  • Amazing!!

  • awesome... Shooting the video on old TV cameras was a wonderful idea. If I didn't already know who this was, I would have thought it was old footage

  • Shoutout to the whiteboy playing the conga drum.

  • If James Brown had boobies, he would sound something like this. I guess.

  • i love you auntie

  • Just found this magnificent African American sister on WETA - DC Public TV this morning...She sings and dances from pure soul, like no other! I felt my African Ancestors rejoicing in her performance! I watched her interview and she stated, "she was too dark skinned, too short, and too fat." With all these obstacles she ignored them and pursued her dream and the world is the winner savoring in this sensual talent...Her performance made me joyful that I am alive experience her.

  • I love this!

  • Shαron Jones is reαlly αmαzing...

    I  ❤ this song <3

  • she was a correctional officer before she got famous what a dramatic transition ! great soulful voice!

  • OMG! I NEED to watch her sing!

  • thumbs up if a free Starbucks music card brought you here

  • 207 people are completely dead inside.

  • This is tight!

  • shit.

  • This Woman & Band should be on top of the music world.

  • this music is fabulous !!!

    but why the hell do they need to put this Retro style images ?? i'm fed up with those cliché !!, does James or others tried to look retro ? what does it mean ? look man she's sing like the original musicians who invented soul ???? godamn we do not need those cliche to appreciate this lovely music. fuck the trends

  • Where's the love button?

  • it sounds like black to black ..i meant just the music.....really...i love amy..but this woman says they stole her music...and it seems to b truth

  • subliminally, if we wanted to, we cold swist it and say carol was speaking to amy in the first verse to stay away from blake.

  • Thumb`s up if you saw her at a festival or a consert and thought that it was the best soul you`ve heard in a while.

  • heute und nur hier: Kulturarena JENA! wuhuuuuu geil geil geil :D

  • Just saw them live in Oslo! They have so much energy !! really good performance

  • Always have loved this!!! Real soul...couldn't tell ya the new crap...this is grassroots and back alley blues!!!

  • Groovy video, amazing band.. So in love with Sharon Jones...

  • Sorry about Amy, really sad! You guys still keep the retro fresh though !!!

  • so damnnn good. never get tired of this. have to dance when you hear it!!

  • She gotta be straight outta the church !

    Good stuff

  • A Chris Benoit video brought me here.

  • sharon you' re the best! love your style!

  • brilliant. superb performance.

  • I wish Sharon Jones was more out there than she is. It's a shame real soulful singers can't get any shine in the industry.

    Check out my new video - I'm a sister keeping the blues and funk alive!!!

  • Sharon Jones and lee fields should make a collaboration

  • Just saw Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings on Austin City Limits last night. Damn! she is the most exciting singer to come along in ages. They had the whole audience on their feet. As good as this video is, she's 10 times as wonderful live!!!

  • YEAH!!!!!

  • Brilliant in every way... it's a complete soul master-class for singers, instrumentalists and producers alike. :-)

  • I was just learning to love music when this type of R & B / Blues first became popular! I'm older, so that means I'm wiser, and THAT means they were fabulous! I'm so happy to see real artistry resurface. I listen to my youngest daughter's music and think, "Oh God, is that what they'll be reminiscing about in 40 years!"

  • thank you Jesus for miss sistah jones

  • Saw them performing with Prince! Absolutely amazing! Best I heard in years

  • YOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I just got hip

  • Sang , just sang, soul sister Jones. It don't hurt to have a bad ass band too boot (that reminds me of James Brown's J.B's and "Dyke and the Blazers."

  • loved it the 1st 20sec

  • With you 100% tarbash7!!!

  • OMG

  • this woman knows how to do it baby!

  • Fuckin' A ! :))

  • Aaah, now I know who that bitch Wino is copying. Equation: white girl singing soul = success. Black girl singing soul = wilderness. RACISM - alive and kicking in the 21st Century.

  • @kitty2katty Girl sit down. They all 'copied' from the past. This ain't Sharon's, Dap's or Amy's sound. Girl bye.

    I'm not saying white singers being more marketable isn't a mess, but let's not go that far, boo. Besides color, Amy dressed the part, had a fuck you swag, a quirkiness, a shtick. That sells as well. Something Sharon should get herself.

  • oh YEA!!!!

  • it would appear that 204 people need an attitude adjustment

  • q voz , q som, maravilha...s/ palavras.

  • FUCK, IS THIS NEW MUSIC? My faith in music is restored again, thank you Henry's Crime and Keanu Reeves awful acting once again.

  • SPLENDID!

  • Adoro essa mulher cantando!!

    The White Man from São Paulo/Brasil.

    Parabéns!!!

  • very good

    

  • Muito boa ....demais

  • @wislaff  :))

  • unfortunately, 90% of the audience that supports all these new artists, pays attention to tits and ass...sorry but thats the truth.....

  • @MrChevySpark2 but women like her belong to what we call 100% quaranteed satisfaction

  • @MrChevySpark2 why did you reply to yourself?

  • Comment removed

  • CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF SHARON JONES AND THE DAP KINGS---ESPECIALLY THIS SONG! ROCK THE HOUSE GIRL---YOU GOT IT GOIN' ON!

    THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT WITH US.

  • If I want to hear this kind of music I'll listen to the bands she mimics who did it better and long ago.

  • @tangentgenius but how do you see these bands live you dumb ass?

    brainless shit

  • I love Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings...out my music style in some parts (too bluesy some times, not enough on the funk) but i PRAISE what they did for music recently.

  • pufffffff,what a voice

  • Comment removed

  • SJ is awesome. So soulful. Check out my page for No Rides a world beat style Grace Jones remake.

  • This is legendary.... and they were all partying with us here in my north dakota town and every one of them was real down to earth. Thats the real deal......

  • FUCK LIL WAYNE..... GET BACK AT ME

  • this proves that amy winehouse sucks

  • going to she her monday in madison wi im excited!! 203 ppl are crazy

  • going to she her monday in madison wi im excited!!

  • @ReelsOnWheels88 YES! ME TOO! This show gonna be so bomb!

  • som real soul  , thank you

  • Nossa!!

  • woooow she's amazing

  • i love,love,love this band...you can't fake solid vocals. i hate kareoke - but hell even i'd give this a go on stage LOL!!!

  • very, very cool.

  • A new Etta James?!?!?! WOW!!!

  • A new Etta James?!?!?!  WOW!!!

  • beautiful.

  • I don't know who those 203 people are, or what's wrong with them.

  • She's a blessing for you younger guys, because: almost all the real soul artists of which we love their classic records have passed away or are too aged to sustain a full 1h30 gig on stage. So face it, you will always have to listen to their PRESERVED music. But with Sharon it's different: you can get the real Soul Train-ish feeling LIVE ON STAGE - STILL! So it's her who will keep alive the feelings we had in the past and transmit these to the younger generation! (shizzle, I sound so old :P)

  • @pianoman74 thanks for putting it so well. You are right. The charm of this band will be in getting to see them live. Anyone can drop in a CD or press "play" on an MP3 player for the real thing, but this is the closest thing you can get to it in a live setting now. Of course, they play live in full colour!!! I personally take offense to the cameras being called "vintage" since well, I guess it makes ME vintage too! Come and get me peeps! I'm VINTAGE now!

  • Now people, it's time to drop your trademark phrase "They don't make these anymore". :)

  • Comment removed

  • Little mama can sing

  • Daptone records is the shit!

  • this is excellent

  • y'all gotta hear SJ&TDK's live, it'll blow your mind, I had the pleasure of seeing them last month and am still reeling

  • Thank you Sharon and Kings for keeping real music alive.

  • :)

  • SICKEST

  • Beautifully flawless.

  • OMG!! FINALLY some REAL soul...ala Gladys Night , Aretha Franklin etc. roll over Beyonce....step aside Rihanna...you guys are super cheesy lil girls....this is the REAL deal baby! Fuck it is about time

  • @Tarbash7 amen! They'll be playing at the PIFA festival in Philly next week FREE.

  • @Tarbash7 YES

  • @Tarbash7 finally??? lol. do you mean finally as in the last 40 years? the rest i agree with. modern music has NO soul!!!

  • I'm glad to see that vintage soul is coming back to the homeland.

    All of these British singers are phenomenal, but nothing can beat the pure sound of American Soul.

  • Very nice......was not familiar, but going to Wanee festival in a couple of weeks and she will be performing.....very pleasantly surprised.

  • where i can find the lyrics???

    

  • Holy fuck.

  • it's hard to believe that it's been made in 2007

  • Seeing her in a couple days in New Orleans... amazing artist

  • I have NO idea how this song got into my ipod but I'm so GLAD it did. =]

    I absolutely love it.

  • Amazing Grace!

  • @VoteCheRhymfestSmith How sweet the sound.

  • @darrenzimm Verily Indeed.

  • Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

  • @justin20877 Redundant comment, simply redundant comment.

  • I love your music Sharon and will continue to do so, but please learn to dance.

  • love it!! Just heard her on MB cd and looked her up --

  • rewelacja---

  • Real music is alive and well or it's just been resurrected.  Thank God!!

  • 202 people think it takes less that 100 days to know a man's heart ...

  • @usergroupX It's probably Beyonce trolls who voted this down. They see a real singer and can't handle it.

  • sing sister sing!

  • 202 people suck!!!

  • THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE. 

  • Normally i listen to Electronic (techno and stuff thats where my ear is stuck), im going to see this group preform at sasquatch music festival in washington state and just wanted to say...

    Thats a real voice, and it sounds awsome should be even better live.

  • Seriously, kids...all you northern soulers and Ben Sherman-obsessed mods out there. THIS is how it's done. Show 'em guys.

  • After double-checking the schedule to see what day they were playing , it appears that they are not performing at Jazzfest this year. I could have sworn they were on the original schedule.

  • Old school . Looking forward to seeing them at N.O. Jazzfest.

  • Great
