I just watched a doc of the Yonge St musi scene in Toronto - amazing! Jackie Shane was an incredible member of such a bevy of talented Canadians. I did think it unfortunate that they didn't have much information on him, saying simply that he drifted into obscurity and not much if anything is known of his life. Can someone shed some light in this area, please? Shane was terrific
Wow Gerry, you definately got me on this one. This is soul and how it was back then and guess what it still sounds great today. Jackie was a true performer who could grace the stage with any of the top performers of the "soul scene". We need to find out what happened to this legendary artist. But for now, and because of your offerings, we still have him, thanks.
Thanks for posting...Jackie's performance here is absolutely amazing...I never liked this until I LISTENED to it ! Musicians put down a good funk groove..
I just dicovered Jackie Shane recently!!
Wish I'd be around back in the day to see a show!
What an amazing voice.
