Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings "I Learned the Hard Way"

[GadSammit]

You can't tell me SHIT when this song is on!!

[georgiemcross]

@HarveyJakesMusic yeah, there he is!

[FIREFLY071]

Haha... @ MabelineMomma and Greggdessen- Nope, not Rick Ross, not Buddy. The guy on bgv's name is Kevin C. Keys ( NYC). On vocals, that's a bad boy! He's all over the record.

[MatteFinish1970]

I absolutely love this song and the video.......AWESOME. They have a new FAN!

[jacobblacklover1000]

I love this song.....very soulful....

[Samuelc1234]

Could not find the title of this song for a minuteeee.

[donchevy48]

Esta. Chingona la rola

[kadeee55]

Saw on vh1 luv this! :)

[greggdessen]

Is that Buddy Miles playing one of the background singers? Between Lee Fields, Charles Bradley, Buddy, and Sharon... that's some dynamite soul royalty!

[HighDefDownLow]

bitch is BAD! damn. i love their sound - can't wait to see em live

[whyz8ruler]

Nuff Respect sis!!

[goodlifeful]

The guy in blue suit could represent James Brown

[l4z3rUS]

I love this mix!

[meanladymusic]

Can't help but TOTALLY love this !!!

[yanfrom1987]

BETTER THAN SWEAT

[MrCheese2021]

FYI Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings are going to be at Free Press Summerfest 2011 on June 4th and 5th. So, if you live in Houston or nearby it's definitely worth going to.

[RXTVonline]

Black Music. Love Music. People Music.

[DeLeeJay12]

I love this song. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are the jam.

[powerplantape]

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings are awesome! What a range of musical dynamic and expression! Let me recommend you to visit them when they're in concert to the city next to you! (I went that way from 600km from Bavaria to Berlin in April 2010.)

And get yourself some vinyl (including mp3-download) at your local record store! You won't regret it!

[EazyL0ve]

damn amy winehouse, this is true music

[jaydeesmithers]

Seventy Sexy Soul Sounds - Serious Sumptuous Superb

[mami2freshh]

Darryl why bring Amy winehouse into this? And why do people seem to compare 2 good artist for? Stfu and enjoy their music.

[funkeduprightnow1788]

i hope you searched my youtube username !

so i can say , Yea fuck you , now i know about you ...

yes i blocked you from my email, from my facebook, from my youtube AND from my life

[crazyjayDJ]

Top marks in EVERY respect. Beautiful song, fantastic vocals and arrangement - complemented by a really well put together video! I just love it.

I've never heard of her before, but this track was one of the bonus tracks pre-loaded on the Sansa Fuze+ so I had to look her up.

[willardlol]

I can't believe I just discovered this amazing woman :O

Such a soulful voice!

[uVueD2b]

Every now and then someone comes along to come along to remind us that great writing,great voices & a great live band wins out (i.e. Brand New Heavies).No gimmicks,absurd stunts,making music-for-the-moment nor diva-ish attitude will NEVER replace artistic ability (i.e. Lady GagGag). Yes-short term,they'll make a few mill by fans who don't know any better & at the same time half the country saying their music sucks. Just like Teena,Sharon didn't sell out & made music that's in her soul...

[SergioSantosP2010]

Maravilhoso :D

[Tejano44]

Awesome !

[greencoopers]

ohhhhh, yeaaaaahhhhhh. Real music by a woman with a gift, passion, soul and a work ethic! I'm so sick of all the manufactured, 5 minute fraudulent popsters. This is the real deal!

[jedwing]

@greencoopers Yo man, word up! Saw her and the Daps at Brooklyn Prospect Park this summer - best show I've seen in a million years.

[greencoopers]

@jedwing Cant wait to Sharon and her groovers in little ol' Adelaide, South Australia next week!! 

[RosadaDelanoProfundo]

I wish she was heard more on the radio here. I've been listening to Sharon and the Dap-Kings for a year now. She's been around for several years now. Sorry I missed her concert in Phoenix. Hope she got a great reception and will return. Maybe this time to Tucson. But Tucson can be a real cow town sometimes (macho men carrying guns into restaurants and bars screaming it's their 2nd Amendment right). Love this song.

[ndatass]

axwell reelly???

[pjdance]

Best live show of 2010!

[414diamondgurl]

I Love this Song

[adopson1991]

omg i love her voice! first time i eva hearing this!! love all her songs!!!

[DarrylWThomas]

Forget about Amy Whitehouse. This is the REAL joint!

[vietprodigy91]

@DarrylWThomas who the fuuuuuuk are u to bring amy winehouse name into this. your going on as if there is only one person in the world that sings soul

[DarrylWThomas]

@vietprodigy91 Swallow a Chill Pill and Relax. I was just stating my opinion.

[Yoli64]

This Is The **it!

[lavernelaw]

I saw Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings in San Diego- at the Belly up. The best show I have seen in a long time!!

I cant tell you how awesome they are in concert..... You just have to be there.

[dukeofsoul]

KILLER SOUL

[jacqshope]

Wow! I just learned of this band (group) and I can't wait to see them live! OMG, Amazing voice.

[ifeelyourfever]

Just got introduced to this band via this song. LOVE it. Amazing voice on that woman.

[HansSaab99]

Great music! Amy who? Winehouse? Never heard of her again (and there's no need for too!) Dap-Kings rule.

[bensuperdetka]

@HansSaab99 Dap-Kings collaborated with Amy. and Sharon likes her. Amy is talented as well, no need to diss her like that

[ozulu45]

HEARD ABOUT HER FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS, AND THOUGHT IT WAS SOME RARE OUT OF PRINT 60'S SOUL! BOY DID THEY GET OVER ON ME WITH THIS!! EVERYTHING IS MIXED DOWN JUST LIKE THEY DID IT BACK THEN!!

[ADAMMNNN]

AHH damn im gonna kanye on this track get this ready for Reason...

[abbakabba321]

@ADAMMNNN put it on ur channel after ur done so we can hear it

[finlayhallone]

this IS from 2010, but is so brilliant musically classic soul

[Piscesplane7]

i get chills at the end when she walks in and see them, you know whats shes thinking, 'i should cut a mutha..."........LOL

[Yepthatswright]

@Piscesplane7 I absolutely agree! "Should cut a motha..." haha

[Piscesplane7]

@Yepthatswright

I wa about to laugh too hard out loud, and then i forgot my daughter was sleep. You are hilarious!

[stevestimulation1]

Please tell me this is from 2010??

[TASTYAwards]

Well done

[delusionaldiminutive]

Sharon Jones AND the Dap Kings. Amazing. Thank god people are still making amazing music like this. So much soul. Ah soo good.

[hymay1970]

lorrainetube my remarks had to do with the things i read/heard that she had to endure . . . what she was told - she was too black , too short, too fat to make it bigtime. (Wow! does anybody actually read or listen to what the artist herself has to say??? My remarks only come across as stupid to the uninformed!

[soulwedgie]

brilliant record, love the styling in the video. 

[littledrockers]

I can't say I have ever disliked a sharon jones and dap kings song...they put their soul into every song.

[Kherudjhuti]

wonderful! sang gurl!

[MrPoonGoon]

ahahahah just realized Lee Fields cameo in this... AMAZING

[Hiparooski003]

Hell no there is no AutoTune in that. . . Pure vocal from the Soul! 

[wwebtime]

Nice! Did I find some old fashioned Mowtown in today's world?

[sirlonghair]

I have done sound on national stages for a decade and have rarely scene consistent performances done like Sharon Jones dose over and over super amazing live you MUST go and see them it takes a lot to impress Me and man did this band ever

[MriNN0vAtivE]

i love Sharon Jones. everybody needs to hear her voice

[mrl2u]

That look at the end says it all...!!

[JoeGancher]

Now i know where Winehouse gets her sound from.

[MattTrevithickMovies]

Gah. Why isn't this on the Top 40..

[Musicvegan58]

@MattTrevithickMovies Because there's no autotune or Disney singers, lol.

[SpiraledStaircase]

@MattTrevithickMovies because the top 40 generally sucks. . .

[jazz81887]

oh shit, the end is priceless tho.

[yerasshurts]

<3 <3 <3!!!! Good God!

[Shirokinukatsukami]

Just saw Sharon and the Dap-Kings on the weekend. Venue was packed, energy fantastic, band utterly devastating.

Lets here a Sharon/Aloe Blacc duet.

[BearHeart13]

Just read about her andt the Dapkings, yesterday. Wow! She , and they, are fabulous.

[7Nubi]

The best INTRO-

Don't Tell Me to Calm Down:)

[jazz81887]

@7Nubi

the best! lol

[disturbedshawn]

Too fabulous

[martitanyc]

@Lorraineutube... "not too black" is an insider's joke ;-)

[daniva]

best song of 2010 by far

[BeatsYouCanDig]

@daniva Best album of 2010 by Far!



[imdanhoover]

soul is alive and well....

[upicku]

thanks Saundra and Starr!!! This is my type of music!!!!!! You guys are awesome!!

[lorraineutube]

i saw them on colbert and stephen's socks were officially rocked off. lol i ran out and bought the new cd, and have been enjoying it since. thank you sharon & company! you're amazing.

[hymay1970]

NOT too black! NOT too short! NOT too fat! Simply GREAT!!! Keep up the awesomeness . . . :)

[lorraineutube]

@hymay1970 i have no idea what you mean by "not too black"... seems like a stupid thing to say, tho...

[lepsu0176]

This group rocks!! It's been a long time since I have heard music this real, this raw! This lady has big soul! Gonna have to find this album!

[Giantrobokc]

An amazing song all around.

[felixagnes87]

hot hand in a dice game baby girl

[paranoidandroid1997]

ooo wao i think maybe i'm truly amazed with this girls and the dap kings, it's a delight to listen.

[imdanhoover]

dig it..

[punkboi34]

fuckin great intro

[namkooc]

Lee Fields looks so much like James Brown hes amazing too I love Sharon I wish her dresses were a bit longer though shes like mid 50s lol

[fannycraddock99]

I think that Sharon is like a breath of fresh air in what is currently being passed off as soul as she's old skool. Real singing, real musicians, real soul.

[hbpinc]

@fannycraddock99 i agree too much crapp on the air waves she is the truth.

[DaniATL]

Lol, she snuck up on that asss!

[Sirenide]

Found Sharon on a recent episode of NPR's Fresh Air. Brilliance!

[CongregationChi]

Looking forward to seeing them at the Vic in Chicago!

[mainattraction5150]

Pure Soul!!!

[1Candysweets]

@HaliB75 r u sure, I read in O magazine "I'm 50-some years old-I am old school." Those were her exact words. The subtitle of the article reads "A newly minted pop star at 53, Sharon Jones is loving her moment in the spotlight." Her music is classic 60's soul tho.

[willowleavip]

I love that sneak attack by sharon at the end of the video! lol that guys got some splaining to do

[FIREFLY071]

"Don't tell me not to act crazy..."- Sharon. LOL

[stmonica100]

You;re the bomb

[alepdlc]

Missed the Apollo show, but I won't miss the next!

[roseypebble]

stunning :)

[1Candysweets]

Lol yeah James Brown (cough) I mean Lee Fields was funny "Well aint that a bitch". I like this chick Sharon, she rocks. I love how she's doing her thing in her 50's. U go girl!

[HaliB75]

@1Candysweets Actually the 60's. LOL!

[Ratkinson1968]

Saw them at the Apollo tonight, Sharon was the bomb and that band is tight!

[3dstacey]

lady is hot!

[deftones4u]

[thehoundsound]

One of our new favorite female artists. Miss Sharon Jones.

Much love The Hounds

[Richalbert]

An incredible CD I bought last week. I hope to hear any of it live for the first time.

[piofinn]

Haha, loving Lee Fields at the start! "Well ain't that a bitch!" XD

[conmedi1]

Hi, I'm looking for a boyfriend. I'm lonely
