Koko Taylor R.I.P.


Blues legend Koko Taylor passed away today at the age of 80. She was known as the "Queen Of Blues" and played with blues legends like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf as well as rock stars like Led Zeplin's Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Koko Tayor came to my attention three years age when digging thru a pile of CD's I found her greatest hits on the Chicago label Chess. Ms. Taylor, like many blues musicians before, entertained her fans for as long as possible performing live as recently as last May.
