The Dap-Kings were a funk / soul revivalist band who recorded in a ten-year period from 1996 until 2006, before Jones herself gained late career success with a Grammy-nominated R'n'B album in 2014, sadly having little time to enjoy her breakthrough when succumbing to cancer in 2016 at the age of 60.
One for you fact-fans out there: the Dap-Kings featured the wonderfully-monikered Binky Griptite (real name Franklin D. Stribling - I kid ye not!) who made a famous appearance here on the 7th Calendar back in the good old days of 2013.
