Here’s is John Siscoe‘s take on Koko Taylor and “Wang Dang Doodle“:
“Despite the antiseptic setting and lackluster backing, this is a valuable clip. Any blues performance from the ’60s is a relative rarity, and this gives us a look at Koko Taylor when she was young and in her prime, plus a fleeting glimpse of Little Walter near the end of his life. This took place in Copenhagen, 11 Oct, 1967. The guitar player is a young Hound Dog Taylor. Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee are in the foreground awaiting their moment to go on. Since Willie Dixon adapted the lyrics of “The Bulldyker’s Ball” to create “Wang Dang Doodle,” I always thought it appropriate that a woman should do a successful cover of it. Just as the clip is a rarity, so was Koko herself. There were far too few women in the postwar Chicago blues scene.” – JS
