Jackie Shane - Money (Live at the Sapphire Toronto)

This was recorded 'way back in 1968 when recording equipment — especially for 'live' recordings wasn't all that great.

The guys from Caravan Records showed up at the bar with an Ampex mono tape system and a few mics, so if the sound isn't up to day's standards, you'll understand why.

But this might just bring back a few memories, especially for those of you who happened to catch this incredible performer.

"Chicken"? -The word has a special definition in gay-lingo,& probably had the same meaning in the '60s too,& it's certainly not the same meaning as "chick". Besides his brave determination to be himself,appearance-wise,onstag­e,don 't tell me Jackie was making coded sex confessions to the audience too! But it's hard not to admire him, not just for his obvious talent, but for his unapologetic, unstifled expression of himself as he was,unafraid to challenge early '60s

conservative mores.

I went to the Sapphire when I was underage, too much make-up and fake id to see Jackie Shane, I had all of his music on 45's, I still love him wish he was still around to give us first class entertainment

I'm very grateful for the CVBC radio program I listened to tonight - it's been bugging me for years trying to remember the name of the great entertainer we went to see at the Sapphire sometime in the 60's.

Hi GL,

I enjoyed the CBC radio program, and made my way here...

Never heard of Shane before -- fascinating story.

Best to you!

Oh, those good old days. Sock it to me, baby!

Another example of how RnB was back then. The rawness only helped the talent shine through. The fancy equipment of today only masks the lack of talent and energy of modern artists. Just listen to Jackie and you'll realize he didn't need any of that to thrill his audiences.

Great stuff!

Sounds like Jackie had quite the following in the 60's.
