Subject: Sharon Jones of retro-soul band the Dap-Kings dies at 60

Written By: Philip Eno on 11/19/16 at 3:56 am

Sharon Jones, the singer who spearheaded a soul revival movement with her band the Dap-Kings, has died at the age of 60.
Jones died on Friday in a New York hospital after a battle with pancreatic cancer, her representative said.
Despite her powerhouse voice, Jones failed to make a breakthrough for decades until a recording session led to a Dap-Kings album in 2002.
The band later won a Grammy nomination and performed at Glastonbury.

I confess I didn't know her before.  But I just found her on YouTube - what a talent!

Now gone, too soon - stupid cancer  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

R.I.P. Sharon Jones
