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.”
