You know Sharon Jones? We lost loads of musical geniality in David Bowie, Prince and George Michael last year; we also lost Sharon Jones, singer with the Dap Kings. She was a female James Brown, a hundred percent soul power, overflowing with life energy, coming from a poor family, never giving up her honesty in whatever situation.<\/p>\n<p>She was told to be <em>\u2018too fat, too black, too short and too old\u2019<\/em> to be accepted in the music business. She decided to live her own truth till she passed away last November. This documentary film is about how she lived her love and truth during her last few years, from the moment she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. For me this woman is an example of living her truth and an a huge inspiration for me to live my own\u2026<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/201418002\"><em>Please, click here to meet Miss Sharon Jones!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a lot going on about truth nowadays and in all ages.
