November 20, 1955 – After agreeing to perform Tennessee Ernie Ford’s hit “Sixteen Tons” on CBS-TV’s “The Ed Sullivan Show,” Bo Diddley instead plays the song he was there to promote, his own hit “Bo Diddley.” A furious Sullivan blackballs Bo from ever appearing on the show again. The singer has claimed he was never paid for the performance. #ROCkabillyHop @bodiddley #BoDiddley #SixteenTons #EdSullivan #RocHop #OTD #RockNRoll
