The soul singer was known for her high-energy performances with her band the Dap-Kings; some had even called her the "female James Brown."

Prior to leading the Dap-Kings, she worked as a prison guard at New York City's Rikers Island and often joked that the inmates didn't think she could make it in the tough setting -- she was 4-foot-11 and too nice, she said in an appearance earlier this year on NPR's quiz show, "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me."
Jones was recently featured in a documentary on Starz called Miss Sharon Jones! It debuted in 2015 at the Toronto International Film Festival and followed her ascendant career and her battle against cancer.
Before hitting career strides, Jones struggled to break into the music industry. She started off singing in her church choir and in wedding bands, but when doors weren't opening, she took on a job as a corrections officer.
"They said I was too fat, too black, too short and too old and look at me now," she said in Miss Sharon Jones!
Her death shocked many of her fans who took to social media to express their grief.
