Daptone Records has put out a number of good acts. But according the critic, they fail because they are “white” musicians (working with older black singers).
Of course, when they later backed up Amy Winehouse, they became “respectable” because they started to approach chart success, I guess according to his logic.
I prefer the unfiltered version.

And why the heck should I have to listen to 7-second samples from James Brown records in modern hip hop “grooves” when I can just listen to the full original recordings?
Nah, Slate understands that Daptone Records is an NPR fav.
The R in DORF stands for Retro. And Sharon Jones is Retro.
Also this section. “It is tempting to expand the DORF formula to “DWORF” to encompass NPR’s blanket coverage of white soul revivalists from the U.K. But that subject merits a separate study.”
Amy Winehouse is a white soul revivalist.
