WATCH: The untold story of the singer who queered soul music in the '60s, then disappeared -...

A contemporary of icons like Little Richard and Etta James, R&B/soul singer Jackie Shane left an indelible mark on the music scene in the ’60s—and then disappeared for nearly half a century.

Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Shane couldn’t stay away from the stage. A naturally gifted singer and percussionist, her presence as a performer quickly garnered attention—not to mention her penchant for wearing high-femme looks, adorned with long hair, jewelry, and makeup.
