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.
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.
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.'
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 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.
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 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 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..
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!
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!!!
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."
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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
These fine musicians were rapidly losing their audience in America and going broke. It was the development of a blues audience in Europe and the entrepreneurship of Willie Dixon that gave them a new career in Europe (including the UK), followed by a new audience in the USA. There's a great biography of Howlin' Wolf somewhere here, in which there are comments from his two daughters, and one of the most moving moments is when one of them, remembering the European tours, says 'they were treated like big stars over there' which they certainly were. It was there that Sonny Boy Williamson II bought his Saville Row suit, his bowler hat, and his tightly-furled umbrella.
Don't know why I did a search for this song. It just popped into my head. I saw Bo Diddley do this in 1870 at San Diego Sports Arena, then I saw Willie Dixon play it at a small club in Nanuet NY in 1975 or 6. I like this version, too.
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.
Happy Birthday to Koko Taylor the Queen 👑 of Blues 💙 Go HUG someone today IF they're been vaccinated or not 🚫 Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.'
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.
KoKo Taylor was best Blues Lady ever. She gave such heart to her performance. The best!
RIP
Theodore Roosevelt "Hound Dog" Taylor on Guitar ... he was magical.
WOW, Koko and Little Walter at the same time. Outstanding ❤️
Don't leave out HOUND DOG TAYLOR
Love how sonny terry and brownie Mcgee chilliing listening to miss koko taylor.
Big Momma House brought me over here 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥this is still a great song💯💯💯
Yes! Finally someone else!!!
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,

Wow, Her voice, and she's so pretty!
She is sexy.
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.
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.
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
My man on the bass know he killin it! Look at the way he rock and his facial expressions! I bet them fingers were gliding cross them strings. Lol
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!!!
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.
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 !
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!
I was just imagining THAT !
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!!!
WE ARE JUST AMAZING! KOKO TAYLOR, LIL WALTER, WILLIE DIXION, and HOUND DOG TAYLOR.
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...
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.

God, she's got THE VOICE!
She got that wang dang doodle.
The Queen of Blues with a immortal line up to supplement that beautiful ,wonderful and powerful voice. They shall never leave us.
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. 🎉
My mommy loved this song and we kids use get up dancing with her singing
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

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.

The blues is the soul of black folks. So much soul in this song.
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!
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!
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.
Thus is back when people were cool ..great stuff
Whoo! That bass line is CLEAN!!
My mother is Fast Talking Fannie....Rest in heaven cousin Koko Taylor

The gatekeeper for blues doesn’t have many keepers!
Daddy Richmond they playing your song daddy.
Missing my granddaddy 1981
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

What more can be said !
All night long in Big Mama's House!
Don't know why I did a search for this song. It just popped into my head. I saw Bo Diddley do this in 1870 at San Diego Sports Arena, then I saw Willie Dixon play it at a small club in Nanuet NY in 1975 or 6.
I like this version, too.
Uh, that's 1970.
I first heard this in 1967, still great!
This sounds like one heck of a party!
everyone is a star on that stage
Recorded live at the Kongress-Halle, Berlin, Germany, October 15, 1967
Saw her open for BB King in the early 90s. What a double bill! 🤯
I've seen the great Koko Taylor in concert MORE THAN ONCE. I have her sig on an album.
She was my neighbor when I was in high school from 93 to 97 and she still traveled a lot
Wow! Realy! That must’ve been a great gig for him! I realy like his tone! Realy smooth!
I SEEN KOKO WITH BUDDY GUY AND JIMMY VAUGHAN, GREAT SHOW
Oh my what a song this is.
Sounds like a sunday morning at church no one would believe this is what most of the lead vocalist would look like and sound like.
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.
