“What Have You Done?”
Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens
From the Daptone CD What Have You Done, My Brother (2009)

The design of the album cover and the sound of the song shout Seventies gospel soul, but make no mistake: “What Have You Done?” is a 2009 release on Daptone Records. It’s from the debut album What Have You Done, My Brother, by the New York-based Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens.
Shelton honed her craft in an Alabama church, but became a popular soul singer in New York clubs. This, her first gospel album, was released on May 26, 2009.
A pointed finger at wrongdoers, “What Have You Done” showcases Shelton’s soul and gospel sides, with ample support by the Gospel Queens. About.com called the album one of the new/noteworthy releases for May, 2009.
Amazon.com has been giving the track away for free. Go to “What Have You Done” for yours. If you are hard-core old-school and want the full Seventies experience, not to worry: Daptone has your back. It issued a 7-inch single on the song.

All I have to say is WOW! Clearly there is a market for gospel singing in the old fashion and Daptone has found out about it. Not simply modern traditional, but full blown vintage style. Perhaps we’ll see some new gospel releases recorded not only in the 70s style as Shelton and the Gospel Queens have done, but maybe, just maybe we’ll get new releases done in the golden era style reminiscent of groups like The Davis Sisters, The Roberta Martin Singers and The Caravans among others. I’m crossing my fingers!
