Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings ,

are a funk/soul band. They are signed to Daptone Records, where the Dap-Kings are the house band. They are widely thought[by whom?] to be spearheads of a revivalist movement that aims to capture the essence of funk/soul music as it was at its height in the mid-1960s to mid-1970s.

Stone emerged to fame in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, The Soul Sessions, which made the 2004 Mercury Prize shortlist.
