You are so lucky to have her in your life. What a treasure , what an inspiration and what fierceness!!! Such a sassy lady I loved watching her in interviews. Was she really that intimidating woman that she appeared to be???
@Craig Clampitt, what actually happened? (A) Did Grace Jones intimidate you as a kid OR (B) Did you, as a kid, feel intimidated when you saw her? There is a huge, huge, huge difference. You can call the police about A; for B, you call mommy or daddy. Get it straight.
@@efester Nope. Just prefer to see people take responsibility for their feelings rather than projecting causes onto others. Would have saved most indigenous populations a lot of misery.
And Beautiful Her sense of song, La Vie en Rose, Private life. Edith Piaf, Chrissie Hynde Nightclubbing, so great then she does Slave to the Rhythm. Well Boy Howdy We've got a legend here. ruclips.net/video/epqdGN5vHYg/видео.html
35 years ago I saw her and was fascinated! I thought she was so beautiful and at 8 yrs old I wanted to be like her...confident, bold, and unique 💗 If you're reading this Grace, thank you for inspiring a little white girl from VA to grow up to be herself no matter what anyone else said.
Do you by any chance remember "killing Me softly" by Roberta flack? I still love it, and it's still a classic George Michaels "One More Try" Sinead O'Connor Billy Jean Sarah Smile Hall, Oats Kiss Purple Rain It's just so crazy that the classics can be 40 yrs and Still be Timeless. Gracie's Bother sent me an old photo of him and George Michaels In New York, B4 I was born..
You caught it too. 😏 I saw this video when it originally came out and watched it several times on MTV. I've watched it every few months since it was available on RUclips - tonight was the first time I noticed her dancing like James Brown. 🤦♂️ I had to rewind the video three times to confirm what my eyes have known for the last 41 years.
I’m here March 29, 2024. I saw Grace in 1980 in Boston and she was amazing! She autographed my jean jacket in pen after the show! Swear to God, true story!
I fucking adore this woman… when Slave to the Rhythm came out, I was a teen, found her art, her style, and her music fascinating! She just embodied coolness… as I have grown older and discovered more of her work, well, I have just become a huge fan. This is one of my favorites and I just recently found it on vinyl at a yard sale… almost in perfect condition… y’all know what’s going down in my living room right now😂😂😂
The 814 people that gave this a thumbs down are the lamest of the lame. Grace Jones is the ultimate queen. 👑👑👑 I saw her perform at 70 years old and she could have been mistaken for 25. Out of this world amazing!
Bryn B what a honor. At 70 she looked 25... GRACE JONES IS THE ULTIMATE DOMINANT JAMAICAN QUEENGODDESS. I KNOW GRACE SHOWED UP TO SHOW OUT. I KNOW YOU HAD A BALL. YOU GO GIRL
It is really a song about cars...and traffic .....LOL!!!!! .the lady who wrote this song (one of the writers)said that she was driving into a garage (I think)and she saw a sign that said those words ...
This was ground breaking for it's time. Sexy, suggestive and danceable. Grace was a trend setter...fashion,,stage presence,..and brand image. I remember that my local station didn't catch onto the double meaning until someone hipped them to it....then they stooped playing it because it was deemed "nasty......how the world have changed.
Joyfully heal the willing savages Agreed with most, but it's not the so-called African features *(she's a born and raised, western Jamaican), it's the make up. She looks feminine without that style of makeup.
...and before Cher became outrageous there was Labelle, and well before Labelle there was Josephine Baker, and before Josephine Baker there was somebody. We could on and on with this non sense! Every generation seeks to push the envelope and that includes women no less than men... of every culture why does everything have to be a competition?
She had a fade foreal yeah!!! I just noticed that now. Back then i was just tripped out on her look with the short hair cut. But it was a clean fade!!! Late 80s-early 90s Hip-Hop took it!!!
"Scary" lies in the eyes of the cowardly beholder. I think Grace is one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen. At a time when so many like her with unique short coily hair tried/try to straighten and lengthen it by any means available to look like someone they are not, she worked with what she was gifted--beautiful skin and hair--and used both in a stereotype-defying way. She was no slave to the stereotypic rhythm.
The production on this is staggering. Its such a weird and interesting sounding record. That beat is slightly out yet it works. Nothing conventional about this at all. And provably why on a Saturday night in 2020 I'm watching videos of music nearly 40 years ago. And it still sounds incredible.
before Disney ate NYC ,....back in the day,..this Woman Grace Jones was just as gritty and funky as the city was back in the 70s and 80s...................I miss THAT NYC.............. Thanks Grace for making the great music for NYC xoxoxo
you can tell how good she was by the fact that all her early stuff has not dated ...her image and style is still cool.....so many bands and artists from the past look crap now but not Grace Jones she is timeless , classic...like Bowie.
Funny story....I had a friend that booked her, he was a DJ....he picked her up in a limo, and he was driving her to her hotel....he was so enamored, that he kept looking at her through mirror.....She noticed.... Said what you looking at.....I'm going to rip out your heart and eat it.... hahaha... Maybe she would have....Don't know
Actually, Lady Gaga ripped off Dale Bozzio. But the majesty of Grace Jones still stands...she's like a cross between Bowie and Bambaataa, or what if Queen Nefertiti was a pop singer. Came here after listening to 'Nipple to the Bottle', such strong lyrics.
Gaga is all hype/no talent or style.. she tries so hard it's just embarrassing. Grace Jones, on the other hand,is just a natural - she exudes style and powerful sex appeal and has produced timeless music.
What’s the point of comparing two artists? Ok they both performing but they have different way, style and subjects to express, they’re both great and people appreciated them for their talent and their impact, besides Lady Gaga never said anything bad about other artists, but she is giving her everything on stage and people enjoying it, music is not competition, it’s enjoy and living the moment. (P.S. Lady Gaga doesn’t need to prove her talent, her awards, Grammys and oscars talks for her, 40 years later we are going to watch her videos and lives saying “music nowadays are nothing like 2010’s”
She will always be legendary. Her voice, her bravery, the originality, all immortal,! . . A reborn greek ir roman goddess., Complete and terrifically gifted! Beautiful too..a goddess.
Have you noticed that most of the major innuendo songs of the eighties were about cars? (Pink Cadillac by Bruce Springsteen, Little Red Corvette by Prince, etc etc)
Watching this today thinking of Damon Lewis and his wife Helen who sadly passed away today. Helen was a fantastic actress and will be sadly missed. This was there favourite song.
I am thinking of Damian and Helen too. Such a beautiful talented couple. So sad about Helen's loss. I would have loved to see Helen and Damian get funky dancing to their favourite song.
Thats why i am watching, my friend told me Helen was on Desert Island Discs talking about dancing with Damien Lewis to this song, so i thought i'd come listen.

Joseph Preston thats really cool that you're attracted to unconventional beauty and women like Grace who showed this world that women can be sexy in a completely different way
😂😂😂😂😂 I get it!! I was scared of her in conan... lol!!! It wasn't until I got older i was like..... dayum!!!! This lady is the bomb.com!!! I'm sure she would take that as a compliment!!!
A lot of people said Grace Jones was ahead of her time .. very true , back in the 80`s i never really liked miss Jones .. but now 30 odd years later i play her music and i like it !
In the late 80's and early 90's I used to wait tables at a breakfast place, and Grace Jones would come in all the time, even at 8AM while ordering an omelet she was as eccentric as ever, wearing amazing outfits and being her fabulous self.

Out of all the Grace Jones song, this is my penultimate favorite. Grace Jones, Nina Hagen, Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde and Siouxsie Sioux are all in a class by themselves.
Fell in love with her when she hit the scene: her statuesque figure, her sculpted looks, her hair cut, and of course her amazing voice. Haven't seen her for years.
Grace our Jamaican Queen. Best of Art. None better. Fashion, acting, artist, music, linguistics, human, none human good alien. Name the lot. Best at the craft. We have never seen anyone like Grace and will never see again.
WTF. I heard this song so many times before. I've never knew she was a singer or this was her. Any time I saw her in something from the 80's. I thought she was just a model making a cameo not that she was a singer.
There's a remix of her song by an artist named Petra and THAT'S the song that I know of. I didn't know that this song existed until now when I saw what I believed was a fake shirt on Amazon. It had the name of the song and Grace's picture.
Her original version of this song was first out in the summer of 1981 here in the UK,nearly a year after breaking the top 20 with her version of Private Life and I'm pretty sure not long after that infamous Russell Harty interview. The remixed version of this song became a bigger hit here in early 1986,the year after she appeared in the James Bond film A View to a Kill and had another hit with Slave to the Rhythm.
Most people are very afraid of those rare members of the species possessing both the brains and the guts to be themselves and not give a single f*ck about what any of those other people might think about it. Ridiculous? Yes. Dangerously dumb and deeply stupid, in fact. But quite common, sadly enough.
back in the 70s 80s early 90s she was scary because nobody was doing what she was doing..... (Grace Jones) was Katie Perry & Nicki Manaj before they were born
She always had her own style and good music love her this song will never get old the beat is everything will keep you moving pull up to the bumper 2022
Not only do I remember this song in clubs, but I fondly remember her acting in Conan: The Destroyer, James Bond and a whole host of other movies. Look her up on IMDB
...I met them outside the DNA Lounge one night back in the '80s... ...I lit her cigarette, she smiled and winked... ...that's my "brush with celebrity fame" story...
The gay website Towleroad just put forth the question, "Does Grace Jones have iconic ferocity?" If anyone at Towleroad had watched this video, why did it even bother to ask?
BEHOLD the Legend - The One and only, MAGNIFICENT Grace!!!! Simply WoW! ONLY "Super-Model" for ME...... Unique and NEVER Imitated - What an ORIGINAL, Vibrant, 'Living' Work of Art'.....Viva, Forever!!

What Grace Jones accomplished in the 80s with that look is amazing to me. I was just a kid back then, but she fascinated me.
you should listen to: Dоnna Summer - Oh Billy, Please (1984) 🌹
An extremely beautiful woman that scares the shit out of me
Joseph Preston thats really cool that you're attracted to unconventional beauty and women like Grace who showed this world that women can be sexy in a completely different way
bhutch731 how stupid. Why does she scare you. She looks fun and quirky to me. Maybe yo5ure afraid her high sharp cheekbones will cut you?
Come on. Scariness has always been part of her appeal.
😂😂😂😂😂 I get it!! I was scared of her in conan... lol!!! It wasn't until I got older i was like..... dayum!!!! This lady is the bomb.com!!! I'm sure she would take that as a compliment!!!
I saw her live at a dance party in Sydney many years ago, I was right in front of her. Beautiful but intense
Kwame Brown brought me here lol

A lot of people said Grace Jones was ahead of her time .. very true , back in the 80`s i never really liked miss Jones .. but now 30 odd years later i play her music and i like it !

This song is timeless. It wouldn't be out of place if it was released now in 2024.
you should listen to: Dоnna Summer - Oh Billy, Please (1984) 🌹
Next level production, can't say anything else about Grace's style that hasn't already been said. She's a one off❤️
I still admire and adore her as "the ultimate survivor of just being herself and let no one bring her spirit and herself down "!
In the late 80's and early 90's I used to wait tables at a breakfast place, and Grace Jones would come in all the time, even at 8AM while ordering an omelet she was as eccentric as ever, wearing amazing outfits and being her fabulous self.
Omg that's amazing!!!!! I am so jealous.
Grace Jones The Queen of cool.

HAPPY 69TH BIRTHDAY GRACE JONES (MAY 19, 2017)
Melody Sanger 71 today
She's an amazing performer!!
Performer l beg to differ she's an artist
*She was bad ass ahead of her time most beautiful black girl I've ever seen in my life!!*
Born Bred 113% Hollywood Local she is amazing,to be black and gay,she made it ok
Agreed
physically, she is the most beautiful human being I've ever seen in my life.
she is the ONLY reason I still watch Red Sonja 40 years later. all I can say is "YES M'AM".
This comment didn't age well.
the queen of androgyny glamor
It seems u need to have the body though to pull of these looks 😞
This song jumped in my head just now out of nowhere. My head is bobbing non-stop.
Listen to her nasty FART at 0:31 💨
This is one heck of a badass song.
you ain't kidding cutie! 💥
Just saw her at Afropunk in Brooklyn! Such a great performer...still so fit and energetic at 67!
No way!!!! 67? You have got to be kidding me!!!!!! She still ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!
black dont crack
I saw her in Hyde Park wearing nothing but a grass skirt, a selection of wigs and war paint! Amazing Grace indeed.
Patra did it better
A woman with her own agenda Grace is out cold and multi-talented. Her clothes was very futuristic and artsy Grace is that deal :-)
+Nakia Lindsey Yes very well said ;-)
One woman called her scary ....I am sorry but how ignorant can you be ........This woman had style so unique and bold how can one not admire that .
She's absolutely gorgeous. Queen
you should listen to: Donna Summer - Supernatural Lоvе (1984) 🌹
Out of all the Grace Jones song, this is my penultimate favorite. Grace Jones, Nina Hagen, Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde and Siouxsie Sioux are all in a class by themselves.
Libertango, Slave to the Rhythym, My Jamaican Guy. Libertango is the ultimate fave, folowed by the other two. The rest of her music is just fabulus
Penultimate? I think you mean perennial.
I stand....errr...I sit corrected. Thanks Kevin!
Arnold S… I'm in… Just love all of them..
Kevin Southam Perennial pertains to, continuous or reoccurring often regarding plants.. Penultimate means, 2nd to last. You're both wrong.
Grace Jones was Avant-garde before it was a thing!
The avant-garde movement rose up in the 60s with artists like Yoko Ono
I hope she lives to be 202 because she will be ahead of her time in 2050
lol I’m 57 and really heard these lyrics fir the first time. I was such an innocent back in the day.
THEY ALL WERE BACK IN THOSE DAYS. 😂😂😂
Grace Is Still The Queen of Disco. Younger women can learn from her.
Hello Carol, How are you doing?
such a beautiful, zany, spunky Jamaican woman and unique artist, I love her, she's Amazing Grace.
The queen of absolutely everything
❤ she owns and dictates her own realm .
Fell in love with her when she hit the scene: her statuesque figure, her sculpted looks, her hair cut, and of course her amazing voice. Haven't seen her for years.
Lady GaGa what? Nah! Grace Jones baby!
Thank you, Ruby Arboleda!
Why everyone compares Grace Jones to that Lady, whatever, thing???? They should not be in the same sentence!!!!
& DALE BOZIO. Gaga straight merked DALE!!!
@@itan96 that people should be banned from the Internet
Ruby please don't compare Lady Gaga to Grace Jones, So totally different in music ..
I love Grace jones. She so unique in her own beauty.
She is mesmerizing!!!
Grace our Jamaican Queen. Best of Art. None better. Fashion, acting, artist, music, linguistics, human, none human good alien. Name the lot. Best at the craft. We have never seen anyone like Grace and will never see again.
you should listen to: Donna Summer - Supernatural Love (1984) 🌹
WTF. I heard this song so many times before. I've never knew she was a singer or this was her.
Any time I saw her in something from the 80's. I thought she was just a model making a cameo not that she was a singer.
Before today's bitches, it was Madonna, before Madonna, it was Miss Grace Jones.
Me neither.
she was very different she had her own style she was so beautiful in her look and her voice is amazing love her music to bits.
There's a remix of her song by an artist named Petra and THAT'S the song that I know of. I didn't know that this song existed until now when I saw what I believed was a fake shirt on Amazon. It had the name of the song and Grace's picture.
Her original version of this song was first out in the summer of 1981 here in the UK,nearly a year after breaking the top 20 with her version of Private Life and I'm pretty sure not long after that infamous Russell Harty interview. The remixed version of this song became a bigger hit here in early 1986,the year after she appeared in the James Bond film A View to a Kill and had another hit with Slave to the Rhythm.
I love this bass groove.
Grace album
Bass by sly and Robbie Shakespeare.
Sly & Robbie ~ Grace's Jamaican spiritual bros
took 3 days to get that bassline out of my head...funky!
SooooGOOOOODDD
This has to be the most hilarious "cars as sexual metaphor" ever made.
The artestry in her videos was absolutely amazing.She was so ahead of her time!
Grace,girl the darker the berry the sweeter the juice..
listen to the lyrics the song is about SEX as is most of her song Slave to the Rhythm lol
I don't see what is scary about Grace Jones I see her as unique but scary, no.
I agree - always seems rather a fun person !
I used to have nightmares about her when i was a kid lol
Most people are very afraid of those rare members of the species possessing both the brains and the guts to be themselves and not give a single f*ck about what any of those other people might think about it. Ridiculous? Yes. Dangerously dumb and deeply stupid, in fact. But quite common, sadly enough.
Anita Parker I agree, I was more scared of her boyfriend the Russian guy from Rocky IV.
back in the 70s 80s early 90s she was scary because nobody was doing what she was doing..... (Grace Jones) was Katie Perry & Nicki Manaj before they were born
She always had her own style and good music love her this song will never get old the beat is everything will keep you moving pull up to the bumper 2022
Her style come from her gay brother christian
Not only do I remember this song in clubs, but I fondly remember her acting in Conan: The Destroyer, James Bond and a whole host of other movies. Look her up on IMDB
The best was Boomerang!
I got the dirtiest crush on Grace.. if ya reading Grace be gentle. but don;t be gentle
Doc MacLaren's Tinkering GRACE IS AN EXCELLENT ACTRESS AND SINGER. GRACIES JOBS WERE INCREDIBLE.
Big overreacts RIGHT HERE guys
Joseph Preston Did you forget to take your green pill? Why you goin' off so hard over McCleran's comment?
she was in Conan the destroyer i think
Zula. First time i saw her on that movie, i thought she was a man
she is not a man,grace is grace,she was born a women ididot
yes, she was! :)
Azarack Nargothrond Marcelo she (has a twin brother.)
, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
She was in a relationship with Dolph Lundgren for four years,back in the eighties.
Apparently they'd have orgies almost every night up to 5 girls lol
That's when she was looking for big white limousines.
He had a black eye every now and then!
...I met them outside the DNA Lounge one night back in the '80s...
...I lit her cigarette, she smiled and winked...
...that's my "brush with celebrity fame" story...
Rebel12 Wynn so fucking hot!!!!
💯....🔥🔥🔥...🦋🏴🇯🇲
THIS SONG IS STILL A TIMELESS CLASSIC AFTER 39 YEARS.
The gay website Towleroad just put forth the question, "Does Grace Jones have iconic ferocity?" If anyone at Towleroad had watched this video, why did it even bother to ask?
NO Autotune! All natural voice and talent....let this be a lesson to the kids today.
R.I.P Robbie Shakespeare , the genius bass player here. Listen to that.
Best Jamaican musician since Bob.
A Sly & Robbie groove all day long. The best riddim twins of all time!!!!!!
produced Cruel Summer Bananarama
hello Peter Tosh
Dont forget JUDY BOUCHER !!!
Grace Jones is a force to be reckoned with. She’s the best!
BEHOLD the Legend - The One and only, MAGNIFICENT Grace!!!!
Simply WoW! ONLY "Super-Model" for ME......
Unique and NEVER Imitated - What an ORIGINAL, Vibrant, 'Living' Work of Art'.....Viva, Forever!!
