In New York in 1928 Taylor made what is probably her best known and most frequently reissued recording: Mississippi Mud (Victor 21274) with Paul Whiteman's orchestra, also featuring Bix Beiderbecke and The Rhythm Boys (including a young Bing Crosby).
Taylor would work briefly with Whiteman again during the early 1930s, replacing Mildred Bailey who had left the band due to disagreements regarding her salary.
Both songs were re-recorded 8 days later and were included in the rare 33 1/3 long play transcription (L-16017) along with "Take Me In Your Arms", sung by Jack Fulton.
She also appeared on Broadway and in the Vitaphone short film Listening In where she sang I Ain't Lazy, I'm Just Dreamin'.
I’m afraid I was very bitter.” After World War II, Taylor married Texas businessman Bill Gillett.
