RIP Koko

Jazz aficionados (of which I am one) are in mourning over the loss of one of the great female voices of the genre - Koko Taylor.

Koko Taylor, a Chicago musical icon who became one of the most revered female blues vocalists of her time with signature hits such as "Wang Dang Doodle," "I'm a Woman" and "Hey Bartender," died Wednesday at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago of complications from gastrointestinal surgery. She was 80.


Growing up in Chicago, Koko was a legend.



RIP Koko - you will be missed.

  • I don't listen to Jazz very much, but your video, sure show her talent. She sure has a great voice, and she can belt them out. Thanks for sharing.
