Members Svi Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 Heard this this afternoon....such sad news. I thought that woman would be singing till she was 100! I grew up in a "blues" household...the blues were blasted all weekend and my dad loved to crank it up to get us kids up. Koko was a fave. Seen her a few times as well. RIP Koko.

Members Sugarskull Posted June 4, 2009 Members Share Posted June 4, 2009 A key influence on my vocal stylings. How sad. I had the pleasure of splitting a gig with her nephew once. Great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
