THE DAPTONE SUPER SOUL REVUE: LIVE! AT THE APOLLO [2-CD Set]

6 Replies

I was both saddened and elated while listening to this concert CD. The major stars, Sharon Jones and Charles Bradley, died; Sharon Jones in 2016 and Charles Bradley in 2017. But, we have this wonderful new album to enjoy and remember how great they were.

Performed and recorded over three nights in front of a sold out crowd at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, NY (December 4th – 6th, 2014), this album brings electrifying performances featuring live sets from Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Charles Bradley and his Extraordinaires, Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens, Antibalas, The Budos Band, Menahan Street Band, Saun & Starr, The Sugarman 3, as well as em-cee, Binky Griptite. There’s a nice mix of Soul Classics and new music to delight your ears!

If you love Soul Music, you’re going to love this 2-CD set full of great songs and high-voltage music. And, it would make a wonderful Holiday Present for that Soul Music enthusiast on your Gift List. GRADE: A

    George, an album I think you will love is An Evening with Silk Sonic by Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak. The singer and the rapper recreate a 70s soul band and it’s very listenable.

      Jeff, great minds think alike! I read a review of AN EVENING WITH SILK SONIC in the WALL STREET JOURNAL and immediately ordered the CD. It’s near the top of the LISTEN TO REAL SOON stack!
