100 days, 100 nights to know a man's heart
100 days, 100 nights to know a man's heart
And a little more before he knows his own
You know a man can tell apart
of the same, just so long
for a day come, when his true,
his true self and all, yes it does
he may be mellow, he may be kind
treat you good all the time
but there's something just beyond
what he's told
100 days, 100 nights to know a man's heart
100 days, 100 nights to know a man's heart
and a little more before he knows his own
Wait a minute
maybe I need it to slow it down,
take my time...
Hmmm, I had a man (100 days)
tell me things (100 nights)
oh made me feel (100 days)
just like a queen (100 nights)
and I thought (100 days)
he was the one (100 nights)
I would hope, oh yes I did (100 days)
but one day, I looked around (100 nights)
that old man was nowhere to be found (100 days)
100 days for his heart (100 nights)
to unfold, (100 days)
100 days (100 nights)

Boy, I miss you, Sharon. I miss your voice, energy and positive disposition.
There was a very good documentary done on her in 2015.
Just made me like her even more.
RIP gone way too soon

I saw Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings at the NO Jazz Fest. I just walked into the Gospel Tent to cool off and there they were heating things up again. If that were the last band I ever saw that would be ok. They were amazing and I am so happy I got the opportunity to see them.

I feel like this song has not been in the regular rotation for a while. This is the first time I've heard it on RadioParadise. it's hot!

Beautiful!
RIP Sharon; a soaring voice taken way too soon.
Definitely NEED more Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings. Let her rip!!
If you go to the BBC radio 'sounds' player (1,2, 3 or 4) you might notice that the volume goes up to 11 - another broadcaster who knows how to please!
This gets the volume it deserves!!

Awesome duet performance w/ Sharon and Tedeschi Trucks Band:

Oooh, that was one heck of a smooth segue from the Pink Panther Theme to this. Well done!
Smooth segue aside, Sharon Jones is superb. Saw her live at our local Jazz Fest a couple years ago, excellent show.

Coming into this from Mancini and Pink Panther theme...genius mixing there Bill👍. First time hearing this and it’s pretty good
I’ve seen her live many times in Brooklyn. She’s the female version of James Brown. Silly good. Electric

i like her sound, a modern take on 50's/60's soul/blues. Not seen her live but if you like this check out Eli 'Paperboy' Reed, he and his band are fantastic live. Charles Bradley is another getting plaudits and some guy in a hat, Gregory porter?

Bill probably does this song no favors by pairing it with The Spinners. That lush Gamble-Huff production puts the spotlight on the Faux in this Faux-retro stuff. I'd like to hear what Sharon Jones could do without the trickery.

Hope you are dealing well with the cancer treatments Sharon and hope to see you in concert again this next summer.
Saw her on Live from Daryl's House and really liked her and her music. Let's hope she can beat the cancer and get back on stage soon.

Love it!
Get well soon, Sharon Jones!

why only this one song by her? I like it, and would like to hear others...
They are so terrific! Would you believe, they couldn't get a company to sign them? Better for them, they formed their own company and make the music that they want to make.
Saw them in person, and they were fantastic, and the little old lady that opened for them was amazing.

What a great track from such an amazing modern artist. Nobody sounds like this anymore, you gotta hand it to Sharon Jones for holding true to a solid sound in today's autotune-drenched, music environment.
SXSW playlist? it's mad here in ATX
Lotta truth to this one!! ;)
That's Numberwang!
love this song. but yeah, nothing better than seeing her and them live!!!

Fantastic, just fantastic. Best band ever to see live. Ms. Jones is amazing
Great Stuff!
My wife and I saw Sharon and the Dap Kings last summer; great show, tight band, and very high energy and vocals from Miss Sharon.

Yeah... that was a good idea. Marry an emotional chick with a degree in communication. That way, even if I do win the argument, I still lose... Ah well, she's worth it.

I rated this outstanding some years ago......still a favourite to me!
I am going to see Miss Jones and the Dap-Kings in January!
Yay me.
Yay me.
Terrific classic soul - driving backbeat, brassy voice, melancholy lyrics. What's not to like? 8 from the Nottingham jury.
A good track from a fantastic band. Second coming of the James Brown Revue. And then some. If you ever get the chance to see these cats live, don't pass it up. Absolutely amazing live.

Also, the Dap-tones featured prominently on that "Back to Black" album, as well as on Marc Ronson's "Version", etc.

Sharon Jones appeared on SNL with Michael Buble. When I first heard they were on together I thought WTF, but they cooked pretty well together. Sharon Jones is the real deal, baby.
Edit: I fixed my screw-up. Thanks Scott!

If you catch the rerun of their turn on Austin City Limits, you'll see Sharon Jones can GET DOWN.

I don't know what's been rejected on LRC, but one of my favourites is "How Do You Let a Good Man Down?" from "Naturally".
Great vocals to very funky/soul music. A very tight-playing band, with echoes from Stevie Wonder, Fela Kuti, and perhaps some James Brown. Fan-tas-tic tune.

Caught Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings live last week... they tore it up in impressive fashion. She is a little firecracker up there, and incredibly interactive with the crowd - bringing fans up to sing with her on multiple occasions. The band was huge and very very good.
Catch them live if you can!
Oh, and she was super friendly after the show signing CD's and the very fitting Vinyl LP's they were selling there. Had to pick it up for a spin on the ol' record player.

Just an FYI as an extra bonus when you buy this disc, you get Binki Griptide's GhettoFunkPowerHour show! A whole other disc with a mix of songs from DapTone Records' artists. Really sweet. I highly recommend this album, just great blues/funk grooves with excellent vocals from Ms. Jones.

Dap Kings? Do they wear daps then?
Daps: UK Westcountry term for old-style gym shoes, known elsewhere as plimsolls or pumps. Not so commonly seen these days with the rise of trainers (Americaish: sneakers).
As in the expression "They's me daps, mind!"
Oh yes, the song:
