"Got a Thing on My Mind" found it's way on our party playlist last night atleast three times!  We made believers last night that the 60s 70s soul funk sound can still be played today.  Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings make it easy.  You can hear samples of them all over Mark Ronson's "Version" Album as well as Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" UK hit.  The highly anticipated "100 Days, 100 Nights" album is droppin' on October 2nd which is such a long time from now especially if you've heard the album titled single.  If you haven't heard, Jones landed the part of "Lila" in Denzel's directed and starred upcoming film The Great Debaters with Forest Whitaker.  And of course, Jones and the DK will be featured on the soundtrack.  Catch them at the Apollo for their CD release on Oct. 6th as they kick off a tour that even goes to Canadia!
