    If I may recommend - I’m a HUGE fan of old school R&B and soul, but once Sharon Jones hit the scene over the past 15-20 years, what I call “revival soul” has been so so so amazing! So many modern bands going back to the old sound! I have a spotify playlist here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5o3TgsTajPiYH1JUqLuAm6?si=1c45e206d663444c

    But, if you aren’t on spotify, try a pandora station built off Sharon Jones, Curtis Harding, Lady Wray, Lee Fields, The Tesky Brothers, Durand Jones, - ugh! so much good music!!!

        that’s awesome and makes me so happy!!! While it’s not Sharon Jones specifically, but I really am thankful for what she & the Dap-Kings and Daptone Records did to music over the past 20 years.

          @ren When they were on tour just before her death they played Santa Cruz CA, where I was living at the time, and I REALLY wanted to go to the show (even though I really didn’t know anything about them at the time) but couldn’t due to personal commitments.

          I SO wish I’d been able to go to that show. -sigh-

            I feel so lucky to have seen her 3 different times. Once before she hit, once after, and once more in NYC post-cancer recovery. Just amazing.

            The first time we saw her we went down to Jacksonville and saw her in a dive bar on Super Bowl Sunday. Just 10 of us in the whole crowd dancing to get putting it all on on this tiny stage.

            Amazing and unforgettable.
