bo Diddley, baby,

More man than you ever seen.

Strong and handsome

And a teasing tan,

Bo Diddley, baby,

A natural born man.
