    "I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect for You)" is the first single by Grace Jones from her album Inside Story, released in 1986. The song was co-written by Bruce Woolley and produced by Nile Rodgers of Chic fame. It was released as the lead single from Jones' eighth studio album, Inside Story. For the 12" single release "I'm Not Perfect" was remixed by Larry Levan and The Latin Rascals.
    The track met with commercial success, becoming one of Jones' biggest hits. It made the Top 40 in several European countries and Top 10 in New Zealand, and was the highest-charting single by Grace Jones on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 69, and her last song to enter this chart.

    ....OH, NO YOU DIIINNN'TT!! ...La GRACE!??? ... ***GRACE JONES TRIVIA TIME!!***
    - "I'm Not Perfect" was produced by Nile Rodgers of CHIC, who's in the CLASSIC Video (1:53); Grace is showing us different methods of being 'perfect' (acupuncture, therapy, Milk baths, etc.), but, is showing her audience, she's 'perfect' for us....because, she's GRACE.....(5:05)
    ...- The Video is presented as a 'pseudo-documentary', "interviewing" Art & Fashion LEGENDS, like Pop Artist Andy Warhol, who died 2 months after this Video debuted, showing us his last appearance ANYWHERE (1:26)...
    - Grace is also modeling HUGE pieces of Fashion Art from THE renowned (late) Pop Artist of the 80's, KEITH HARING, who designed the large Balloon dress EXCLUSIVELY for Grace.... (3:52) ...The Video, OF COURSE, caused controversy, showing Grace partially Nude, which made the Video tough to play on Video stations...(3:06)...
    ...it was ALSO her LAST Top 10 (R&B) hit, peaking at #9, Jan. 1987...She had several Top 5 Dance hits afterwards, but, THIS was Grace's final Soul hit....wanna see!??

    This is actually my favorite Grace Jones song. Neil Rodgers of Chic, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring and Tina Chow are in the video. Neil Rodgers produced the song.

    1:36 that's Joanne Gair, her makeup artist by that time. She worked later with Madonna: Express yourself, Vogue, Dick Tracy, Erotica, etc. She was part of the Blond Ambition crew so you will see her in Truth or dare.
    She posted this on Instagram:
    "That was my reaction after it was 5AM already in the morning by then and we hadn’t yet shot anything. As Grace’s buddies were saying only lovely things about her, she said ‘ Go in Jo say something nasty about me’ 🤣🤪🙃 Grace loved my Kiwi raw honesty and they kept my cameo in the video 😂👍 LOL Loooove the way Grace got my humor & I her’s. Many fabulous years, adventures & of course memories together. 💖 These were the days videos were ‘epic’ both in visual storytelling, music and working hours."
    More Grace Jones reactions please ❤️

    The artist seen painting Grace's giant black and white skirt is Madonna's best friend Keith Haring ❤

      I don't know if he's considered her best friend but definitely one of her close friends. They were roommates in 82. Other close friends of hers are Debi Mazar and Rosie O'Donnell among others.
      I saw his show at the deYoung Museum in San Francisco and it was amazing. There was a Polaroid of him and Madonna with brunette hair in 89.

    My favorite Grace Jones song. Yes, that's Nile Rodgers on the song and in the music video.

    @andrewgarrett3555 2 года назад +4

    The video practically screams New York, 1986. This and Debbie Harry's "French Kissin" are two songs from this year that should have been much bigger hits.

      @Braedensground 2 года назад +1

      Agreed! There were always big hits in my book and my mix tapes. They were in my playlists in my DJ years.

    Hey Empress, how's baby Empress, just caught this reaction, loved it, and I love that you have a really good ear with picking up on producers, etc. Nile Rodgers was also in the video briefly. I don't know if you've done Duran Duran's " Notorious", it too was produced by Nile and has a very similar vibe. It's 🔥too, take care!😊
