Tom 1960 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 It sounds treatable. Thinking positive thoughts. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/jun/04/singer-sharon-jones-diagnosed-cancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I keep thinking that's the same cancer that got the Doors' Ray Manzarek recently. Let's hope this is a different situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I've heard that, too, Val. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertoart Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 So all hoping that everything health wise will be fine..... but in Australia, the 'Soul Music gatekeepers' are a bit sniffy about Sharon Jones musically. We often get a lot of classic era performers out here like Bettye Lavette. One of our Soul dj's said Bettye Lavette was the artist Sharon Jones 'wished' she was?

Van Basten II Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Saw her before she became really big in a small place, less than 500 places in the early 2000 . too young to see the previouis generation of soul singers , she gave us a hell of a catch up ride that night. RIP Sharon. What a miserable year that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Sharon. What a miserable year that was. She played a 200 people club in Santa Barbara only a few years ago but then returned to play the 5000 seat SB Bowl a bit later on a double bill IIRC with the Tedeschi-Trucks Band. A great evening of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) I saw her a couple of times in 2010. This shot was at Stubb's BBQ in Austin during SXSW. RIP, Miss Jones. Edited November 20, 2016 by BFrank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesnik Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Terrific news. I discovered her in the mid-2000s and have listened to her since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six string Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 This one hurts, deep. I missed her change in her diagnosis from gallbladder ca, pretty rare, to the less rare but more deadly pancreatic ca. Few people win that battle. I never made it to one of her shows, something I'll always regret. R.I.P. Princess of Soul. If Aretha is still queen, Sharon is at least a princess.
