June 12, 2009 - Nellie was one of several artists to perform at the memorial service held for Koko Taylor, who passed a couple weeks ago. Nellie tore it up at an otherwise somber event, which was also a celebration of the great Blues life of the Queen Of The Blues Koko Taylor. During the opening of the proceedings a new song dedicated to Koko composed by Nellie with Carl Marshall called "Queen Of The Blues" was played over the loudspeaker. A beautiful Soul song which will appear on a compilation CD called "Soul Discovery" soon (as well as her next album). Later Nellie performed a rousing version of Koko's "Wang Dang Doodle" and her own recent hit "I'm A Woman". We've had several reports that she was phenonenal!
