However, what’s really raised the Dap-Kings’ profile has been their work on Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black , and specifically the ubiquitous single “Rehab.” Since then, the band, as a whole or in part, have received offers to work with Al Green, Boyz II Men, and even Bob Dylan. Jones speaks with total approval of the band’s outside work, noting that some media outlets have tried to incite a feud with Winehouse.
Instead, she speaks of the young Brit in almost motherly tones, expressing concern over allegations of a serious drug problem that has affected Winehouse’s performing ability. “If it hadn’t been for Amy, no one would be watching me — no MTV News , because they came to ask me questions about her,” Jones says. “I won’t say anything bad about her, but honestly, what she’s been doing lately has been worrying me.
I regret now when I was in my 20s and I did cocaine for a while. When you get off stage and you want to get into something, that’s up to you. But when you’re on that stage, that’s business, and you don’t mix business with pleasure.
I will never go on stage high or drunk or slurring my words. That don’t make sense to me. I get high off the band and the audience.
