Support 88Nine And This Artist:
Koko Taylor (September 28, 1928 - June 3, 2009) was an American
blues musician, popularly known as the "Queen of the Blues." She was known primarily for her rough and powerful vocals and traditional blues stylings. Taylor was born as Cora Walton on a farm just outside Memphis, Tennessee. In 1954, Taylor left Memphis for Chicago with her husband, truck driver Robert "Pops" Taylor. In the late 1950s she began singing in Chicago blues clubs and was spotted by
Willie Dixon in 1962, leading to wider performances and her first recording contract.
