She was 80 years old and her last performance happened 4 weeks before at the Blues Music Awards, where she got her 29th commendation - a record among peers. Koko sung “Wang Dang Doodle”, her signature song written and composed by Willie Dixon.
On April 6th 2007, at BB King´s Blues club in NY, she left her perfume onstage
My respect and eternal admiration… and when you feel blue, have yourself a nice and warm cup of Koko Taylor. See if it works.
