Koko Taylor (born Cora Anna Walton, September 28, 1928 – June 3, 2009) was an American singer whose style encompassed Chicago blues, electric blues, rhythm and blues and soul blues. Sometimes called "The Queen of the Blues", she was known for her rough, powerful vocals. She left Tennessee for Chicago in 1952 with her husband, Robert "Pops" Taylor, a truck driver

More comprehensive than Koko Taylor's eponymous Chess LP (which is essentially a compilation as well, bringing together a dozen already issued singles), "What It Takes" is an almost perfect collection of Taylor's Chess sides. And diehards will need this one even if they already have the aforementioned "Koko Taylor" album too, I'm afraid, since some of these recordings differ from the ones on "Koko Taylor". Oh, and the latter includes three or four songs not found on "What It Takes".

This single disc neatly collects everything of importance that Chicago blues belter Koko Taylor released through Chess and its subsidiary Checker label, presenting a thoroughly enjoyable, collection as historically important for Taylor's sizzling performances as it is for Willie Dixon's sublime compositions and sympathetic production. Those who know these formative years from Taylor's immortal "Wang Dang Doodle" will thrill to realize that the classic isn't even the best entry here. Don't Mess with the Messer.
