Sharon Jones paid her dues for years before she began to achieve success as a soul singer at the age of 40. That success was mainly in the company of The Dap-Kings, the Brooklyn-based band she fronted for several years. Their first full-length release together came out in 2002. Last year's soundtrack of the film documentary Miss Sharon Jones! was their most recent album- until now. Jones died in November of 2016, and the final recordings of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings are contained in the new album Soul of A Woman.
