Musician Coaching: You founded Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and the Daptone Label and have been able to sell thousands and thousands of records and tour the world – how did you get to this point? GR: I think it was probably a little luck, just like with anyone else. Mostly I think I was in a unique situation because I was not that interested in being part of the music industry. I think ...

The idea was that because Major Labels are such a large companies with lots of cash, they would of course someday secure the rights to the songs, just not now, they’re too busy suing single mothers. Therefore what the labels would do is put...
