This was the beginning of the eighties and I remember having the tape at the time aged 16 , it was like , ok this is another level , I wasn’t wrong , I knew it would never age and it hasn’t
I saw GJ in concert June(?) early 80's in Houston TX @ the old(now torn down ) Music Hall.. She was fricking fantastic.. Wore stiletto heels with microphones build into the tip's of the heels. As she walked /climbed onto big black boxes - stacked into a staircase - her heel mics synced with the drum beats. She slayed the audience. I saw her another time in a parking lot of a gay bar (then Heaven ) ..she still rocked it. She IS on ANOTHER level.... " feeling like a woman looking like a man...." that sums it ALL up...
Looking like a woman … feeling like a man … Trip the light fantastic… Timeless still resonates 35 years after my first discovery of Grace Merci mr Jones grace Jones
That line blew me away, aged 13. I still hear it , and live it. There were very few female role models who lived like I wanted to be, back then. Her whole lifes work is timeless, the music, her image, attitude. I was a child and seeing her being interviewed and herself, rejecting the polite obedient , predictable woman guest role, on TV. People thought she was shocking! It was cool for men to be anarchic or rocknroll, but if a woman did it, Wow!! people shat themselves! I recognised that it was pure fear, in their reaction to Grace. And I fell in love with her for being so purely herself and unafraid.
i was a Supervisor at a taxi company .... Grace talked to me about a cab that had been covered in lipstick, I wasn't there but the driver was very annoyed. Grace was very charming
If anyone deserves a giant statue outside every museum of modern art on Earth, that's Grace Jones!!!
She's a goddess. She's always mesmerized me💋

Check out the original by Flash and the Pan (from Australia). It’s as good as this cover.

Sly and Robbie, the perfect rhythm section.
Perfect bassline... :)

Brilliant song , written and first performed by Flash in the Pan creators , Aussies Vanda and Young .

With Sly+ Robbie on the rhythm section, it can only produce great music.
You are "Badass" and a mad talented icon Ms. Jones
You transitioned effortlessly from the disco era, "Do or Die" to the 80's.
Can you believe the brother of ACDC lead singer wrote and sang this song. Group called FLASH AND THE PAN .
What a woman ❤
