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.'
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.
Love this video. Thanks for posting. Koko's expression at the end is just so sweet. What a beautiful soul. She seems just a little proud for getting to perform on TV like this. And she should be. I wish there was more of her captured.
Totally fantastic. Koko and Little Walter. Blues heaven. Blues icons. Great to see Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee sittin' by. Thanks so much. Play the blues forever.
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.
this is the real deal! the lyrics, the band, and ms. koko's out of this world vocals...WHEW! close your eyes while listening to this and you'll feel transported to the juke joint!
My brother Carson was a blues guy who loved Koko Taylors singing, he said she was the best blues singer, he told me a story that at one concert he somehow was able to sneak back stage and he got to meet her in person,
I love it!!! Get it Koko Taylor!!!! Everybody gone jam!!!! My mother and grandmother loved this song by her and in later years my brother Bryant T would accompany her as her drummer.
Saw Koko Taylor play on July 4th, 2007 at the Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland, Oregon. She was fabulous. The crowd went wild when she sang this song.
I just had a kind of cultural shock - this is amazing - When I saw this tall slim man with his uber-cool guitar... jeysuzz can't get any cooler.... thats a man - a proto guitar god..
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
Literally one my favorite videos of all time. All the hair spray, platform boots, and men in women's blouses could NEVER rock this hard do you hear me. She not even singing at 100, she dont even have to. Miss Koko is a pillar!
I saw Koko Taylor live at Colorado College back in 1980s At the beginning of the show they couldn't get the microphone to work.... Koko started shouting "We got the devil in the microphone, we got the devil in the microphone". She put on one hell of a show!!!
And that my friends is music. Not the crap the "experts" shove down our throats. I'm 84 y/o guy who was exposed to jazz and blues by a cousin that owned a club called The Blue Note in Chicago when I was 15 or 16. good Times.
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.
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...
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.
@@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."
I needed to find a version of this song by Koko in a live setting, so it was a choice between this and a star studded black tie event at an inaugural gala lmfao Yeah, I think I'll have to go with THIS! holy fkn shit she and Walter are so GREAT
as a little girl I always will hear my mother sing we going to pitch a Wang Dang Doodle but I never knew what a Wang Dang Doodle met I'm so glad I finally found this song LOL great song
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!
That's Hound Dog Taylor behind her on guitar, Brownie McGee and Sonny Terry waiting to go on, these folks are having a good time, black music was widely popular in Europe before it was in the US. Each of these cats are playing simple musical figures that fit like a hand in a glove, drummer is killer and his harmonizing is so cool.
De good old days! Sneak outta the 🏠 go peep through the window at the juke joint! Couldn’t wait til I was old enough to go dancing. Unfortunately by the time I grew up; the juke joint was long gone! Oh the memories
My Dad Dillard Crume Is On The Bass Playing For Koko Taylor
Woow really !?
Yessss That's my dad Dillard Crume on the far Right...I'm his Baby girl....he passed away 6 years ago..He was a gospel singer for The Soul Stirrers
+Melanie Crume And just listen at that bass :)
Bless you! What a talent!
Melanie Crume your dad grooves!
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.
Hound Dog Taylor on guitar
@@markjarrett9794 Hound Dog Taylor sucks rocks. Perhaps the worst so called "blues guitarist," who couldn't play his way out of a paper bag.
@@richardseegman803 you sound like your daddy
@@markjarrett9794 You sound like your unborn child, who loves the blues.
The Queen of the Blues!!! RIP Koko Taylor and Little Walter.
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.
When life was good 👍🏿👍🏿
Willie Dixon was the source of so many epic tunes, no?
@@Onionbaron Definitely. I think the Stones first big hit was a Dixon cover.
This use to play all the time on the jukebox at the corner candy store, when we're kids. Irresponsible memories.
My parents had little Walter 's album.

WOW, Koko and Little Walter at the same time. Outstanding ❤️
Don't leave out HOUND DOG TAYLOR
My dad used to play this on a 45.
Damn I love my culture and my people. African American until I die and then again in the afterlife.
So do I ❤️🌞
Amen proud to be African American.
I’m not African American but I love this. The history of blues, jazz, soul, rock, and more in the hands of yall. I wish more appreciated these gems🙌
OMG, I love this song!! She said "When the fish scent fills the air, there'll be snuff juice everywhere!!" Oh Hell Yeah!!!! giggle
CaramelCoated41 that happens ever time
Yep, that got me too!!!!
Sho nuff!!! Oh yeah!!!
The line that ruined the song..
As a kid I sang about plenty of things that was adult themed. Great line!!!
koko taylor, etta james, big mama, sugarpie desanto, Sister rosetha was all the best of the woman in R&B
Love this video. Thanks for posting. Koko's expression at the end is just so sweet. What a beautiful soul. She seems just a little proud for getting to perform on TV like this. And she should be. I wish there was more of her captured.
There is a lot, it's from one of their many European tours from the 60s, a lot with Sonny Boy Williamson, it's all over YT.
Big Momma House brought me over here 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥this is still a great song💯💯💯
Yes! Finally someone else!!!
Wow, Her voice, and she's so pretty!
She is sexy.
Wow. When she shouts, the hair stands up on my arms. The sudden intensity she puts on top of that groove is stunning.
Its not just me
frission
often copied rarely duplicated
Theodore Roosevelt "Hound Dog" Taylor on Guitar ... he was magical.
Such a fantastic groove. I have to listen to this at least once a week, just to stay sane! Her voice is insanely good.
And me😂
I LIKE THAT.
I have no idea why this song just popped in my head at 7am, I haven't heard this song in 40 years lol
it's all good
enjoy
Totally fantastic. Koko and Little Walter. Blues heaven. Blues icons. Great to see Sonny Terry & Brownie McGee sittin' by. Thanks so much. Play the blues forever.
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.
This is my favorite version of Wang Dang Doodle. Anytime I want a little pick me up I just put this on and immediately feel uplifted.
Top notch, yes yes yes, etc
KoKo Taylor was best Blues Lady ever. She gave such heart to her performance. The best!
RIP
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 just imagining THAT !
Love how sonny terry and brownie Mcgee chilliing listening to miss koko taylor.
This took me so long to find! If you google all night long you just get 80s crap. Great to know its called Wang Dang Doodle. 🎉
WE ARE JUST AMAZING! KOKO TAYLOR, LIL WALTER, WILLIE DIXION, and HOUND DOG TAYLOR.
Always loved this song 😍... my daddy did too 💗... he would get drunk... come home and want to dance...
My brother Carson was a blues guy who loved Koko Taylors singing, he said she was the best blues singer, he told me a story that at one concert he somehow was able to sneak back stage and he got to meet her in person,
I love it!!! Get it Koko Taylor!!!! Everybody gone jam!!!! My mother and grandmother loved this song by her and in later years my brother Bryant T would accompany her as her drummer.
I saw her at the Blue note music hall in Columbia MO.
Saw Koko Taylor play on July 4th, 2007 at the Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland, Oregon. She was fabulous. The crowd went wild when she sang this song.
The year i was born. What a wonderful time to be alive.
How have I lived for 52 years and only hearing this song for the first time?
Best version👌🏻🥃
2024...I'm gonna start incorporating the phrase wang dang doodle into my everyday vocabulary.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 exactly!!!
Me too!!!! 😂
excelsior
Good for you..I think I'll stick with Wang Dang...you gotta express yo'self?!
I just had a kind of cultural shock - this is amazing - When I saw this tall slim man with his uber-cool guitar... jeysuzz can't get any cooler.... thats a man - a proto guitar god..
Hound Dog Taylor!
That tall slim man is the one and only HOUND DOG TAYLOR. And the smooth cat blowin harp is none other then LITTLE WALTER.
It’s Hound Dog Taylor ! Best slide player … ever !
My mommy loved this song and we kids use get up dancing with her singing
She knocks em dead!
Love and miss you forever. Willie Dixon & Koko Taylor & Little Walter & Hound Dog Taylor 💙
Whoo! That bass line is CLEAN!!
I was able to see her a few times the club maybe held 200 people most of it standing I love the blues thank you Koko
The Queen of Blues with a immortal line up to supplement that beautiful ,wonderful and powerful voice. They shall never leave us.
I had the pleasure of seeing Coco perform at the Hollywood bowl at a blues festival in the late 90s. Awesome
Thus is back when people were cool ..great stuff
The blues is the soul of black folks. So much soul in this song.
God, she's got THE VOICE!
She got that wang dang doodle.
The legendary Dillard Crume on the bass, former lead vocalist for The Soul Stirrers of Chicago!
Legendary {1966} 😮💨🔥
Another amazing Willie Dixon song! Love the band.
wille dixon wrote dozens and dozens of hit songs in the blues genre. he also discovered koko.....and taught her to sing the blues.
the blues bible written by WILLIE DIXON!
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.

An all-time favorite. She kills it.
She is incredible!!! Wow!

Literally one my favorite videos of all time. All the hair spray, platform boots, and men in women's blouses could NEVER rock this hard do you hear me. She not even singing at 100, she dont even have to. Miss Koko is a pillar!
I saw her and her band live at the Long Beach Blues Festival back in the 80s. She was amazing.
That woman can sing.
I SEEN KOKO WITH BUDDY GUY AND JIMMY VAUGHAN, GREAT SHOW
Koko is a great singer. Loved the sound.
THE POINTER SISTERS PAID TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY KOKO TAYLOR, WHEN THEY DID A COVER RENDITION OF THIS INFAMOUS SONG!🎉🎉😊😊
I saw Koko Taylor live at Colorado College back in 1980s
At the beginning of the show they couldn't get the microphone to work.... Koko started shouting "We got the devil in the microphone, we got the devil in the microphone".
She put on one hell of a show!!!
Oh my what a song this is.
Terrific singer. The blues at its best.
And that my friends is music. Not the crap the "experts" shove down our throats. I'm 84 y/o guy who was exposed to jazz and blues by a cousin that owned a club called The Blue Note in Chicago when I was 15 or 16. good Times.
I remember this song back in 1968! I liked it then I like it now! 🤗🤗🤗
Always like the guitar players they get deep into their music. I'm a fan of all from way back 1949 til now. U just listen n get into ur own grove.
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.
Fantastic !!! A truly amazing performance , thank you for sharing with the world .
And Little Walter died a year later in 1968. You talking about some serious ass talent here.
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...

She was my neighbor when I was in high school from 93 to 97 and she still traveled a lot
This sounds like one heck of a party!
Daddy Richmond they playing your song daddy.
Missing my granddaddy 1981
De good old days! Sneak outta the 🏠 go peep through the window at the juke joint! Couldn’t wait til I was old enough to go dancing. Unfortunately by the time I grew up; the juke joint was long gone! Oh the memories
