Best Songs of 2007: No. 14

'Nobody's Baby,' Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings

Amy Winehouse isn't the only name in soul synonymous with the year 2007. Jones unleashed this lo-fi highlight of her ever-blossoming career, with the instrumental backing of New York's retro-soul maestros the Dap-Kings. This horn-heavy jam, layered with a plush melody to go with its ruggedness and purist analog recording aesthetic, is Jones' finest moment, with this former prison guard reminding the world that, at 51, age ain't nothing but a number.
