My pick for this week's #MusicWomenWednesday is a video from the 1967 American Folk and Blues Festival. This is Koko Taylor doing a live version of her great hit from the previous year, backed by a stellar group of musicians including Little Walter on harmonica, Hound Dog Taylor on guitar, Dillard Crume on bass and Odie Payne on drums.

Koko Taylor: Wang Dang Doodle (1967)

This line-up even visited Finland, playing a show at Kulttuuritalo in Helsinki on October 12, 1967.
