As with lots of larger, rhythm-based bands, its hard to trace the chronology of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. Suffice it to say that then the universe puts the right people together in the right place at the right time, funk-soul magic can still be made old-school style. When the Dap-Kings got together with veteran singer Jones, thats exactly what happened. Three albums later, their 100 Days, 100 Nights is a hot hit, and the Dap-Kings are the toast of the town thanks to their work on Amy Winehouses Back to Black, a quintuple-Grammy winner. And yes, they do record analog, hisses and all. Jones, who gave up singing in the 80s and became a corrections officer at Rikers Island, N.Y., was rediscovered in the 90s and began recording with the Soul Providers, which eventually morphed into the Dap-Kings. Now called the Queen of Funk, Jones released Dap Dippin with Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings in 2002, Naturally in 2005 and 100 Days in 2007 on the Daptone label.
