RIP Sharon Jones

A darned shame too. I thought she was in better health after the first bout with cancer and there was a new album out.

I came across her material with the Dap Kings during my days doing volunteer shows via Ecology Action. Not that I got to see them, just a couple other people were telling me about their stuff. Sharon’s singing was at the forefront of this new wave of Soul material circa the Sixties and Seventies yet it was modernized to keep it from sounding derivative.

I highly recommend the albums Sharon did. My favorite single was “Stranger to my Happiness.”
