    Sass Jordan

    Sarah "Sass" Jordan, singer, songwriter, actor (born 23 December 1960 in Birmingham, England; died 2 October 2026). A dynamic singer with a sultry, prototypical blues-rock rasp, Sass Jordan had a string of hit songs and platinum-selling albums in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Juno Award-winner was a critical darling for her gritty, soul- and blues-infused rock ‘n’ roll — often drawing comparisons to Janis Joplin and Tina Turner. But waning commercial success brought about an image change that did not play to her strengths. She regained prominence in Canada as a judge on the popular CTV series Canadian Idol (2003–08).
