    this two disc collection of the transgender icon and soul singer is an airtight thrill of her best performances .Disk 1 is the stronger of the two compiled of original studio recordings that show of Jackie's ear for groove and pop. Title track (which appears twice on the album) is also her biggest song commercially, for good reason, it's a smooth melodic soul highlight! ''comin' down'' isthis two disc collection of the transgender icon and soul singer is an airtight thrill of her best performances .Disk 1 is the stronger of the two compiled of original studio recordings that show of Jackie's ear for groove and pop. Title track (which appears twice on the album) is also her biggest song commercially, for good reason, it's a smooth melodic soul highlight! ''comin' down'' is a close second for best song on this record with its hard horns ,Jackie at her roughest its a rockier side we could only dream to hear more of. Disk 2 is compiled of well done live performances that showcase the Canadians effortless stage presence. Overall this box set is an amazing monument to an underrated queer trailblazer who dared to be herself so publicly and let her talent speak for itself… Expand

    This double-disc retrospective includes an illustrated, 82-page hardcover book that tells her story, all six of her singles and an expanded version of her sole LP, a live album that captures her ferocious charisma and impassioned, gravelly voice on familiar R&B hits like "Money," "High Heel Sneakers" and "Shotgun." [No. 149, p.61]

    Even if her catalog was small, the 25 tracks on this set won’t likely leave anyone wanting.

    Shot through with seemingly innate bravado and the experience of a childhood spent near the pulpit, Shane had a pitch-perfect sense of when to stir up the dance floor, when to bring things down, and when to bring them up again.
