Jackie Shane tells her life story posthumously in new documentary
A year before her death in 2019, Jackie Shane decided it was finally time to tell her life story. The trailblazing transgender soul singer was a mystery ever since vanishing from the spotlight in 1971 after dominating the Toronto music scene throughout the 1960s. For decades following her retirement, the Nashville-born artist lived in obscurity until a 2017 retrospective album, which earned a Grammy nod, catapulted her back into public attention.
