Jackie Shane - Any Other Way

Besides being a powerhouse soul singer and riveting stage presence, Jackie was a transgender-rights trailblazer, born a man but unabashedly living her entire life as a woman. Her first artist-approved anthology includes all her 45s plus highlights from a storied 1967 live session at the Sapphire Tavern including three unissued songs. A 20,000-word essay-featuring Jackie's first communication with the public in nearly 50 years-joins "Sticks and Stones," "Any Other Way," "In My Tenement," "Comin' Down," "Send Me Some Lovin'," live versions of "Knock on Wood," "Raindrops," "Shotgun" and more. 21 tracks on the two vinyl LPs, 25 on the 2 CDs! Numero Group.
