Description:
This Daptone double-sider showcases Sharon Jones’s versatility as both a powerhouse vocalist and emotional storyteller. “I’m Not Gonna Cry” channels classic Southern deep soul — slow-burning, heartbreak-laden, and full of gospel fire. Jones’s vocal delivery recalls Aretha Franklin and Ann Peebles, blending strength with vulnerability.

Flip side “Money Don’t Make The Man” brings pure funk grit — a groove-driven statement about authenticity and self-worth. Backed by The Dap-Kings’ precise rhythm section and horn charts, the song reflects the group’s mission: reviving the moral and musical integrity of vintage soul for the 21st century.

These recordings helped establish Sharon Jones as the Queen of the modern funk-soul movement, reaffirming that timeless music never truly disappears.
