Jackie Shane - In My Tenement

This was Jackie Shane's follow-up hit after the success of "Any Other Way."

This single too, was re-released in the late sixties, due to popular demand.

I'm not sure why or how, but somehow Sue Records either lost or damaged their master tape so a new master was made from a 45 RPM that I picked up in Buffalo and gave to our guy in Toronto, so if the fidelity is not totally up to par, you'll understand why.

If only we'd had Adobe Audition back then!

so is Jackie dead or alive? This one should be on Hollywood mysteries....

what an awesome talent........and i want him to still be around to recoupe his

accolades...

[GerryLincoln]

@emb1st Jackie is alive and well and has been made aware of his many fans' concern for his well-being. He thanks everyone for the love expressed here and elsewhere throughout the Internet.

However, at this time he does not wish to re-enter public life.

I hope he can be convinced to "come out" again as it were.

I heard this song once when I was 15 and didn't hear the artist I looked in specialty record stores in NY but could never find it I only knew the time it came out because Marvin Gaye's "Pride and Joy" was played at the same time I thought I'd never find it but the internet and in particular youtube make anything available Thanks for the posting

[Cleftonefan]

Thanks for that documentary, Elaine. And thanks for bringing Jackie's name and voice to new fans.

Excellente chanson d'un type fort courageux de dévoiler son orientation sexuelle.Just love that song.

[jor99912]

I Loved this song! And I thought ANY OTHER WAY, was Jackie's song!

Didn't know about Chuck Jackson's at that time!

[elamite66]

I heard this song one time on NY radio I knew the time because I remembered that Marvin Gaye's Pride and Joy was out at the same time some time later a year or two I didn't know the artist and I went to the three stores in NY that had huge stocks of old 45s but nobody could tell me anything I finally found it on the internet and it's obvious that the powers that shut down napster and limewire may have won some battles but the war is lost Thank God!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for all your efforts

[IrishEy1]
