100 days, 100 nights to know a man’s heart
100 days, 100 nights to know a man’s heart
And a little more before he knows his own
You know a man can tell apart
of the same, just so long
for a day come, when his true,
his true self and all, yes it does
he may be mellow, he may be kind
treat you good all the time
but there’s something just beyond
what he’s told
100 days, 100 nights to know a man’s heart
100 days, 100 nights to know a man’s heart
and a little more before he knows his own
Wait a minute
maybe I need it to slow it down,
take my time...
Hmmm, I had a man (100 days)
tell me things (100 nights)
oh made me feel (100 days)
just like a queen (100 nights)
and I thought (100 days)
he was the one (100 nights)
I would hope, oh yes I did (100 days)
but one day, I looked around (100 nights)
that old man was nowhere to be found (100 days)
100 days for his heart (100 nights)
to unfold, (100 days)
100 days (100 nights)
100 nights (100 days)
to know a man’s heart (100 nights)
100 days, 100 nights to know a man’s heart (100 days)
and a little more before he knows his own
(100 days 100 nights 100 days 100 days 100 nights)
100 days, 100 nights to know a man’s heart
And a little more before he knows his own
You know a man can tell apart
of the same, just so long
for a day come, when his true,
his true self and all, yes it does

| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: Apr 05, 2013 - 08:03 They are so terrific! Would you believe, they couldn't get a company to sign them? Better for them, they formed their own company and make the music that they want to make. Saw them in person, and they were fantastic, and the little old lady that opened for them was amazing. |
| jonno_norton | Posted: Apr 02, 2013 - 13:28 What a great track from such an amazing modern artist. Nobody sounds like this anymore, you gotta hand it to Sharon Jones for holding true to a solid sound in today's autotune-drenched, music environment. |

| desertbecca (North of Paris of the Piedmont) | Posted: Aug 28, 2012 - 11:28 Fantastic, just fantastic. Best band ever to see live. Ms. Jones is amazing |
| LPCity (Salt Lake City, Utah) | Posted: Jun 26, 2012 - 15:13 Great Stuff! My wife and I saw Sharon and the Dap Kings last summer; great show, tight band, and very high energy and vocals from Miss Sharon. |
| ziakut (Right Here) | Posted: Jun 26, 2012 - 15:08 Good example of something I'd so much rather hear live than hear here. Here x2. Oh well...you get my drift. ![]() |

| ScottN (Condo in Gaza full time now. Thank TFSM I saw the divot where the landmine was placed.) | Posted: Dec 29, 2011 - 16:52 Don't do an Amy Winehouse on us, Sharon. Very enjoyable. |

| prickelpit96 (Where the grass is green and the ball is round, meet me in the stand behind the goal.) | Posted: Apr 08, 2011 - 00:00 I rated this outstanding some years ago......still a favourite to me! |
| cupajoe (Delaware) | Posted: Dec 09, 2010 - 06:54 I am going to see Miss Jones and the Dap-Kings in January! Yay me. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Dec 09, 2010 - 06:46 Terrific classic soul - driving backbeat, brassy voice, melancholy lyrics. What's not to like? 8 from the Nottingham jury. |
| slr242 (San Francisco) | Posted: Sep 04, 2010 - 23:39 A good track from a fantastic band. Second coming of the James Brown Revue. And then some. If you ever get the chance to see these cats live, don't pass it up. Absolutely amazing live. |

Very cool stuff. Winehouse used their studio to record Back to Black because, if I recall, the studio's entirely analog and renders that warm, fuzzy '60s sound. Thanks for pointing out the errors. Also, the Dap-tones featured prominently on that "Back to Black" album, as well as on Marc Ronson's "Version", etc. Many artists want to bask in their Dap-dippin' coolness |

| cc_rider (Austin Texas. Y'all.) | Posted: Feb 26, 2010 - 08:17 Sharon Jones appeared on SNL with Michael Buble. When I first heard they were on together I thought WTF, but they cooked pretty well together. Sharon Jones is the real deal, baby. Edit: I fixed my screw-up. Thanks Scott! |
| jadewahoo (Beautiful Earth) | Posted: Dec 25, 2009 - 10:47 I am really digging this. |
| djaychicago | Posted: Oct 23, 2009 - 15:12 The real thing - luv it! If I ever have a chance to catch her live, I won't pass it up. |
| vivakitty (The Girl Who Wrecks Your Dreams) | Posted: Feb 12, 2009 - 16:08 If you catch the rerun of their turn on Austin City Limits, you'll see Sharon Jones can GET DOWN. |

And a pretty ho-hum trick, at that. This singer and group are NOT a one-trick pony. I don't know what's been rejected on LRC, but one of my favourites is "How Do You Let a Good Man Down?" from "Naturally". Great vocals to very funky/soul music. A very tight-playing band, with echoes from Stevie Wonder, Fela Kuti, and perhaps some James Brown. Fan-tas-tic tune. We want more! Yeah don't listen to that Excelsior guy, everybody else here is learning not to, he's a waste of everybody's bandwidth! Nothing better to do than hang out on internet forums slagging bands and the station off, presumably trying to get a rise out of their fans. I agree, Sharon Jones and her band are wonderful live and when I saw them the entire set was solid and fantastic to dance to. |
| tirednotion (Hi-Fi) | Posted: Dec 11, 2008 - 09:31 Caught Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings live last week... they tore it up in impressive fashion. She is a little firecracker up there, and incredibly interactive with the crowd - bringing fans up to sing with her on multiple occasions. The band was huge and very very good. Catch them live if you can! Oh, and she was super friendly after the show signing CD's and the very fitting Vinyl LP's they were selling there. Had to pick it up for a spin on the ol' record player. |
| Rendergirl (windy city) | Posted: Dec 11, 2008 - 09:28 oh yeah..... |
| lily34 (lexvegas) | Posted: Dec 11, 2008 - 09:25 just listened to this in my car this morning. yeah, man. |
