Born
Sharon Jones sang backing vocals for years without a solo contract, working as a corrections officer at Rikers Island and an armoured-car guard. She made her first record at forty and fronted Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, whose raw, live-sounding soul albums earned a Grammy nomination and helped spark a retro-soul revival before her death in 2016.
