Remembering Sharon Jones


December 20, 2016
Thank you, Sharon Jones, for the gift of your music & spirit. I feel blessed to have seen you perform in Cooperstown. Not only were you amazing to hear and see, I remember most how much you connected with the audience while delivering a show I'll never forget. You had the entire audience in the palm of your hand and the music in your tiny and supremely talented little feet. Will miss you and listen to your music always!

Sharon, I will never forget the first time I saw you perform at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in San Francisco. You enraptured me and everyone in the crowd with your magical exuberance and awe inspiring voice. Your message of love, pain, transformation, healing and redemption in your songs ring true and clear. I saw you another time at the Orange Peel in Asheville, NC and after the show I approached you and told you how much of an inspiration you are. You gave me a great big hug and a wide grin not hesitating to connect with me on a human level.Thank you for your beautiful gift and spirit, I am so touched to have seen you and love your music recordings. You will forever live on through your music and message in our hearts and minds. Love and Light Ivy Jeanne

Attending the memorial on Saturday in Augusta was truly a blessing as was every time that I ever encountered Sharon Jones. I felt uplifted and reminded of her heartfelt presence and generous sweet soul.
My condolences go out to her family and amazing community in Augusta and the Daptone family.

Sharon when we met you in 2014, you were one of the strongest women we had ever had the pleasure of meeting....you had my husband & I pulled up on stage with you & later in conversation said to give the people what they want (The title of your new album at the time) Well beautiful lady that is just not possible because they want YOU... Eclectic Wonderland will therefore try to give the the people the next best thing in the form of a tribute performance to you on 21st Dec & your tenacity which was so strongly admired by so many...I hope we can do you & The Dap Kings/ Dapettes proud because like you, they are the most phenomenal musicians ever...you will NEVER be forgotten .... Mary Ann & David Marriott (Eclectic Wonderland) from Australia xx Long live Daptone Records!!

I keep imagining her say, "Yeah, but you shoulda seen the other guy."

Thank you, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings for always making the dance floor do what god put it there for - dancing like our lives depended on it!

So much love to all those grieving! xoxo

My husband and I first saw you in Cambridge before we were even married.... Over a decade ago. I've never seen anyone perform with as much joy as Ms. Sharon Jones. Your courage and determination through this battle was inspiring. We saw you live as you fought your battle and your voice was still the epitome of joy. RIP. Thankful to have so much beautiful music to remember you by.

My condolences to Sharon's family. She had an impact on me through her music, her amazing performances and the way she lived. I am a breast cancer survivor. Her courage and determination inspired me. Thank you for sharing by having the public memorials. I drove to the Imperial in Augusta yesterday. I went alone and didn't know a soul, but I felt the love for Sharon throughout the service. The video and musical tributes were wonderful. The JAMP showed us that Sharon's musical legacy lives on.

Sharon was a force of nature. I am so grateful to have seen her perform live only a few months ago in Santa Cruz, and was so glad to see my friend who hadn't heard of Sharon before become enamored. Thank you, Ms. Jones, for everything.
