	Musicians - Jeanette McGruder

Jeanette Mcgruder, (8th November, 1954 - ?) is a singer.

As a child, McGruder discovered a natural ability to sing. Taught by her stepmother, she joined a female trio called "New Dawn" which would perform at nightclubs, and one black panther rally. During her schooling, McGruder played violin with Earl Klugh in a group called the "Electrifying Strings". Occasional performances at United Sound Studios for Motown Records earned McGruder $20 a piece. McGruder opted against pursuing a career as a violinist, instead majoring in voice at Michigan University. McGruder performed with P-Funk, Brides Of Funkenstein, Lynn Mabry & Dawn Silva. In 1979 she recorded with Silva and Sheila Horne on "Never Buy Texas From A Cowboy".

Jeanette McGruder changed her professional name to Satori Shakoor in mid-1980s and became a comedienne and sketch actress on Canadian show "Thick and Thin."
