THE HAT SQUAD: KOKO TAYLOR

Legendary blues singer Koko Taylor, of "Wang Dang Doodle" fame, has passed away from post-surgery complications. She was 80 years old.

In Toobworld, she made fictionalized appearances as herself in two series - one set in the live-action Earth Prime-Time, and the other one in The Tooniverse.

In "The Enforcers", a 1996 episode of 'New York Undercover', she showed up while Detective Williams was investigating the murder of his son's tutor.

As usual, things were a little different over in The Tooniverse: for starters, Koko Taylor was now a humanoid animal in an episode of 'Arthur'. She stopped in to the ice cream shop and later helped "Big Horns George" find his voice in the Blues.....

Good night and may God bless.

Wang Dang Doodle.....
