"Jackie" is the debut single and signature song from Australian pop singer Joanne, who released from her debut album "Do Not Disturb" during the fourth quarter of 1998.

The song is a cover version originally sung by the British band Blue Zone. It was written by Steinberg/Kelly. This dance-based single is about Joanne falling head over heels in love with a guy named Jackie who she is obsessed with, as she proclaims "Jack Jack Jackie".

"Jackie" has also been covered by bands; Red Zone and Zone 2.

Joanne's breakout hit

Blue Zone were the original band that recorded the song Jackie in the 80's. Thus, at the time of the release of Jackie in 1998, it was given the name B.Z. featuring Joanne. B.Z. of course standing for Blue Zone, who recorded the original version of Jackie. Due to this, Jackie was featured as a trial run to see how well it could cope in the charts. Jackie debuted at #3 on the ARIA Single Charts in 1999 and spent over 30 weeks in the Top 50.

In 2001, Joanne performed with Getaway's/Australia's Dancing On Ice Jules Lund (at the time Jules was FoxFm's 15 Days of Fame competition winner). They recorded their version of Jackie which Joanne herself thought it was hilarious and the funniest thing she has ever done.

This song can often be heard early sunday morning in the red room of isobar.

Following this part of the video, Joanne appears in several dance segments in different outfits, the key segment is when she is with her two backup dancers in which they all do the signature dance moves to "Jackie".
