Stupid 2016. She was way too young to go.

Saw her in 2006 at Kings in Raleigh when they didn't have AC which 0% impinged on the Dap Kings performance. She gave me a hug afterwards when I thanked her for the performance. Such energy. Such a talent. She will be missed.

There's a video of her playing in Paris. It is billed as Prince playing a cameo with the Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. He actually only plays for a minute or so, but SJ totally steals the show.
