Koko Taylor (1928-2009)
Posted by Hal Bogerd at June 3, 2009 8:04 PMTHE Queen of the blues, Koko Taylor, died today at the age of 80 in Chicago. IL. Koko, a true blues legend, was the only woman who could hold her own with Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Willie Dixon and Howlin' Wolf at Chess Records. If you never had the good fortune to see her live, do yourself a favor and watch a young Koko pitch a "Wang Dang Doodle" . Thanks for the music!
Rest in Peace.
