You've got to admit, there has not been any good music around these days. Pretty much wimpin' out with stale rap, the dead drumbeat of moldy rock, and, what is it with these "freak folk" people anyways?!

If you have never given a listen to the revivalistic soul and funk stylings of Ms. Sharon Jones then you are in for a treat tonight! Stay with me folks, while I give it a whirl and you give it a good listen!

Oh, and here's her calendar, hope you can make it!:

100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
And a little more
Before he knows his own

You know a man
Can play the part
Of a saint
Just so long
For a day comes
When his true, his true self unfolds

He maybe mellow
He maybe kind
Treat you good
All the time

But there's something just beyond what he's told

100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
And a little more
Before he knows his own

Wait a minute
Maybe I need to slow it down just a little
Take my time

I had a man
Tell me things
Made me feel
Just like a queen
And I thought
He was the one
I would hold
Oh yes I did
But one day
I looked around
That old man
Was nowhere to be found
100 days for this heart to unfold

100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
And a little more
Before he knows his own

Hi. I'm new in town, and just am looking around this amazing community. I'm quite in love with lots of music, especially of the funk and soul variety. I've never heard of Sharon Jones, but wow she is terrific. Thanks for sharing this. I loved it. Btw, it's Hyatt by a nose.

Thanks, all, Sharon Jones is not that well known yet. Please give her a listen. I love all her music, she is consistently good and ranks up there with all popular soul and funk musicians from days gone by.
