Grammy Award-winning blues legend Koko Taylor, 80, died on June 3, 2009 in her hometown of Chicago, IL, as a result of complications following her May 19 surgery to correct a gastrointestinal bleed

Willie Dixon wrote "Wang Dang Doodle", Koko's million selling hit that became her signature song. Mick named Charlie "Wang Dang Doodle" Watts

What a great header, Voo - sorry I missed it.
And the 'gem' Irina posted - truly an amazing find!

Koko's funeral is tomorrow. There have been many tributes to her in Chitown this past week, but none will be more appropriate than what is planned for the annual Blues Festival that begins Friday and runs through the weekend....neither of which will be missed by your resident parmeda, I might add.

From Koko's website: http://www.kokotaylor.com/news.html

She will be missed.
