Give the People What They Want, the fifth studio album from Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, came out on Daptone on January 14, 2014, and it's another dose of the band's full-tilt revival of mid-'60s to mid-'70s soul and funk. The Dap-Kings, Daptone's house band, were the same crew who'd backed Amy Winehouse on Back to Black, and they play like a well-oiled machine with a little grease left on it on purpose.
Jones sings like she's got something to prove and plenty to spare, and "Stranger To My Happiness" is a keeper. It earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Jones died in 2016, which makes records like this one feel all the more precious.
