Posted: Jun 03, 2009Koko Taylor 1935-2009
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, on September 28, 1935, the great Koko Taylor died today in Chicago at 80. Orphaned at 11, she began to sing in the church. In 1953, she moved to Chicago where she and her husband began to sing and play the blues in nightclubs after working day jobs. Taylor performed with and knew Chess Records' Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Willie Dixon. Taylor covered Dixon's "Wang Dang Doodle" and it sold over a million copies. From there, her career soared and she won a list of awards such as Grammys and W.C. Handys. She recorded her last album, Old School, in 2007. Complications from a May 19 surgery led to her sad passing. The flag flies at half mast...
