@@kyachdistent1301 how right you are, a quantity of gems were there in plein sight, but the majority loved trash. I think 1984 was the year rubbish took over. By the way this is a superlative cover from Roxy Music - Brian Ferry 1975 and yes, I was there.
@@paolo3087 Yep, but I wouldn't say 1984. Granted slagdonna, worst plague of the world allowed to appear and stay, but that bas**** from hell began it's evil dominion truly by 1985, also Pete Waterman's scourge on music appeared, so between these two, no wonder things went truly south by 1988 (the year we could all tell we were in trouble). In all fairness though, there was crap around every year of the 80s but it never took over. Plenty of good people making records in 1984, with some cool ones still not appearing yet, but many of the best are always making albums and songs that get little attention from the mainstream. The so-called Top 40 of TOTP is not a proper representation of proper music of the 80s, nor is any radio station when it pretends to cater for it. 1984 brought us Alphaville, one of the best acts around, but as Germans, never given a fair crack of the whip, same with Sandra for the next year. 1990 was the year it became clear music had died. Then when things didn't so much as change or even stay the awful same when the millennium came but got even WORSE, well. It's no wonder we all go back to live our lives audibly in the past music-wise.
In the late 90s, I attended one of her shows in SF. Afterward, I had the privilage of dancing with her most of the remainder of the night. I even got a kiss goodnight! 😀
Awesome Stuff. I went to her concert in 2009 and she let people (about 50) on the stage during pull up to the bumper. I did star jumps behind her while she was singing. Very exciting.
At the end of the show 2 giant cannons on the stage shot out multi coloured confetti so I scooped as much as I could up and I've still got it in a shoebox at home. I LOVE HER TOO
This is the version of Love is the Drug that came out in 1985 on the Island Life album. The video accompanied it and MTV played it late nights late '85, early '86. She was still ahead of her time and my appreciation for her has grown through the years.
Daniel Latham I think Gaga is a reliable substitute, but reliable isn't what you should try to be if you're a musician trying to do "art pop". Bowie, Kate Bush and Grace Jones kind went in a much less linear direction. I don't dislike Gaga, but I would rather Jones to her.
Miss Grace Jones, you are a cultural icon of music, fashion, style, attitude and I've admired you since the beginning. Thank you for shining your light onto the world. OOOX
One of the most influential, trendsetting and creative artists of all time, there is nobody quite like Grace Jones. Along with Madonna, she remains one of the greatest female icons in music history. This video is her best! It shows off her craziness!
+Jimmy Stinky exactly. Madonna has a hell of a hollow career. People like Grace Jones, Kate Bush, Björk, PJ Harvey, Cyndi Lauper, Sinéad O'Connor got a lot more to offer, in a very artistic way.
She was extremely way ahead of her time.Hard to believe this song and video is from 1980,right at heal of the disco era.This could easily be from 84 and 85,very talented and versatile woman and innovative.
If you caught a live performance by Grace Jones in the early 1980s, you literally entered the future. She put a performance together that was a mix of fashion show, dub music, performance art, and live vocals. Every song had a different set, different look, and visual effect. Of course, it helped she had some of the best musicians money could buy on her recorded instrumental track, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare. And, for good measure, Chris Blackwell did his mixing magic. Grace Jones was underrated then and is surely way underrated now. You can't overstate her influence on her contemporaries at the time.

This is absolutely amazing!!!!...tha tandem of Ms Jones & Jean Paul Goude did a wonderful and inspiring job...this version is of the early 80's, the video include footage from 'A one man show'...so I wonder why It says 1986 at the end.
Grace Jones recorded "Love Is the Drug" on her Warm Leatherette album from 1980. The track was released as the second single, following "A Rolling Stone" in the UK while it was the first single to be released in Germany. After failing to chart in 1980, a remix of the Grace Jones version was released in 1986 following the 1985 compilation Island Life and then became a minor hit in the UK, peaking at no. 35.
SIMPLY AWESOME...WAY..WAY..WAY BEFORE ANY OTHER ARTISTS..GENIUS.... IN A CLASS OF HER OWN and as for the ART WORK what can one sey it’s down to the fine details that makes any “ TING “ she does is far superior to any other artists and without compromising her Muzikal Genius she is truly from another universe.. Simply put THERE IS ONLY ONE GRACE JONES..GODDESSES
Roxy Music's original is an absolute masterpiece, IMO, and yet...I love that Grace's wholly irreverent cover version was made, because it's a completely different piece of music with its own narcotic thrust...
yes she was ahead of her time it's why I lived her sooooo much and she inspired someone today...now you know where Lady Gaga gets a her crazy look from...GRACE baby!!!! she dared to he different and she told the world...kiss my ass I am who I am I love this woman!!!!
This was a Great song from a great album and Artist... I played this LP ( yes not CD or Mp3 or Stream) I never saw this video and hard to believe it was made back then. I had Grace in my Face!!!!
I was led here by a comment from Bryan Ferry himself in an interview. He was asked about what remake of one of his songs was the best. Now I have to say(being somewhat unfamiliar with Grace Jones) at first I wondered if I was just listening to it because I'm a big fan of Bryans and value his opinion on music. However I concluded that it is as good a rendition as it is different from Roxys original. Every now and then I like to get my Roxy on and enjoy discovering new things Roxy. Today is one of those days..........
Grace jones wasn’t ahead of her time she was the future and we are still not ready
Truth!!
@@eddiebrooks3294 I saw her back then. I was ready.
THAT is for fuck sure.
Truth
I saw her back in the 90's in LA, and she still fucking owned it!
What a fearsomely talented woman. Frightening and alluring at the same time. She's like a piece of architecture.
WELL SAID!!!

Very good description!
This song is a treasure. Sounds so modern that I can hardly believe it was released in 1980.
@@Darrigrande Este es el remix del 86 con un sonido NRG & Synthpop.
El original de 1980 es Funk.
art on another level
Yes, is true... This video has a bit of pop art, impressionism, cubism, abstract, is a small piece of contemporary

THAT'S WHY SHE IS IN A CLASS OF HER OWN..ORIGINAL...JAMAICAN QUEEN..
She is!
MSK absolutely
This is an underrated MASTERPIECE!!! Shame on the Internet culture for ignoring this.

Despite all of today's computer visualization technologies, musicians and producers were much more creative in those years.

I know right, gaga is unoriginal as shit.
Stephen Junius How is she unoriginal? Lol...
Googlize1 It's not so much that she's just unoriginal, it's more that she's tired, reductive, faddish, and finished.

A masterstroke on this one. The fact that she was a ROXY MUSIC fan made me love her even more. VIVA!
one of the best music videos, ever. Grace In Your Face.

Pretty cool song from back in the day seems like a golden era ❤
Grace and Jean-Paul changed the pop culture forever. This is what it means to become an ICON. This silhouette is and will always be unforgettable
Even by today's standards, this music video is really inventive.
T'ain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T'ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what's in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I'm thinking of
Oh oh can't you see
Love is the drug for me
Gosh, I haven't listened to Grace in ages! Can't believe she's 75!! And sounds as good as she always did. ❤❤
🎇Grace Jones is creative, impactful and inspiring🎇
Grace Jones and her performance art are first rate.
This song hits me different the level of creativity and talent that has never been replicated.

I remember this , first time watched this as a kid , I was actually scared. How ironic cause I love this video and the music, love you GRACE JONES
The song and music video and her voice are timeless. There is no age to any of it. It is perfect!
These collages, the sculptures of her, the frenetic editing...This is so great.
This video is pure art!
Still watching in 2020 just amazed!! This woman lives and breathes art. She was truly ahead of her time, we're still not ready!
Ain't that the truth!!!
Grace was way ahead of her time.
Absolutely
Absolutely
Lol you guys realize this is a cover, right?
I feel blessed that I am alive on this planet while this living God still walks the earth.
Si no hubiese existido, a esta gran mujer, habría que haberla inventado. Grande en todo!!!!
Probably one of the best early 80's club music tracks. You can imagine being wired on cocaine and dancing to this at Danceteria at 2am

Why do u need drugs just fucking dance.

I saw her on stage back in the late 90s LA, and she still fucking owned it! It will be a truly sad day on this planet when this fine lady passes.
I love Grace Jone's music... amazing Artist!
Her style is superb! Amazing in every aspect.
I've never heard her version before. She takes it and turns it into something else completely. And it's good! :D
So ahead of our times, clothes, videos...style and android woman to Ferry s contents. You are my queen Grace

Exactly
Grace Jones' videos concept art design is simply superb.
Legendary music, still nice to hear. Cool
That was amazing.... better than alot of what's passed around as art today.
gawd why y´all styled like how we grew up ?
Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry tune. Love this version. The video tends to put me in mind of my acid daze in the 70's.
Wow that's perfect
It's 2021 and this is still next generation futuristic!!
This song and video made me a fan of Grace Jones 4 years ago.
Grace and Kate Bush are the queens of the 80s imo
Agreed 🤝
Could you imagine a duet? 🥰😍😍
joe a I agree. Ms. Bush was highly underrated
I agree but imo I would add a third name to the list, that being Annie Lennox.
@@robertstirman1736 Literally don't think I've ever seen someone call Kate Bush underrated.
Like me she's a living work of art!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!!! XOXO
This video deserves way more credit.
Masterpiece
Toda mi admiración para Grace Jones
Grace Jones es un original no la copia o el clon de otra. Es única e irrepetible.
Graces Jones haciendo este cover es lo más! Muy buena voz, y buenos arreglos musicales del tema de Brian Ferry
I melt just by listening her voice. She's my drug.
Grace Jones is a Force..the most original and sophisticated talent ever
Esta canción se merece muchos aplausos, es muy buena.
Greace Jones es una adelantada a su tiempo. Si uno piensa que esta grabación es de los 80, pero suena como si la hubieran grabado ayer.
My fav
👑 Grace 👑
Great video
I can't listen to this song or watch this video while shaving! Can't keep my eyes off the video for one and the beat is too good to sit still!!!!
Love her take on this song
Honestly, her versions of other artists’ songs are always better than the original, which are already amazing, but she’s on another plane of existence
It's definitely a cool version, but it's not better than the original.
I agree.
rubbish!
Roxy music kings of English music 😎👍
very good cover, but no way better than the original....
She is a beast❤️‼️💯
Grace, like Cher, will be around until life ceases to exist...
Love me some Bryan Ferry, but I gotta give this one to Grace. She really turned this song
on its head and made it into her own.
Yeah! Great music! Thank You!
True that and we need the love drug now all over this world! SHALOM
vaya que poderosa tiene la voz grace,,una gran interprete
This is what the world really looked like and felt like in the 1980's. It was a wonderful time.
THANK you Miss Grace Jones
