Jeanette McGruder (born November 8, 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.

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".

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