If you weren't at the Beacon Theatre on February 16, 2008, you missed a funky good time! It's been a long time coming, but Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Not competing with today's sounds, filled with technology and tracks covered with mediocre voices "sweetened" with Pro-Tools, Sharon Jones is a true vocalist, who gives her audience nothing but soul in every note. Her band, The Dap-Kings, deliver the funk and musicianship a la The JB's.
If you've never seen James Brown perform, or maybe miss those legendary performances, check out his female counterpart, Sharon Jones. On her latest record, "100 Days, 100 Nights," her voice resonates with each lyric from the title track and throughout the feel-good project, but it is in concert that this woman soars.
Don't believe me? Check her out for yourself.
