February 17, 2005

Having been born in Augusta, Georgia, the same town as the legendary James Brown, it should be no suprise that she's known to many as the "Queen of Funk". Sharon Jones brought the Daptones Record house band, the Dap Kings, into the Current studios to perform two songs.

Songs: "How Long Do I Have To Wait For You" and "This Land is Your Land"
