Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings

I would argue that Sharon Jones is currently the first lady of cool in modern music. Not because it’s particularly cool to like the soul-funk songstress and her band right now, but because she’s kind of a badass without trying to be and still entirely classy at all times. After watching her interview on “The Colbert Report,” she just seems like she’d be awesome to split a bottle of wine or five with while talking classic music and celebrity gossip. - Brien Overly
