Yet somehow, the beloved and heroic soul singer found time to complete a studio album.

She sang gospel in churches her whole life and spent many years leading her choir at the Universal Church of God in Brooklyn.

Later, she began singing in wedding bands, and worked such jobs as armored car guard for Wells Fargo and corrections officer at Rikers Island prison. In 1996, she sang back-up on a Lee Fields session that Mann was producing, after which he put her front and center, at age 40, for her first-ever recording as a front woman, \"Damn It's Hot.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJones and the Dap-Kings recorded their 2001 debut album, Dap Dippin' With Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, in the Brooklyn basement, followed by a series of increasingly popular albums and 45's, and constant, ecstatically received touring.

Capturing a current snapshot of where the band is at this time, Eufórquestra came out with a big, fresh sound and new direction that still feels like Euforquestra's signature \"modern funk with vintage soul,\" but also infuses current topics in a way that has not been realized before with strong, compelling pieces. The band's journeys in early 2020 brought them to The Democratic Republic of the Congo, which created new friendships and new vision that Eufórquestra brought back home and forged into the album \"While We Still Got Time,\" as shown on Congolese pop star Papa Wemba cover \"Show Me The Way.\" Make no mistake, Eufórquestra's honest sound and cultural influence is on display once again for their latest and greatest contribution to their venerable catalog that made its way from Iowa to Colorado more than a decade ago and has continued to grow across the world for nearly two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Color Red Music","offers":[{"title":"Digital Download","offer_id":43421479239910,"sku":"196429105065","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5095\/8182\/products\/3a27fd82-3435-4590-a1ca-384631823e67-LARGE.jpg?v=1664830152"},{"product_id":"omar-coleman-strange-times","title":"Strange Times","description":"It’s the core philosophy of astute curiosity that’s established Omar Coleman as a rising star with iron-clad longevity in the national blues scene. Hailing from the West Side of Chicago, Coleman grew up entrenched in soul music and black music that defined the era in the mid-90s. Working as a barber by trade, Coleman recalls being bored at his shop on Michigan \u0026amp; Adams in Downtown Chicago and sauntering to the music shop down the street to pick up an instrument to pass the time. He landed on the harmonica thinking it would be easy to learn quickly and would fiddle around on it between cutting hair and usurping the shoeshine guy’s chair when he went to shine shoes in the back. With many clients being musicians, Coleman would learn about Chicago being heralded as ‘Home of the Blues’ and was tipped off to legends such as Buddy Guy, Howlin’ Wolf, and more. Another world opened up.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFast forward to 2020 after tours to Brazil, Japan, and Europe and headlining shows \u0026amp; festival plays as both a solo artist and harmonica player (including the award-winning Sean Carney Band who won the International Blues Challenge) where Coleman found himself flying to Denver, Colorado to work on ‘Strange Times,’ produced by Eddie Roberts of The New Mastersounds. With Roberts at the helm as a master of analog recording techniques and capturing vintage tones, much of the composition work was done in the studio that allowed Coleman the space to expand his style into danceable, soulful groove music and craft lyrics to float over them. The result lands him in the same blues and soul revival category with artists like Charles Bradley, Sharon Jones \u0026amp; The Dap-Kings, Gary Clark Jr. and more.","brand":"Color Red Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44211563987174,"sku":"CRED-306-DA","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5095\/8182\/files\/StrangeTimes_LP_OmarColeman_COVER.jpg?v=1705522515"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5095\/8182\/collections\/SharonJones_DapKings_Artist_WebImagery_v1.jpg?v=1668990411","url":"https:\/\/color-red.com\/collections\/sharon-jones-and-the-dap-kings\/jazz-blues.oembed","provider":"Color Red Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
