un meuble (rouge), 2 fauteuils en osier, 2 chaises en pin, des CD/DVD,des bijoux, l'affiche dédicacée par #SharonJones et ses choristes, un ou deux foulards... Des objets que pour la plupart j'avais acquis seule au cours de cette période. Et il me reste Lou parce que c'était ma chatte, ma pote.
One of my favorites. Was lucky enough to see her four times live and each show was magic. Not many people can entertain like she did

Text: The Underplayed Christmas Carol Advent Calendar 2025. “Just Another Christmas Song” by Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, superimposed on a claymation still from a music video promoting their Christmas Album. A Candy cane 2 square sets like a postage stamp in the corner. Jones came from the same hometown as James Brown. She was one of the most dynamic live performers of soul music I’ve ever seen, despite becoming a front woman late in life after a stint as a wedding cover singer; she’d control the crowd with the learned intimidation of a former prison guard, hoping on one foot to turn on the funk motor, leading audiences through the history of black dance, bringing young frat boys to embarrass as she slow danced close to “Easy on Me” teaching them how to groove, then belting out revival soul classics that got crowd dancing on their feet. The Dap Tones backed Amy Winehouse on Back to Black. Together with Brown they formed the establishing cornerstone of Dap Tone Records, the best neo-soul, soul-revival label out there, still operating out of NYC, led by wunderkind producer, Bosco Mann. Sadly, Sharon passed away from cancer within years of when the Dap Tone’s other soul singing discovery also died of the C, a James Brown imitator who traded in an impression for originals, the screaming soul Eagle, Charles Bradley. Both I saw at a music festival and loved for keeping a great musical tradition alive and yet so fresh. Both leave behind a strong discography, and Sharon’s includes a classic-destined Christmas album that like Sharon, manages to be both outrageous fun and also Church. R.I.P., Soul-warriors. This song remains under-played on streaming and radio. I added Damian Wayne to this image due the songs inclusion by Patrick Stump in Merry Little Batman. Way to go, Stump!
It’s a Holiday Soul Party LP cover with a peppermint red and white vinyl—available direct from DapTones (not a paid promo but promoted from my ❤️). Check out bonus track Big Bulbs. https://youtu.be/uL19eKEa3CY?si=7qSWbc_ft0rhx2K1 It’s a great bit of holiday hokum ready made for a burlesque show or family potluck. Help give Bosco a happy Hanukkah, keeping the gents entertained at Christmas being a proud American Jewish tradition since Rudolph (who gets 💩 about his nose). 👃
Day 2.
