Audio: Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings “Longer & Stronger”

While you are reflecting on where hip-hop came from, let us get into some more rainy-day soul from Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. As the title suggests, this track “Longer & Stronger” (from the For Colored Girls OST) has both muscle AND shoals–and is just a taste of a new compilation they are dropping in October, which collects b-sides, bonus tracks, soundtrack appearances and one brand new song (they’re not giving that one away, sorry) into one soulful 12-track package called Soul Time! Listen below and get the tracklist after the jump.
