- Koko Taylor performs "Wang Dang Doodle" live at the Washington Convention Center for the Presidential Inaugural Concert in 1989. You can buy the complete concert from Shout! Factory here: www.shoutfactory.com/product/c...
The black-tie event was an historical moment: an official inaugural event featuring some of the finest musicians of the '50s and '60s from Stax and Chess Records including Bo Diddley, Percy Sledge and Carla Thomas, along with several hotshot Texas blues guitarists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan at the height of their careers.

Girl still got that “it” factor even in 2023. She’s been entertaining our loved ones on the other side of Wang Dang Doodle Heaven🌹🎸😎
I saw Koko Taylor and Willie Dixon at one of the Chicago Blues Fests in the early 80's. The bill included Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter and Buddy Guy along with many others. It took me a month to completely come down from that show.
I saw Koko Taylor in Buddy Guy's Blues Club late December 1997 between Christmas and New Years. Standing room only my hotel said sometimes they let our guests in even when sold out. I waited as the door man passed a few others by saying it was sold out. He then opened the door and let me in being in a wheelchair I sat up front the only place left to sit. She sang her heart out...a young boy would run fresh handkerchiefs so she could dampen her face she was singing at full strength of her lungs. Great performance and great experience taking in the blues in Chicago with Koko Taylor.
Those early Blues Fests were phenomenal. The acts that performed there were legends.
I believe it! it would take me just as long to get over that mess! The best mess. 🙌🙌🙌
I saw her at her Blues club, Koko's on the Near NorthSide of Chicago; we used to go there at least once a month; alternating with Buddy Guy's and Yesterday's.
I'm sure it did. What legends?
I saw Koko Taylor I believe in Montreal in 1979 or 1980. 🥁
The Rising Sun club invited all those great Blues legends to play. This is a great 👍 tune. I saw Willie Dixon separately twice and took pictures. John Lee Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, Junior Wells Buddy Guy, Lighnin Hopkins and more 🎸🎸 were also guests...
Love that Ronnie Wood is just there playing backing guitar. Respect
That’s my great uncle Wille Dixon
She was the real deal. I saw her in Memphis and Mississippi decades ago. I met Mr. Dixon in Boulder, Colorado in 1972. He was a great guy. They’re all missed.
Wow! That's Awesome
I'm not a hater, but I envy you for having met Koko Taylor. I would have loved to have met her and seen her perform.
And you can listen to her, look at her and tell that there was no pretense about her. Like you said, "the real deal."
When I was in first grade we had Black History Month concert for the parents and my teacher picked me to play her.It was me a few other classmates with these paper instruments.She bought me a wig ,heels, and microphone.I learned the lyrics to this song and did some moves she taught me.I dont remember the teachers name but that day I was on that stage made me realize how much I loved performing.My teacher told me I was born to perform.Wish I could find her somehow.
I'm from the Chicago area and every time I saw Koko Taylor I wanted to be able to perform like that. When I lived in Arkansas a guy would take me to Juanita's blues club and we'd dance for hours. I'm 76 now and my dancing days are over since I've had one knee and both hips replaced 🙃 BUMMER
Guitarist Keith Richard's of the Rolling Stones was quoted once saying Koko Taylor told him if you want to really play good Rock N Roll music, learn to play the blues. Koko was right. All the great Rock N Roll guitar players know the blues. Richie Sambora, Mick Mars, Jeff Healey, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaugh and Bruce Springsteen just to name a few.
Without the blues all we have is Pop, Gospel, Jazz, and some obscure folk isolates... I don't see the blues as a genre so much as it is a movement and an ethos, maybe even a lifestyle. Sorta like punk or gangster but more enduring and way more far reaching. Absent blues, country music is a patchwork of regional folk scenes.
I was there -- met her and Willie Dixon both
Thank you for authentic unforgettable blues...these folks will all be gone soon leaving us with musical memories to last
I had the opportunity to show Koko around Harborfest in Racine,Wisconsin. A beautiful lady and she loved the fest. What a beautiful soul. RIP love!
Koko Taylor, Willie Dixon, and Cash McCall on guitar. This was an awesome performance.
Agree!! Is that also Ron Wood of Small Faces and Stones playing in the background?
cera anche ronn wood degli stones
My dad and our neighbor's garage band would play this at EVERY backyard barbeque he passed away when I was 10. I would see her shopping at a mall I worked at in my teens. I wish I hadn't been so shy and told her how her music kept the memories of him alive to me.
I'm here for the young country folk that still love some down home blues!
Without the blues, Hank Sr would've been a studio gospel guy (if he could've got work at all). Absent the Delta underground scene with its backwater honkey tonks and hooch pantrys, country music is a patchwork of isolated folk movements hiding their art from religious lunatics and uncultured violent reactionaries.
R.I.P. KOKO
Koko Taylor + Willie Dixon = BLUES!
Good Lord. I get goosebumps listening to this magic.
That damn BASS line 🔥🔥
Koko Taylor and Willie Dixon,it doesn`t get much better than this!
Never has and NEVER will be another team like this!!!🤓
@@a.t.oliver1886 Not sure there will never be another like this, but it is certain there never has been and there is none now. Too bad these great, great artists never got the money and recognition they deserved.
@@Walker-ld3dn Sadness in America!!!

My Momma use to play this at her Hit House back in the 80's.
You know she's the real deal! She not only sings the song, but her gritty deep sound tells the story about a fierce strong will to convey the truth, and you ARE GOING TO PAY ATTENTION!!

She is certainly, sorely missed in the Blues genre.......

I had never heard this song until about five years ago, but it immediately found a place in my heart. Long before knowing about this song, I had nicknamed my dog The Doodle.

I saw Coco Taylor in the 70s at the Philadelphia Folk Festival
just great
You Go Girl
After playing the Koko Taylor version ,on the radio, I called into Johnny Otis show and pointed out that Howlin Wolf did the original "Wang Dang Doodle" and as he disagreed, his guest told him ,that I was right...a Willie Dion song .......
Willie Dixon and Koko Taylor, I am also a bassplayer, you should see Mr Dixon on a upright, he was astounding there as well, alas, these fine people are sadly missed
Curious...
"Your Intro" currently doesn't mention that ROLLING STONES' Ronnie Wood is playing too...
INCREDIBLE BAND!

My 8th cousin removed was married to butcher knife toating Annie and automatic slim was his best man
Ron Wood

sorry to say that....but if there's anything that God put in the world...with soul and heart it was the old blues and its songwriters and singers like this diva....blues is to hear and feel with the soul and heart
Real shit
That guitar lick at 1:08
I'd like to see a list of all the musicians on the stage for this song. Anyone got that?
Is that Ron Wood as well?
Kent Dias yes,
Kent Dias Good eye.
My God my God go big or go home
Who is the other guy that got Ron Wood in his groove?
She could out sing Etta James; and that is not easy!
