Jackie Shane’s important contributions to soul music and LGBTQ heritage will finally be officially recognized with a historical marker in Nashville on Friday evening.
Hers is the most unconventional of success stories, but Jackie Shane wouldn’t have had it any other way. Once nearly lost to obscurity, Shane’s important contributions to soul music and LGBTQ heritage will finally be officially recognized with a historical marker in her hometown of Nashville on Friday evening. The memorial is especially significant for its setting in the capital of Tennessee, where trans rights have recently been targeted.
” Shane had also agreed to appear in the documentary “Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story,” directed by Michael Mabbott and Lucah Rosenberg-Lee and executive produced by fellow Canadian Elliot Page. “I just couldn’t believe that this extraordinary music had been made in my hometown of Toronto by a Black trans woman in the 1960s, and I hadn’t heard it before,” Mabbott said of his first encounter with Shane’s recordings.
