The song is 42 years old and was not considered a commercial success.
Decades later, JOAN JETT's fans are loving the deep cuts.
On Tuesday, the iconic rocker, 66, took to Instagram to share a video of her singing "Coney Island Whitefish" in Las Vegas, noting that the song's album - aptly named 'Album' - was released on this day in 1983.
The video was presumably taken from one of the June nights she played at the House of Blues in Las Vegas as part of her many concert dates this year, leading to fans to hope that they'll hear the song in an upcoming show.
"Love that you're playing this!! Please play it in Detroit," one commenter requested, while another said, "I'm so happy you did this song in Vegas. I love you @joanjett. Can't wait to see you in concert again !!!"
And another called the song a "vintage gem," adding that it's "so awesome that this is getting played out live!!!"
Other fans came to the comments to express their love for the "Bad Reputation" singer, with several calling her an "inspiration."
"You're my inspiration, Joan! If we girls rock it's all because you showed us how.
It's an honor to follow you," one fan wrote.
"Love you so much Joan been a huge fan since I was 6 years old you're a huge inspiration for me you've broken so many glass ceilings for women in rock keep doing what your doing you rock!!" another added.
Jett has a slew of concerts lined up through the rest of this year, including shows with fellow rock icon Billy Idol.
