Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@ritapease7511]

If you never saw Miss Sharon sing before, close your eyes. You will think you are listening to the voice of a super solid young woman in her late 20's. A lot of singers start to lose their range, and vocals with age. Not Miss Sharon. God rest her sweet soul. And, those Dap Kings! All of them are old souls. Shining away like stars in the night. Rest easy Miss Sharon. The wonderful music you and The Dap Kings brought us lives on forever.

[@terrikirschenzaft4353]

I remember sitting on my couch next to listenting to this on CBC in Montreal and told myself, i would love to see this woman and the DapKings at our Jazz Festival, but no no no, after they played her song, the announcement came that she passed away the night before, i cried, oh no, she was i swear the best of this generation or many generations, what a terrible piece of news, i finally found someone who excited me to no end and it was her end of life on this earth, what a gifted, powerful gal with that voice, long live Sharon Jones, RIP you lovely giver of song! Terri Leckner, Montreal

[@cedricpeterson5481]

Well said miss Terri.

[@terrikirschenzaft4353]

@@cedricpeterson5481 Thanks for the comment Cedric, wasn't it just a pity she left us! Terri

[@Gigi_sHouse11]

Sarah Davey I'm grieving too. What a huge loss for us all. 😥

[@TongsSung]

cheers sarah, thanks for your eulogy.

[@splitkoli1]

This woman was so so spetacular....Brazil is listening....

[@tonlucena]

Still grieving. Miss Sharon Jones will never be forgotten, God bless her soul.

[@MartiMar84]

Their rendition of “God Rest Ye Merry Gents” is hands down the best I ever heard!

[@mladyhazel]

Sharon Jones is fucking badass. Rock on Lady of Soul. Dap Kings, you are the sap of life.

[@BroccoliBeefed]

Can't understand why they weren't more famous. What amazing music...

[@emerald_archer]

I hate that Sharon didnt get the love she deserved. The band had quite a few hits with Amy tho.

[@Flips77Coupe]

“Slow Down Love” superb performance. Rest in Paradise Ms. Jones.

[@miguelacosta5446]

my fav song too

[@phantom12311976]

Found her after 100 days and 100 night after my father’s passing. I love that song!

[@francisco.6151]

Im in tears seeing this band and its only the first song. Seeing a bunch of people, no matter the age, the creed or the colour of your skin, giving their best to make this great music just gets to my soul deeply. Thank you KEXP and this epic band!

[@model337]

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings made music that vibrated at the frequency of my soul. I don't know how else to explain it. Seeing them live for the first time at the Doug Fir in Portland over a decade ago was practically a life-changing experience. Sharon sang with such power and emotion, and the Dap Kings' played with such joy... I couldn't stop myself from bouncing up and down and grinning from ear to ear. I still have those feelings when I listen to their music today. I had hoped I might see them in concert again someday. Although I had read that Sharon was sick, I didn't know that it had progressed so far. Despite being ill, she continued singing and performing. In front of a mic and a crowd, this woman was an unstoppable force of nature. Just last month I was happily surprised to see the band pop up in the final episode of Luke Cage, sounding as good as ever. But now Sharon Jones is gone. There will be no more concerts. There will be no more new songs. I will never have the chance to thank Sharon personally, or to tell her how much her music meant to me, so I will have to say it here instead: Thank you, Sharon. The gift of your music made the world a happier place, something that should never be taken for granted, especially in times like these. Rest in peace. You will be missed.

[@normaj.3305]

This is a very touching tribute to this remarkable woman.

[@timothyjohnson4191]

I was at that show! It was amazing!

[@jambajoby32]

Oh she knows ;)

[@joffermann]

fuck. id give my right kidney to see her at the doug fir. shit i'd give my right kidney to see just about anyone there ATM. but sharon maybe i'd give both.

[@thomaswalz3515]

I only learned about her passing after I heard her for the first time. Better late than never. What a band... what a front singer. I am astounded... I've been playing Blues for 45 years. This has given me a different look at the dynamics, teamwork. Yet, each player, as an individual, in this band, is outstanding. Sharing this for sure. Great video work, & sound. I watched this whole video, got up and danced, grooved. If Sharon doesn't move you, you have no soul.

[@mesfromusa]

Came here after tracking down her song "8 Days of Hanukah" and now I've got tears in my eyes, reading about her passing. I never heard of her and this group, but just wow.

[@elaacosta]

Long live Sharon jones and the Dap kings they should sure play them more that's right I come here only for them!🙏🏾🙏🏼

[@Tdiva1964]

RIP Ms.Jones. What an inspiration. First record at 40? Just goes to show you can do it no matter what anyone says...

[@rachaelnowlin1752]

I am blown away by her voice. I never heard of her before but thanks to KZbin she will never be forgotten. I'm glad I discovered her music. She was great!!! May she rest in peace.

[@chrisblack3306]

Why is it that someone so blessed in one area is so cursed in another? Sharon had played at our State Fair for a couple of years before cancer snuffed her out. She was so generous and gave interviews at the local radio stations.

[@pmfx65]

I had the chance to see her here in Austria some years agol It was a wonderful night. So sad, that she has died since on cancer.

[@royaltar6961]

Gabriel Roth is the man, but Sharon Jones is the Queen of Soul. RIP Sharon, thank you for your beautiful voice and inspiration.

[@kellynorvell5714]

A STUNNING PERFORMANCE from Ms. Jones and the whole band. The guy on the congos is AMAZING.

[@jamesgonzo5673]

God Bless Sharon Jones....the universe is better for letting Sharon and the Dap Kings BLESS and grace us with such incredible music

[@Knwuce83wry]

I just introduced someone to her today!!! Her legacy grows.....

[@Charles-tt3dr]

I had the pleasure of going to see her when she came to Pittsburgh. Her performance was flawless. She will be missed. RIP Ms Jones!!

[@labradoreadore]

Heaven is rockin for 100 days and 100 nights ... Miss Sharon Jones and Prince together ... both gone too soon. Rest in Music great lady 🎶🎶

[@deemari577]

Sharon you will be missed! What a wonderful soulful songstress who withstood the test of time. You made soul appreciated by many in this new age. And kudos to the Dap Kings and their funk soul sound. Keep it going guys!

[@Frediej21]

WHY CAN'T I LOVE THIS, WE NEED A BUTTON

[@aapl]

One of the best live performers to come along in a long time. So much fun and really miss her energy.

[@1960jack]

Sharon Jones blessed my home town - Seattle with that great voice and band. RIP Sharon Jones

[@tomo823]

Have spent my entire morning watching Sharon Jones concert videos. Such a passionate soulful fiery vocalist & performer. RIP

[@_MusikDigger]

Her voice and way of singing touched my soul . . . R.I.P.

[@Zootsings]

Oh dear Sharon, I miss you. I feel for all your loved ones, musicians you've performed with, all the fans you have gathered - it's all pain now. There is a little light, though, this light of yours: your music, your footage, your heritage. I will never forget your performances in Paradiso (Amsterdam), such a joy, such dynamite, such power, such love. Love to you. Sharon, love to the Dap-Kings!

[@refilwesteffen9903]

Yeah...miss her music, talent & more. Amazing strong beautiful woman. I was at the Amsterdam concert. the BEST.

[@KomradKrome]

If James was the king, Sharon was the queen. Saw her at the Wiltern a few years ago, maybe the best concert I've ever attended.

[@lindajohnson7584]

Sharon and the Dap Kings...can get no better..

[@imari2305]

Just discovered this band and singer only today and to learn she has passed is so sad. What a voice and a band!! RIP....

[@drummer510cb]

Such a loss, sick to my stomach I never saw her live. Appreciate this video a thousand times over.

[@karlsinclair9918]

RIP DAP QUEEN. Thank you - you and the band brought much joy to me . I remember the gig in my hometown back in 2004, when I rounded up all my friends to see you. Lots of time for us all. xx

[@rkl1028]

RIP Sharon! You were an inspiration and a truly incredible artist. You shall be sorely missed!

[@frankuijens8059]

Thank YOU for this beautiful words!!! She was someone came here to get us into the spirit of music.***************

[@jagger952000]

I first saw her on an Australian Tv show called 'Spicks & Specks' & that was it!I was hooked! Just amazing .... her voice, the songs, her presence, everything. Amazing. Watching this with a fabulous band like that, i thought to myself "imagine if she played with the original 'Blues Brothers' band?" Thank you for it all, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings!

[@jordanvictoria4880]

I couldn't find the she played in.

[@thomasmorrison3279]

I saw Sharon Jones perform with Daryl Hall live. She had amazing energy. RIP.

[@BonzoKilbourn]

Gone too soon, but she left the rest of us an incredible gift.

[@dondondoodle]

I'm here with a broken heart as well. The thought that cancer took such a beautiful soul from us, just ain't right!

[@troyhoffman6209]

What a loss. RIP Sharon. Gone but far from forgotten.

[@markricks]

Continue to rest in love, Sharon Lafaye Jones.

[@BlessedMe11]

The loss of a talent, a soul, like Sharon Jones, well, it defies all words. Sing now, in Glory, Sharon Jones.

[@skygazer6898]

How can I have never known this lady? Reading about her passing made me come on here and check out her singing. Wow! what an amazing performer full of energy with a great, powerful voice. This lady must have been born funky. At least I am now aware of this wonderful lady and her band. Sad that it as taken her death though!

[@normaj.3305]

Just watched Miss Sharon Jones" on Netflix, never knew about her before, but then I did some research and it led me to You Tube, I feel so sad that I did not know about her before. What an extraordinary woman, so sorry that I am just knowing about her and her fantastic band but glad that her music lives on. Thanks for sharing, I'm so excited!!

[@spencerpoorman8987]

Rest in power Sharon. Thank you for the music

[@ThaxterTewksbury]

How could anyone, let alone 25 people, downvote this? I'm going to just hope that 24 of them meant to upvote but missed the mark. The 25th.. Well, there's always one.

Lucky to have seen her just before she left us. Amazing , powerful woman with a heart of gold and a voice from the Gods. My only problem with this video is....WHAT is wrong with you milk toast, deadbeats that aren't grooving?! My feet were killing me and I was sweating from head to toe when I saw her! The DAPS are the shit!

[@Pumasarrar]

[@SteveStalzle]

Sharon Jones is a cancer survivor who has recently relapsed and is sick again. There's a documentary about her life now called Miss Sharon Jones! I really want to see it, it's at the Mayan Theater here in Denver. I got to see her with my buddy Mike when he and I got to go to New York City to see Jimmy Kimmel Live in person. Sharon Jones and her group, The dap-kings were the musical act for the show. I've been hooked on her ever since 2012 when we got to go. There's a great soundtrack to the movie about her life. It's also called Miss Sharon Jones! Original motion picture soundtrack. I just got it tonight, it's great. I recommend it highly. They rock, and she is AMAZING and fuckin' FIERCE!!
