ZZ Top is an American blues rock band formed in 1970 in Houston, Texas. The band members are Billy Gibbons (vocals and guitar), Dusty Hill (bass guitar and vocals), and Frank Beard (drums). They hold the distinction of being one of the few rock bands still comprising its original members after more than 35 years, along with the same manager/producer, Bill Ham. They reached the peak of their commercial success in the 1970s and 1980s, scoring many hit songs during that era; but they remain together today and are still touring and releasing albums. ZZ Top was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15, 2004.

El Diablo Lyrics
ZZ Top
Did you ever hear the story
That happened not long ago
bout the man with a tan
El diablo de mexico
And this man played his hand
And he lived by the luck of the draw
Now and then and again
Found him steppin outside the law
Hey! hey!
And his fortune he had made
Let him live high on the hog
Til the day of the raid
When they hunted him like a dog
He was out on the run
Knowing he could get by
Cause the men killed in sin
Were not there to testify
Hey! hey!
He was caught, he was bound
In la casa de calaboose
He was tried, he was found
And readied for the noose
But the break he would make
It didnt turn out so well
And the hombre called diablo
Bid his last farewell
