Brief introduction

Taylor was the daughter of a sharecropper.  Koko is her lifelong nickname earned by her early love of chocolate. Besides chocolate, Koko Taylor also developed a love for music from a mixture of songs she heard in church and on B. B. King’s daily radio show. She came to Chicago in 1952 and began singing in blues clubs. She was instantly accepted because of her big voice. In 1965, Taylor was signed by Chess Records. She influenced musicians such as Bonnie Raitt, Shemekia Copeland, Janis Joplin, etc.
