“She has the most beautiful voice,” he said.

At the show’s rehearsal earlier in the day, Leno said, “Everyone stopped what they were doing” to listen to her sing.

Jackie's new CD debuted last week at the top of the Billboard charts. In the last few weeks, she has been busy with numerous appearances in the United States and in England.

As Jackie sang, the ‘Tonight Show’ orchestra and back-up chorus added to the beauty of the song.

Although Jackie’s appearance was less than five minutes, she still wowed the audience as well as Leno, Dawson and Anthony, who joined her after the song with their own applause and hugs.

Part of the joy of watching Jackie sing is her own apparent joy in performing. After her performance, her smile was a mile wide as she clapped for her supporting musicians and the audience.
