Sharon Jones has an incredibly rich and noteworthy voice. She lays down tracks that sound like a cross between one of the best jazz bands you have ever heard, a soul group and a 1960's-style Motown group. There isn't a sour note to be found on this album, and every song on this album is strong."Retreat" -As she belts out the lyrics to "Retreat," Ms. Jones' voice is tinged with the enjoyment and satisfaction she would feel putting the man in his place. As incredible as her voice is, when she hits the high notes, she does so with class, her powerful voice fully supported by every musician's best friend, a strong diaphragm. (If you're not familiar with the reference, the diaphragm is the muscle below your lungs that allows you to project your voice) The saxophone countermelody and the echoing refrains of "Retreat" from the group add to the fun, giving the song a party atmosphere. The lyrics and the music make this a song of retribution "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." You have, indeed, been warned!"Stranger to My Happiness" starts out with sound effects that resemble the sounds you'd hear from an alien spaceship. A strong bass sax line starts up, and the song takes off. The "alien" sound effects and the frequent repetition of "mystery" create the illusion that the singer doesn't know or understand how this man has such strong power over her, making her do things that are against her better judgment.The song, "We Get Along" is a soft song with a strong message on the importance of trying to get along with other people. The message starts on a personal level, and is expanded out to the world at large with a touching verse about war.The rest of the album lives up to the high standards set by the first three songs on the album. Each song is interesting in its own right, and for different reasons. Don't hesitate. Just treat yourself buy this album. I did, and it's incredible! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feel like I have waited a long time for someone like this *by on Reviewed in the United States June 8, 2014* Wow a friend introduced me to Sharon Jones and immediately I just fell in love with her voice and vitality. We went to see her and she blew me away. She is so complex in that she is old school, new school, soul, rnb, and just plain Sharon. The Dap Kings were awesome, and her backing singers are amazing. This lady is pushing 60 and has the energy of someone half her age and twice her height (she is less than 5 feet tall). She has this following of young people that is unique and one fan at her concert told me she had changed her life. She is that charismatic! I bought the vinyl and regular cd. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sheer Soul Pleasure *by on Reviewed in the United States November 4, 2014* I was torn between giving this CD 4 or 5 stars, but in the end I realized that there simply were no weaknesses to be found on this album; no weak songs and certainly no lack of effort from the dynamic Sharon Jones. Simply put: this is sheer soul pleasure.If you've been a fan of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings' other fine albums --- and they are all worthwhile --- I think that getting this one qualifies as a no-brainer. You know what to expect and the songs don't disappoint. Songs with deep hooks, punctuated by the vibrant horn section, and Sharon's emotional vocals stirring the pot. Really, soul fans are lucky to have someone who shows their retro soul roots so proudly, and does it all so well.Sharon Jones and her band are first class all the way. If you are fan of the golden era of 1970s soul, or just like dynamic R&B music, don't miss this one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/2455910-give-the-people-what-they-want](https://www.desertcart.be/products/2455910-give-the-people-what-they-want) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
