For our blues enthusiasts on Tips
Subject: Remembering Koko Taylor
She was a sharecropper's daughter
who became the queen of blues.
Taylor's career as a musician stretched
more than five decades. While not gaining
the kind of mainstream success other artists
did, she was beloved by blues fans.
Her hits included "Wang Dang Doodle" and tunes
such as "What Kind of Man is This" and
"I Got What It Takes."
Fellow legend Buddy Guy said of her passing:
"What a loss to the blues world." The head of
The Blues Foundation said even at her age,
Taylor was still the best female blues singer
in the world, just as she was when she started
back in the 1950s.
Today was her birthday.
Here is "I'm a Woman," her signature song.
