Great pipes.

I feel guilty for not knowing who she is.

But jazz usually isn't on my play list.

Koko Taylor was a legend singing the Blues not Jazz. She was a Chess Records alumni along with a slew of other. Great movie all about Chicago's Chess Records out now on video. I have her "I GOT WHAT IT TAKES" album, her first after Chess closed down.

A thoughtful insight and ideas I will use on my blog. You've obviously spent some time on this. Well done!
