February 16, 2009

Sharon Jones is a living legend!!!

The R&B soul diva played a two-night stand at New York’s Nokia Theatre this weekend, accompanied by funk & roots legends The Dap Kings, most famous for their contributions on Amy Winehouse‘s Grammy-winning Back to Black.
Jones belted new, unreleased tunes, as well as classics like “How Long Do I Have to Wait For You?” and “100 Days, 100 Nights.”
Sister even cooked up an impromptu rendition of jazz classic “My Funny Valentine,” made famous by Ella Fitzgerald!
Can’t wait for the next record, S!!! 
Make it happen ASAP!!!
