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. I am only 12 years old and when i heard this album I got up and starting singing which come first the egg or the hen. Koko and Willie Dixon together makes a great duet. The song Love me and uh huh my baby are classics as well as wand dang doodle.

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

The Queen Of Chicago Blues, Koko Taylor was the modern epitome of the big voiced female blues belter, in the magnificent tradition of Big Mama Thornton, Bessie Smith, and Memphis Minnie. Fittingly, Koko – born 1935 Cora Walton in Memphis, Tennessee – had her career launched in Chicago with a near decade-long (1964 to 1972) stay on the historic Chess label’s Checker imprint, scoring what became the last great Chicago blues hit single, Wang Dang Doodle, in 1965.
