Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are known for their comparisons to classic funk groups of the past. The group's sonic aesthetic is vintage and eschews modern recording methods in favor of vintage analogue equipment and old instruments. Sounding like a band that just stepped out of the past has made Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings popular with music critics and ardent music followers. Unfortunately Sharon Jones died in 2016 after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer.
