Sharon Jones Rehearsing James Brown Medley with Lee Fields

[trufiend138]

so tight....they should let me be a dap king...my skill: dancing, hyping, and signifying..

[DJRAKKK]

One of the best bands in the Entire World...they really are.

[clifftorres]

So why is Adele seemed to be much more hailed in the press?  She has a good voice but her songs are meh....

[erikutz]

@clifftorres She's got a completely different sound and of course, she's more mainstream.

[Auntkekebaby]

Go 'head Sharon! Great performer! Lee Gets DOWN!

[fireshot808]

MAIKA'I

[nanouamal]

Que du bon ,quel plaisir... try me...

[PaulDA2000]

Whoever said that Lee Fields looks and sounds like James Brown must be smoking something lol. He looks and sounds nothing like the Godfather!

[Poppycockify]

love this.

always interesting to see rehearsal / studio footage.

thanks :o)

[123sinnaig123]

Πολύ αξιόλογη εκτέλεση από όλους

[antisha76]

Soulful hot dip inside!

[teamrookie]

ohhhhh, that ending hurts.

[Rubyvelle]

love you Sharon! and band!

[drnubian]

what is the name of the intro riff opening james brown song,

[Lukaskg1989]

@drnubian i'll go crazy-james brown and the famous flames

listen to James Brown Live at The Apollo if you haven't already

[PaulDA2000]

@drnubian - The opening riff is 'Let Yourself Go'.

[SlightlyDazed7]

Wicked guitars. Fat horns. Wow. This makes everything in the top 40 seem so insignificant.

[Textra1]

Exactly. This is RnB, not that pap in the top 40.

[theUpsett3r]

@SlightlyDazed7 everything in the top 50's for the past 5-10 years has been insignificant.

[rockdiga]

DISGUUUUUUSTINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGg­gg lick s on this one...what a murder track !

[HendrikBass]

You people are the medicine i cant't live without. Thank you for that !!!

Come to Holland please....

[CommBreakDown]

only if you promise to make that k and X

[redvelvetjacket]

I discovered this video a few months ago but keep coming back to it. The Dap Kings are the best band in the world and Sharon Jones is a gem. Even in rehearsal they're tight!

[kmp3000]

Good Video. Thanks for posting.

[roboshuffle]

I love you, Sharon!!!

[alulu8]

We wanna pay tribute...to the man...who beat up...every woman he dated..or married. GOT DAMN!

[jesamani75]

we wanna pay tribute...to his musical life...not his personal life.

[pallet3473]

go somewhere else you fool!!

[alulu8]

No, I will not. I do not condone violence, and won't ignore it either. Nor do any decent people.

[birger67]

so you wanna tribute what ?

celine dion LOL

[alulu8]

Yeah, because that's the only option. Way to show respect to women. Celine Dion is a gifted artist. So are Bettye White, Etta James, Big Mama Thornton, Janis Joplin and Tina Turner.

[birger67]

omg what a narrowminded view

because you hail his music doesnt automatically mean, you agree with the mans behavior .

[alulu8]

I dunno...you gave him bail money.

[birger67]

if thats your point of view i say

GLADLY and i would do it again

because of the music.

the other way is stupid narrowminded and a devoid of common sense

but anyway post your ideology all that you want

couldn´t care less

you remind me of yehovas witness knocking my door,

no matter what people tell them, they wont listen.

they just want their message spread out.

good day

[alulu8]

Really? You would gladly support violence because someone entertains you....really?

My only issue with your comments is that you suggest the only alternative to James Brown is Celine Dion. There are alot of badasses around who can get down, without beating down.

And yes, I'm being facetious, but it's also something to think about - what do you support when you give an artist or a corporation money?

[alulu8]

To suggest domestic violence is as flimsy and useless as lunatic preachers is absolutely revolting and reveals a big fat whole where your heart is.

[alulu8]

What a dick. LOL.

Heaven forbid a female wail like James Brown. Like, I dunno, Sharon Jones...

[owens113nc]

Is that really james brown? if not he does a great impersonation.......I LOVE THIS GROUP!!!!

[redvelvetjacket]

That's Lee Fields but yep, he really does sound like him!

Long live the Dap Kings!

[Louhuuu]

Oh my God... its fantastic

[12thDecember]

Look at that big smile on her face as soon as the music starts. She was born to sing, no doubt about it :)

[funk83d]

damn that's hot!

[GabsanRose]

DANG this is good stuff!!

[pissandwind]

Damn that is cool as Da Funk as good as it gets

[Mongo76]

okay he does sound exactly like James. He must have studied him for a long time... got inflection and all down.

[lordritchie]

very Hip clip! Thanks

[chininaFunk]

gracias sharon!!! Gracias James!

[bellboyaudio]

Does anyone know if this got layed down on tape for an album? Or if there is a live DVD of the performance they were rehearsing for?

THis is killer stuff.

Damn.

Groove on Dap-Kings.

-B

Las Vegas

[ukmoore]

outstanding!

[eltee38]

LOVE

[spanishdancerr]

WOW! Amazing! I hope to see them live soon.

[labybirdticia]

Bosco is SO SEXYYYYYYY!! I am so in love with him!

[baikins]

Oh man, Lee Fields looks and sounds exactly like JB in this video... I thought it was the Godfather himself!

[Stationwagonguy]

I was thinking the exact same thing. Damn.

Everyone in there is awesome.

[micr0cosm]

Love Lee Fields.....play some Honey Dove.

[SophiaSanchez87]

Gracias por subir este vídeo, me gusto mucho Sharon Jones,Dap Kings & Lee Fields.

[Oszych]

Amazing !

James and Sharon - just sweet...

[AHOPONE]

I love it classic

[cukjc3000]

How did I miss this group.

Wow, this is the first i'm hearing of them.

hot

[scottybuckets]

LOVE IT! this is some real shit right here. S.J. and the Dap Kings kick major soulful azz

[alwayskeepdrawing]

Thank you for this fabulous video, thank you, thank you!

[adlerfg]

that's what I call good music.

[robibm2003]

Man, I love the guys in this band. They are badass groove doctors. But I would like to hear a vocal on top of it that was better than just serviceable. Really, while she is definitely not bad, she isn't anything special and she tends to sound forced at times. Sorry.

[pdub416]

Are you on crack? Have you listened to Sharon Jones outside of this video? She blows the roof off the live show... soul sista #1

[HonkeyMcWhiteguy]

It's O.K. to be wrong. If you read the title, she IS *rehearsing*.

Listen to a finished track.

Sharon has it going on.

[lurchthing]

so what if its a rehearsing video it still JAMS

[Toufflersois]

Are you the Souleymane Youla's family ?

[rijselguix]

Losc !

[maxoubidou59]

Beautiful t-shirt !!!

go LOSC !!!

[chgugusse]

Losc is universal ! It's JMM who said that.

[SoftSmoky]

i love your t-shirt guy , losc forever . you sounds good

[albabway]

Where did you get this LOSC shirt?

Gygax is the way !

[ruconscious]

this blows my mind! i miss this feel in music. just classic!

[BigBrowz]

I'm surprised it took so long for somebody like these guys to realize that the 60's-70's song arrangements and recording technology is just plain better.

[bugsycline]

'yall ever need a guitar player for a night or two I'll be there...

[missparker2121]

Dang, ya'll got me jammin' at work. Was mad that it stopped :)

[mytheropy]

Alright now! Sock it to me! I can feel this! Hay Hay! Sign me up.

[Augmantius]

This is amazing. These guys deserve a place at the forefront of the musical frontier. I just hope funk doesn't go extinct due to the complete commercialization of peoples minds. The american palette has been comprimised sucking too much cheez-whiz from the corporate tit.

[adeart72]

agreed. today's american music (as a whole) sucks!! bring back the 70's!!

[ruconscious]

we have the talent but not the control to put out good music. listen to the radio and it's like the same song ova and ova and ova and ova and ova and ova and ova again.......

[Clacci34]

SAAANNGGG!!

[funkysole808]

Thanks so much! Please post menahan street band, el michels, anyone in that family! I live in hawaii any love the shit you guys put out. Please post more! Mahalo

[indigoerin]

this is funk genius!

[djbrownpower]

Dap Kings, Lee Fields, and Sharon Jones. Wow.

[ExistentiaDementia]

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings make people feel happy and dance. And that's fucking swell.

[slappymcdoo]

Wow this is fantastic. Thanks for posting this!

[Beenanka]
