She was wonderful...I saw her years ago in Mansfield, MA and she shook the house. Her Wang Dang Doodle is the best! I thought she'd live forever. I agree with the previous post - she will be missed.

What a fantastic blues artist. She would make your body move even if it didn't want to. I had the privilege of seeing her at the San Jose, Ca. Blues Festival years ago and can still remember that incredible voice.
Godspeed KoKo and thank you .

I saw her perform in my hometown and she was dynamite! Pops was with her then. She autographed her picture I took with me from the newspaper. She had an AWESOME band. Rest In peace my sister. Condolences to her family
