I was very sad to learn that Koko Taylor, Chicago Blues Queen, died last week at age 80. She was a true blues legend, capable of getting as down and dirty as any of the men, and as full of soul as any singer has ever been.
Here she is with the great Little Walter in 1967

Thanks for sharing.
yup, she could sure sing....
I read about this in the local paper... Too bad... Another loss to the music world (and the world in general...)
R.I.P
Sad news.
I'm sorry to hear she's passed on. Thank you for sharing the video, though.
