Remember that certain Amy with that wild beehive hairdo? Ummm, its all getting a little hazy, right?

A little known fact was that the crazy singer named Amy had actually “borrowed” her sound…her backup band called the Dap Kings. The Dap Kings really seemed to be the magic ingredient that provided the Back in Black album with that raw, powerful, and perfectly rendered retro sound. The interesting thing about The Dap Kings was that they already had a singer, and a really great one at that…and her name is Sharon Jones.

Sharon’s the REAL deal and she’s UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME.

If you want to give your ears a treat…invite some friends over, fix up some cocktails, and throw on Sharon’s latest record called “I Learned the Hard Way“. It’s totally fantastic.
