Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story with Michael Mabbott, Director, Producer, Writer & Lucah Rosenberg-Lee, Director and Writer

Do you free to live your life and be the person you were meant to be?Hear Jackie Shane sing once and you’ll never forget it. Yet, after shattering barriers as one of pop music’s first Black trans performers, this trail-blazing icon vanished from the spotlight at the height of her fame. From modest beginnings in Nashville, Shane soon recognized her talents and, in her late teens, made her way to Boston and Montreal, working the nightclub circuit while taking the stage with Frank Motley, a musician known for playing two trumpets at once. Her arrival in Toronto during its 1960s music explosion made her a highly sought-after headlining act who seemed destined to take her place among the R&B stars of the era. Blending her music with never-released phone conversations and soulful animated re-enactments, Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story brings Shane back to life in her own words, finally providing the recognition she so rightly deserves and introducing her to a generation fighting for their right to be their true selves.In this episode, I sit down with Michael Mabbott, Director, Producer, Writer, and Editor, Lucah Rosenberg-Lee, Director and Writer to talk about Jackie’s incredible talent, tragic life, and death.ubscribe to Janette’s TV YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdAy9sY71BPZBiMrLI2rvnw Janette’s TV Podcast – https://www.janetteburke.com/watch-listen JTV YouTube LIVE Short – Season 2 Playlist -  JTV Instagram LIVE Short Series – Season 1 YouTube Playlist – Janette’s TV & Podcast Supplemental – Janette’s Take On… Michael Mabbotthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Mabbott Lucah Rosenberg-Leehttps://www.vice.com/en/article/yvx5qy/this-is-what-life-is-like-for-a-black-trans-man Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Storyhttps://hotdocs.ca/whats-on/hot-docs-festival/films/2024/jackie-shane-storyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Any_Other_Way:_The_Jackie_Shane_Story HOTDOCShttps://hotdocs.ca/Sponsor Spotlight Package 2 Levels – www.janetteburke.com/SponsorSpotlightPackage Interview Showcase Package – 2 Levels  – www.janetteburke.com/InterviewShowcasePackage MC/Speaking – www.janetteburke.com/SpeakingandMedia On-Camera Media Training -  www.janetteburke.com/On-CameraTraining Janette’s TV & Janette’s TV Podcast Merch - https://www.janetteburke.com/shop Support the showSign up to become a member of Janette's TV Youtube Channel!https://www.youtube.com/@JanettesTV/videos
