Koko Taylor - I'd Rather Go Blind (Live)

Koko Taylor performing the blues classic, "I'd Rather Go Blind," live. This is without a doubt the best performance of this song I've ever heard and definitely ranks highly on the list of my favorite blues vocal performances

Miss Koko

Im just 49, i did not have the privilige to find you earlier in my life, I was a child then

Lady, may God bless you for giving me the gift to hear this song

I am white, but never felt like being it.............I know my blues, my soul

You feel what you are singing, and I have been there too, and in so many other sorrows

No more pain for you, live free in heaven, Miss Koko, hoping to meet you there and take a bow for you

Love

Anna

Comes of the great album called Koko Taylor and her bjues Machine. And what better title than "An audience with the Queen. And she was the queen of the blues and will be sadly missed. God rest your saintly soul Koko. I was lucky enough to find the album on a stall and the rest as they say is history. And yes this without adoubt the best version ever made and will ever be made. Fabulous stuff just simply fabulous stuff.

Etta James has passed away today! They both are the best in I'D RATHER GO BLIND. I'm on my knees, I'm praying. Sweet Lord, wash their sins away.They shared their gift of singing so generously. They deserve it.

This is my first experience and introduction to Miss Koko. This white girl tips her hat! Etta has always been my favorite but there's always room for excellent talent!!!!

KOKO was always able to sing what I was feeling. WOW I love this woman. My kids grew up on the blues. (That's why they are such good spouses now!) When I get in one of those moods even to this day(40 yrs later) it's ME, KOKO, and a glass of a little sompin' Sompin'
