Sharon Jones…I Heart You
I discovered Sharon Jones a few months ago when I accidentally downloaded this song on iTunes. I honestly don’t know how one accidentally purchases a song by an artist they have never heard before, but I’m so glad I did.
This woman has a voice and a style that make me get up out of my chair and dance in my dining room.
Pardon the French introduction to the video above…after that you will see Ms. Jones and her talent and you will agree…she rocks it.
I love her music so much I went back and downloaded the rest of the albums. (Yes. Plural, as in more that one). They are fantastic. I highly recommend this music!
In many ways, Sharon Jones reminds me of Etta James and Aretha Franklin, or a combination of both, perhaps, yet her style is so original to me. I just can’t get enough.
Here she is with the amazing Dap Kings on Letterman. Enjoy!
