“Tell her that I’m happy. Tell her that I’m gay. Tell her that I wouldn’t have it any other way.” From invitations to perform across the US and Canada, at the precipice of huge fame and undoubted success, 1960s R&B soul singer Jackie Shane disappeared from the spotlight. But why? With an outsize stage presence that eclipsed even the greatest R&B artists, trans soul singer Jackie Shane shattered barriers with raw talent, courage and an unbreakable commitment to truth. Through never-before-heard phone conversations, dazzling animation and an incredible soundtrack, the full scope of her extraordinary life and career is finally revealed in this remarkable portrait.
