I hadn't even considered this but you're spot on.
And you have the addition of Charles Bradley and Lee Fields (of whom Sharon was previously a backer).
Similar to how Mary J Blige and Maxwell heralded the 90's resurgence of R&B.

Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings \ Daptone Records
I was well into Northern Soul\Deep cuts, etc by the mid 00s and rarely finding anything from new artists in the same vein. Wasn't until I heard my first Sharon Jones track that I truly became aware of the burgeoning Retro or Neo Soul movement that they were clearly the front runners of. They inspired the formation of other collectives in order to release records and form groups.
