you can count on one hand the number of times that Prince came out onto the stage EARLY just to play along with the opening act... Sharon Jones UNDENIABLE powerful energy and soul and talent that was completely infectious and couldn't be ignored... forever grateful to the Dap Kings for exposing Sharon (and Charles Bradley) to the world
I was fortunate to see Prince in1983, 1996 and early in 20's. I have 32 of his CD's along with a few albums. His music has walked with me, many lonely nights or breezy summer days. He became the soundtrack of my life. I found Sharon Jones while falling in love with Amy Winehouse, and I've never looked back. Sharon should've received more recognition from the US radio markets, black radio missed this train. My life became easier, humming the music of Prince and Sharon Jones.
I'm loving how looking up anything with Prince has beautiful comments posted, look up anything else nothing but hate. May we ALL live 2 see the Dawn. Peace
I still cry every time I see a video of her. She was a force of nature. So glad I had to chance to see her 3 times in Memphis, TN. The last time was this past September 2016.
I like how Prince waited for Ms. Jones to call him over to solo....he waited...respected HER stage...then she said ''Come on Prince''!!! Then he very quickly did his thang! Amazing.
You know you the shit when Prince come up on stage with his back turned during your set😊😊I need my wish I could of seen this amazing women live before she passed….😢
I saw Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings about half a doz times in Australia and they were the best funk/soul band I've ever seen without exception! R.I.P Ms Sharon Jones you were the best and we miss you.
so good. the way prince walks off stage reminds me of the dave chappelle skit when he walks up to play basketball. rip sharon jones. rip prince. rip charlie murphy
Let's not forget Leon Russell on piano, and Glenn Fry on guitar as well. R.I.P. to all the guys and dolls of the entertainment world who've passed to the other during 2016.
The music lives on....bless for that. Miss Sharon Jones, what a treasure! Yeah, that Prince guy is pretty good, too. They must have some damn fine music in heaven these days.
This woman was amazing and so glad I got to see her at the Sydney opera house not too long ago. I was so upset on her death xx such a great loss ❤️❤️❤️ and the the fabulous a Prince 🥲❤️❤️
Til my dying day I will always love and respect Prince Rodgers Nelson. He was always so gracious. Even though he was the bigger star. It was always abt talent for him. I Sharon was like Prince shooting stars that gave fans true joy. I thank you both from bottom of my heart.
Ms. Sharon Jones was a tremendous talent who will be sorely missed. She and Prince departed this earthly realm in 2016, but left a wonderful legacy of their music for future generations to enjoy.
I was there!!! And all was magic! The sky looked like heaven this day, in this moment! Thanks Sharon, but most of all thanks Prince! for showed me this woman and 4 all the things through my life!
So very sad. One of the best concerts I've ever seen, such energy and what a voice. Would have loved to see her perform one more time. Sympathies to family and friends. What a bad year for music
Wow, That was a fantastic performance. RIP Sharon Jones. Truly a phenomenal talent to be able to dance AND sing with so much intensity when so many younger performers would lip sync. Then there was Prince. Another phenomenal talent lost to us in this shitty 2016.
The best year of my life began with seeing Prince for the first time ever and now the worst year of my life Prince leaving........ all I can look forward to now is going home and seeing his beautiful face........ his eyes always melted me.
What a year of loss 2016 has been. Fortunately we have recordings of amazing talents like Sharon Jones and Prince to get us by. RIP to both shining lights.
They learned that tightness from the Amazing James Brown Band of the late 60's.......if you haven't heard it....Please check out James Brown Live at the Apollo 2 1968 (recorded in 1967) and you gotta listen to the whole show.....The James Brown band at that time..on the whole planet no one could touch!! The Funk and groovy Soul came from James Brown... period!!!....Then everybody else took that blueprint through the years. Even here in Ms. Jones concert they took horn parts and guitar parts and the bass line from James Brown's 1965 live version of '' Papa's Got a Brand New Bag''........now that I think about it the whole song is Papa's Bag. Hope you check out Apollo 2. Ms. Jones and the Dapps were amazing!
Sharon was working out! I get tired just watching this ... with a smile on my face. Her documentary was very good on Netflix. I believe she gave all she had while she was here. Dap Kings on point!
I've watched this video 5x today alone... still in shock over your death. Just spoke to you not too long ago😔 my heart is so broken over this. You'll be missed so dearly..... to know Sharon Jones is to know an angel 😇. Blessed to have known such an amazing woman. I love you forever and ever beautiful 😘💔
She was SOOO amazing! I unfortunately had never even heard of Ms. Jones before her death. I watched this video to see Prince but 8 secs into video it was apparent that there would be no skipping. Couldn't take my eyes of her performance, start a high energy very entertaining lady! Wow! "I'm gonna whup!"
Kesa Hinson, Right! Made me shout back at her for a minute, until I caught myself, lol. I was like, you better GET IT! No routine in that dancing and performance! Sooo pure, I love it!
Sorry to say that I never heard of Ms. Jones until she performed a Knicks halftime set at MSG. I almost left to the consessions right before her performance. When they began rolling out the instruments onto the floor I was intrigued as I love live music performances. She came out for 10-12 minutes and really worked that floor! She was Dynamo! I looked her up to see that it took her until her later years to realize her dream as a performer. I found It very inspiring. I later looked to see if she had any scheduled upcoming performances in my area. Sadly I found that she had just passed. I couldn't believe it. I was very sad for that piece of news but I was inspired at how this woman never gave up on her dream. She may not have reached the pinnacle of successes but she met her goal and fulfilled her life's dream. She has a name to be remembered and left a legacy that her family can be proud of. Bravo Ms.Sharon Jones. RIP 🙏🏾✊🏾💜
I agree ...too bad these so called singers nowadays cannot funk with this woman. Her legacy is rich and she is so missed. And prince...well what can i say about him besides ICON? His Pimp hand was strong!!
I have never heard of this woman until yesterday. I was looking thru Netflix movies and came across this woman's biography and so glad I did. Was she a big secret ??? I am a big fan now. Love her energy. !!!!!! RIP MS. JONES, I know u are missed dearly.
I can imagine Heaven right now.....Sharon is singing, Prince is playing guitar, Jam master Jay is on the wheels of steel cutting it up, James brown is waiting for the drum break to shout his trademark UH & AH's & do the splits, Whitney & Luther are laying down the sweet melody's, Michael is moon walking & grabbing his crotch. R.I.P everyone I just mentioned & countless others we lost in the past & in 2016 !
I remember this concert and the surprise to discover Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings befor Prince. It was a good surprise for everyone, an intensive rythme and a really fun moment: Sharon Jones The Dap-Kings And Prince ... a good evening.
I just got a magazine from Bassett Health Care, an article about Sharon and her survival of pancreatic cancer prompted me to run to TH-cam!!!! Sharon you rock, you are an inspiration girl, tighten up is what you do!!! I love you!!!!
Never heard of this lady, but I'm glad I checked out this video. First impression was "her horn players are getting it" (they had some foot work going on there). Then, when she was breaking down some of these old dances, I was impressed. Looked like a good show.
RIP, Had the privileged to see Sharon Jones Live. A true women and singer. She will be missed and tears are on my FACE. Hang in there Kings, your Queen will live for ever in our Hearts and Minds. Lets Fight Cancer!!!!
Sharon is ON FIRE here. Im getting tickets for the next show on the strength of it. Im a pretty massive Prince fan, Sharon steals the show here though. Pure energy!
Sensational! Beautiful! Soulful! Funky! I don't know anything about Ms. Jones --- but I will from here on out! She TORE IT UP! Ha ha! That's how you do the damn thang! And Prince at the end --- Special! She's gonna be missed, for sure! Rest easy, Sharon.
RIP Sharon Jones and Prince. Two legends that will never be forgotten. 2016 Sucks!!
you can count on one hand the number of times that Prince came out onto the stage EARLY just to play along with the opening act... Sharon Jones UNDENIABLE powerful energy and soul and talent that was completely infectious and couldn't be ignored... forever grateful to the Dap Kings for exposing Sharon (and Charles Bradley) to the world
RIP Sharon Jones. I saw them three times in Nashville and she gave me a kiss last time!
I was fortunate to see Prince in1983, 1996 and early in 20's. I have 32 of his CD's along with a few albums. His music has walked with me, many lonely nights or breezy summer days. He became the soundtrack of my life.
I found Sharon Jones while falling in love with Amy Winehouse, and I've never looked back. Sharon should've received more recognition from the US radio markets, black radio missed this train.
My life became easier, humming the music of Prince and Sharon Jones.
Prince didn't just perform with anyone.......that's just how good this bundle of energy Sharon was. So sad that they are both gone far too soon.
Can you imagine being here?
She was incredible, as are the dap kings, but man I wish I’d got to see Prince live. Vale
I'm loving how looking up anything with Prince has beautiful comments posted, look up anything else nothing but hate. May we ALL live 2 see the Dawn. Peace
I still cry every time I see a video of her. She was a force of nature. So glad I had to chance to see her 3 times in Memphis, TN. The last time was this past September 2016.
One of my favorite vids of "all time"!..Dap Kings "Yeah"!...Sharon Jones..RIP baby girl, RIP.🥺🥺❤️🙏
Must be thousands of people in Paris kicking themselves for missing this!
I like how Prince waited for Ms. Jones to call him over to solo....he waited...respected HER stage...then she said ''Come on Prince''!!! Then he very quickly did his thang! Amazing.
What a talent we loss!! Both of them!😢
You know you the shit when Prince come up on stage with his back turned during your set😊😊I need my wish I could of seen this amazing women live before she passed….😢
That's what was so great about Prince. His love and support for artist that play great music.
Even Prince had to get his groove on with Sharon and the band's funky sound!!
I can dig it too!
Rest in Heaven, Ms. Sharon and Prince :(
cornelia jones ...and Charles Bradley 👼🏾🎤💗

No! She died too?!
I know, right?! Maybe they are jamming somewhere. I hope so.
How do you know they're in heaven?
This was epic 👏👏
God, she was so great. Saw her several times, up close. A force of nature. So badly missed.
Very very glad someone actually caught this on video!!
I saw Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings about half a doz times in Australia and they were the best funk/soul band I've ever seen without exception!
R.I.P Ms Sharon Jones you were the best and we miss you.
Embarassed to say this is the first time I've ever seen Sharon Jones - she is phenomenal! That band's pretty tight too!

I choose to believe that Prince and Sharon Jones will be performing a legendary late night jam session tonight.
They're performing a special concert for The Leonard. With David on guitar...
Let's not forget Leon Russell on piano, and Glenn Fry on guitar as well. R.I.P. to all the guys and dolls of the entertainment world who've passed to the other during 2016.
And Chuck Berry

Sharon Jones sets my heart on fire and Prince makes me get up and dance all over the place, these 2 should have made a whole record together....

sale année pour la musique... RIP Sharon, j'ai la chance d'avoir été présente ce jour là ! quelle artiste !
That woman was a natural wonder.
Watching this was the best time I've had in ages - and I was just sat at my desk eating a sandwich.
Ha that is awesome comment!
Well get out and catch a show. :-)
Angel Emerald i have! NYC club she rocked the house down, it was spectacular! ;)
There's UK dates coming up later in the summer. I'm on it like a car bonnet!

Til my dying day I will always love and respect Prince Rodgers Nelson. He was always so gracious. Even though he was the bigger star. It was always abt talent for him. I Sharon was like Prince shooting stars that gave fans true joy. I thank you both from bottom of my heart.
You know you've arrived when you have "PRINCE" play for you on stage!!!!
Amazing. Prince was an awesome sideman. He could jump in and play anything.
Rest in Peace to you Soulful Sister Sharon. Your funk lives on for eternity ~ Thank you ~
I saw her do this at the Playboy Jazz festival a few years before she died it was phenomenal... Forever rest in peace Ms. Jones!!!
Ms. Sharon Jones was a tremendous talent who will be sorely missed. She and Prince departed this earthly realm in 2016, but left a wonderful legacy of their music for future generations to enjoy.
The Prince has left the building NOW the party is officially over.......
BUT perhaps the party has just began.
They would have wanted it that way. The show must go on
It brought tears to my eyes after the great music to think that they’re both gone.
Rest in peace soul sista …. You took a piece of my heart
I came for the Prince and I stayed for the Queen. Thanks for posting this. What a beautiful moment for everyone onstage and off.
Really good of prince to tip his hat to the great lady in this way. Glad it was captured on video. Immortalised forever
I was there!!! And all was magic! The sky looked like heaven this day, in this moment! Thanks Sharon, but most of all thanks Prince! for showed me this woman and 4 all the things through my life!
Damn this is awesome!!! RIP Miss Sharon Jones RIP Prince. Enough already, 2016.
In The New World, I want Sharon and Prince in my band :)
I'm glad that in all of time and space these two amazing people got to share one stage.
Onions watching these legends! Sooooooooooo good !!!
Whoa!!!!! did he just sneak on and sneak off love it!!!

Excellent performance. Great energy
Wow, That was a fantastic performance. RIP Sharon Jones. Truly a phenomenal talent to be able to dance AND sing with so much intensity when so many younger performers would lip sync. Then there was Prince. Another phenomenal talent lost to us in this shitty 2016.

After seeing this I can die happy. Thank you. Legend meets legend.
Prince is like batman showing up kicking ass and leaving like nothing happened
yes!!
Yeah..Prince.
The way He walks off the stage was ...OMG ! My Hero Has IT All 💜💜💜
Shiiit! I wish I'd thought of this comment first 🤣🦇🦇🦇🦇
Prince supported many artists that had been forgotten, I remember Mint Condition said Prince took them all over the world.
She's like a Tina Turner FOR US!!! (because we weren't there in the 60's)
FANTASTIC!
Not if you’re old like me! I was there for both! 🙏🏼♥️🕊
and she was Funky like James Brown too!!!
the sound of dope music lured Prince from his secret lair.
That was so fire 🔥 Sharon and Prince!
Wow.....Just wow!!! RIP Prince and Sharon Heaven's choir has 2 more angels...
I was exhausted just watching this! RIP Sharon and Prince.
What a year of loss 2016 has been. Fortunately we have recordings of amazing talents like Sharon Jones and Prince to get us by. RIP to both shining lights.
Wow, an amazing show, rest in peace Sharon Jones and Prince. . . . amazing footage.
What a performance.
Band is so tight.
They learned that tightness from the Amazing James Brown Band of the late 60's.......if you haven't heard it....Please check out James Brown Live at the Apollo 2 1968 (recorded in 1967) and you gotta listen to the whole show.....The James Brown band at that time..on the whole planet no one could touch!!

And Prince ... a good evening.
I don"t know how or what brought me here, but thanks to the circumstances. Cheers
Rest well Ms. Sharon...you were truly a treasure.

You are something else....under rated and unsung. RIP .....see you on the other side.
Stunning.......soooo groovy......and Sharon moves like a 20 year old! With the soul and grit of maturity...love it
Hey, age is just a number.
I love Sharon Jones and the DAP Kings.....it was good to see Prince with them...
This lady is exciting! And the band is great! Prince just came and tied everything together.
Never heard of this lady, but I'm glad I checked out this video. First impression was "her horn players are getting it" (they had some foot work going on there). Then, when she was breaking down some of these old dances, I was impressed. Looked like a good show.
