Wang Dang Doodle - Koko Taylor w Little Walter 1967

[@richardseegman803]

Amazing. And with Little Walter on blues harp to boot. We lost Koko in 2009, but she was still singing this when she was older. RIP Koko.

The legendary Dillard Crume on the bass, former lead vocalist for The Soul Stirrers of Chicago!

[@TooLooze]

I saw Koko, Willie Dixon and lesser known bands in 1973 or so at an outdoor blues festival. I was young and the memory still makes me move.

[@a.t.oliver1886]

When life was good 👍🏿👍🏿

[@Onionbaron]

Willie Dixon was the source of so many epic tunes, no?

[@TooLooze]

@@Onionbaron Definitely. I think the Stones first big hit was a Dixon cover.

WOW, Koko and Little Walter at the same time. Outstanding ❤️

[@edboswell2809]

Don't leave out HOUND DOG TAYLOR

[@jamesvicary4247]

Legend Hounddog Taylor on the guitar. Toured Australia back in 1975. I remember seeing them on GTK: Mindblowing electric boogie! I read that he wanted to be remembered like this: 'He couldn’t play shit, but he sure made it sound good.'

[@lynettepeterson956]

My dad used to play this on a 45.

[@spinedoc18]

It's a sultry hot summer night, I'm cruising in my convertible with the top down along the Atlantic shore on a dark beach road with the stars overhead and my girlfriend next to me. Koko Taylor is belting this out over the stereo. Can it possibly be better? Ah, the old days.

Who was the guitarist and drummer backing up Koko? Edit: From what I'm seeing the guitarist is Johnny Shines and the drummer is Clifton James.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I was lucky enough to see her do this at a very small local venue here in Lawrence Kansas called The Jazzhaus, possibly in conjunctions with Sun Seals from South side of Chicago, another incredible blues act. sometime around 1982 when I was quite young. I was literally six feet away. What power, what strength, what charisma and she always radiated that, no putting up with any bullshit attitude, it's wonderful and something to behold from that close up and I loved it and we danced our asses off.

[@cjbird7121]

How have I lived for 52 years and only hearing this song for the first time?

In Tony Glover’s 2002 book about Little Walter, “Blues with a Feeling”, Tony writes there are no known videos of Little Walter (1930-1968). Years later, the Internet arrives. Now there are several videos of Little Walter.

Oh man you know that puts the gas in my tank baby there is nothing like a little Koko Taylor and Little Walter and the rest of the band to get me going. I really feel sorry for some young people when I talk to them and I mention artist like these and they tell me “oh that was before my time” so sad that those people have never experienced such a wonderful music.I try to always introduce people to the blues I love the blues and it has dominated who I am for over 30 years

If you’re ever in Memphis, TN enjoying yourself on Beale Street, as you drop your tip at the house blues band’s bucket….they ask you what you want to hear: “ANYTHING Willie Dixon wrote” is practically EVERYTHING (except Robert Johnson [died in 1938] wrote most before the 1950s) The gatekeeper for blues doesn’t have many keepers!

Electronically distorted sound: his invention... On harmoninca at that... Left Muddy’s band in ‘52, but still playing on most of the famous classics recorded later...

[@bassmangotdbluz3547]

Little Walter was the greatest but he drank hard, lived hard and died young. Imagine what he might have recorded had he lived at least as long as Muddy Waters.

[@bassmangotdbluz3547]

@@MrAstonP I agree that he is probably the first one to apply it to a Harmonica. Les Paul was of course overdriving his PreAmp Circuit to achieve Sonic Distortion 2 decades before. I love Jacobs tone on "Juke". Every Blues guitarist knows, "Muddy Waters invented 'lectricity."
