Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings I'm Not Gonna Cry / Money Don't Make The Man Daptone Records

Take this, you knuckleheads! Sharon Jones is NOT going to cry. No sir, she and the Dap-Kings are coming hard and strong as ever. No balladeering for the candle-light crowd this time. The Spirit of The Godfather is alive and sweating in this one. The A-side is a syncopated Funk workout ala 1972 Bobby Byrd, with an intro/bridge figure that will knock your tits off. The B-side is a Grunt-style instrumental of the same theme with The Sugarman tearing the melody mercilessly out of the tenor saxophone as if it owed him money
