Jackie was offered an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show but dressed as a man. The offer was rejected.

Amazing - and sad - to think that this is the only visual record we have of her singing. Amazing artist. There is a great new documentary out about her which I saw yesterday. Highly recommend.

3 white guys in back having a hard time synchronising lol

I bet you a billion dollar Prince saw this on TV when he was little

i think the artist who used to be known as prince is her son?

Sapphire Tavern was alive with live band performances late 60's best sound of Toronto's times Jackie Shane's performances were en point with James Brown/Little Richard for that era - I'll never forget her shows! RIP Miss jackie

She's a man?

As good as ever 😊❤🎉

rock n roll 🫰🫰🫰❤️‍🔥🌱

Saw her many times at the Coalbin on Yonge in the 60s

Is she trans woman ?

THAT MAN IS BURING IN HELL IF HE LEFT THE WORLD BEING DEFIANT TO WHO GOD MADE HIM. HE WAS A MAN NOT A WOMAN. HE WAS UNDER A SATANIC SPELL OF DELUSION. GOD MADE HIM A MAN HE WANTED A LIFESTLE OF LUST AND PERVERSION AND AWAY FROM THE GOD OF HEAVEN. GOD MAKES NO ONE GAY BECUAE HE MAKES NO MISTAKES. IF HE MADE A MAN THEN THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE.

THEY PROMOTE ANYTHING THAT IS GAY

Thank you for posting this. I am happy that more people are learning about her genius. He music is the heart of rock and roll.

I just found out about her and I wish I would have found out about her sooner 😢

Great Version.

New to this singer today

10,000 times better than the Stones version ❤❤

Great R&B. I bet her music was played on WLAC in Nashville. John R way down south in Dixie.

Sooo Jackie was the first to do it then Sylvester in that order my first time hearing Jackie was few days ago they really lit up this song

Had never heard of her before lastnight, at a documentary film festival showing of "Any Other Way". Im now a big fan!

Part Prince with a cup of Little Richard, and a spoonful of James Brown.

Beautiful love the energy ❣️😍❣️

She's amazing

My grandfather told me a story of seeing her perform while he took my grandmother on one of his business trips up north. After the performance my meemaw had a chance to see her briefly in passing. “You sure can sing, ma’am!” my grandmother shouted. She said she never saw someone smile so big after that in her life.

Not the best version at all. She's not very good compared to other "sisters".

Jackie Shane was being played in the basements of my black friends in 1960’s. We danced to great R&B artists most white kids never heard about. I was lucky my parents never said no to a party invite from the “wrong side” of town. To my mom & dad we were kids dancing, drinking cokes and having a good time, and just maybe our friendships would change the world. We are all still friends some 50 years later, still dancing just not in basements, assisted living homes today.

I just learned about Jackie yesterday. I regret I never saw her perform. I understand she had some huge challenges in her life but I hope she is smiling down on us knowing she helped breakdown some barriers. RIP sweet lady.

Bring back black music. Soul!!

Great performance 💪 remembering Rufus Thomas very soul 🔥

Dummheit einfach nur Dummheit das Geld hättest auch spenden können

Amazing.

When America was still cool

I did not know about this version! I thought Rufus Thomas was first! And for some reason she seems like she have walked a dog 😉

Tolles Video von euch.

Thank you 🎶👍🎶...Thank You Lord ✝️ for the Tingles 🙏❤✝️

When I started playing in a rock band in 1966, EVERY band did a cover of this song. I never knew who did the original though!!!

Some serious style

Never heard of her until an episode of Poker Face! 🎉

In very loving memory of Mrs. Jackie Shane (1940 - 2019 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).

It didn't matter to us what sexual preference a performer/entertainer chose. I do know one thing, Jackie Shane was a male, a drag queen. We didn't care. But it seems that the present generation is so pre-occupied with who is what. Here is a 2011 article I found online: Little Jackie Shane Live from the Sapphire Tavern, Toronto, In the 1960s, Toronto the Good was one of a few places on Earth where a young, black drag queen soul singer could become a nightclub headliner and recording artist. From Jerry Lincoln's liner notes for this R&B gem: What are Jackie's likes and dislikes? Well, you know Jackie likes "chicken". Even where food is concerned Jackie likes chicken. The only problem is when Jackie suggests, "Let's go out and get some chicken after the show", you can't be too sure what he has in mind.' It wasn't stopping at Chick-fil-A.

And long live FInkelman's 45s!!!

Hey Dap-Kings! A cover of this song would hit the spot!

From a Nashville TV show "Night Train"

She looks and sounds like she could have been the parent of Terrence Trent D'Arby 💯💯💯

Could you make a more detailed video about the flash and how it works?

This is brilliant! So happy I have discovered this precious jewel.Jackie shane is a trailblazer and has stamped themselves in history especially in Canada.

At the Sapphire Tavern, great music.

IMO THIS is the best version.

saw her so often on the Yonge Street strip here in Toronto. wonderful performer, courageous groundbreaker
