Daptone Records has shared a new video of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings covering “There Was A Time” by James Brown at The Apollo Theater in 2014. The performance by the late singer at the famed NYC venue is set to appear on The Daptone Super Soul Revue LIVE at the Apollo triple LP, out on October 1st.

Recorded at The Apollo over December 4th—6th, 2014, The Daptone Super Soul Revue captures the magic of Daptone artists as they fill the sacred space of the iconic Harlem venue. One of the most electrifying performers from the three-night run was Jones & the Dap-Kings, showcased in this fitting tribute to The Hardest Working Man In Show Business who himself played the Apollo over 200 times.

With one of the tightest bands ever assembled in the Dap-Kings, Jones gets ready to dance to the track off Brown’s 1968 album  I Can’t Stand Myself When You Touch Me, however, she prefaces it by saying she’s “gonna do it my way, not James Brown way.” Throughout the course of the song, Jones puts on a dance clinic in honor of the Godfather of Soul, teaching audiences the Camel Walk, The Pony, and The Tighten Up (though the Dap-Kings could not possibly get any tighter).

“I may not do my dance as tight as Mr. Brown but you can bet you ain’t seen nothing yet until I do my best,” Jones says before she leaves it all on the stage and walks off as the band plays on.

Also featured on the Daptone Super Soul Revue are Naomi SheltonAntibalasThe Budos BandMenahan Street BandSugarman 3Saun & Starr, and the Como Mamas. The physical release comes with a 48-page booklet featuring on-stage and backstage photos taken at the Apollo by Isaac Sterling and Jacob Blickenstaff.
