KOKO TAYLOR RECEIVES A BEALE STREET BRASS NOTE IN MEMPHIS ON MAY 10, 2012

Koko Taylor, the late Queen Of The Blues, will be honored with a coveted Beale Street Brass Note in a ceremony to be held in Memphis, Tennessee, on May 10, 2012 at 12:00pm CST, just prior to the start of the annual Blues Music Awards. Taylor's Brass Note (the Memphis music version of a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame) will be placed in front of the Historic Daisy Theater, located at 329 Beale Street. Her last live performance was in Memphis at the Blues Music Awards show, just two weeks before her death on June 3, 2009.
