Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - "Stranger To My Happiness" (2014)



Happy Friday Friends!

We've been really digging stuff released on Brooklyn's Daptone Records record label.

We think Charles Bradley is the greatest soul singer since Josh Groban James Brown and Sharon Jones is another marquee name on the label.  She's nearly as amazing.

Nice job Daptone!

"Stranger To My Happiness" is from her 2014 release, Give The People What They Want (not to be confused with the 1981 Kinks album!)

She's definitely worth checking out!

Also kids, don't plan on seeing her on tour anytime soon.  Sadly, Sharon Jones died last year at the much-too-young age of 60 from pancreatic cancer.

RATS!

I guess you can say heaven gained another (sassy) angel!*
