Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings – Don’t Wanna Lose You b/w Don’t Give a Friend a Number (Daptone US) 7″

Two unreleased sides from the late Queen of modern soul, and her Dap-Kings.

Recorded during the sessions for Soul Of A Woman and penned by sax stalwart and Daptone co-founder Neal Sugarman, “Don’t Wanna Lose You” is a heavy slice of soul sophistication teeming with groove and vibe.

“Don’t Give a Friend a Number” is a haunting, R&B tinged mover whose eerie background vocals provide the perfect backdrop.
