This song was written by Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. Grace, of course, delivers a magnificent interpretation of it. Two extremely talented women!
If you are scared of Grace Jones you are scared to look directly at yourself. She posseses what society has tried to take away from us for a thousand years. She is the principle of understanding and a symbol of the self respect required to practice magick or do any great thing. Bless.
She uses her quirks to her own advantage. She’s intelligent. She is no stupid woman. I think that she must inspire so many women out there to stand on heir own to feet and be themselves unapologetically. Chapeau to her

That Face is Pure PERFECTION! Only Grace could keep u transfixed on just her Face. Her eyes are powerful as is her Bone structure which is why the camera man needs only a headshot.
This was written by Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders, as "like all the other London punks, I wanted to do reggae." It was included on The Pretenders 1980 self-titled debut album but when the singer heard Jones' version she conceded, "That's how it's supposed to be done
Long live Grace Jones & Chrissie Hynde👌🏼 Why can’t popular music be still like this???? Cannot believe that 41 years have gone by in the blink of an eye 😳 So glad & proud that I lived through these times of decent and honest to good tunes 💚🇮🇪
Grace was so far ahead of her time it was ridiculous! Her band (the Taxi Band) is still one of the baddest of all time IMO!! This track will still be hot 100 years from now...
+Malik Hassan One of the few artists from the outside and do New Wave. She was so freaky that she fit into the scene. WHFS in the last few years in Bethesda played this as they were emphasizing the genre. There were still free form DJs, and some who played nothing but this music.
Chrissie Hynde said this version is one of the highlights of her career (she wrote it) and I love that about artists that they acknowledge the brilliance of covers
Grace Jones WHOLE musical mantra is that she is an artist who draws on ALL POSSIBILITIES of the visual asthestic. This is why she is one of the most interesting music artist in the world. The fact that she does not do much blinking of the eyes in this music video,shows that she is in COMPLETE CONTROL of HOW she wants to portray her visual aesthetics for this music video. PURE GENIUS!
Grace Jones, the camera can just stay on her face and you can't look away. What an ARTIST. Heard she wrote all her own songs. Too much talent for one person to have: Sings, writes, looks spectacular, stage presence galore, had lots to say about how her videos would be done. Did I mention I love her attitude? She had something to say.
She may have done some or a lot of her own songwriting but this is a Pretenders song written by Chrissie Hynde, though this version is arguably better. Demolition Man was written by Sting for her even though The Police recorded a version soon after.
And what's really important to realise here, is that having the single camera shot in this video...you can actually SEE Grace Jones ACTING here, the visual expression is in her face and how she can change the features of her face for LONG moments of visual facial expressions. This type of visual work reminds me of the way Andy Wahol would work, when he had long visual expressions in his films, but being a music video here...The visual is not done TOO MUCH to the extreme in the way Andy worked.
I love her! She helped define music videos of the 80's and inspired many singers to become visual artists. A shame she never won a Grammy for one of her epic music vids, especially One Man Show.
....she was nominated for a Grammy for One Man Show....in the Best Long Form Music Video category....but...she lost to DURAN DURAN who admitted to her that they stole ideas from HER....she then DEMANDED that they give her....their GRAMMY....everyone steals from her....
Everything is perfect in this video. The music, the lyrics, the rhythm, his voice, the image, the little choreography, his gestures, his pauses, his look. All
Wow. This is the first time I've ever heard one of her songs on my own (was too young when this stuff was actually being made). Gotta say, I am super impressed. Time to look up some more! :)
Gawd she’s just so damn stunning, along with her creativity she just so damn good! I was born in the early 80’s and got to grow up with her image all around! She’s one of my role models!
I first hear her in 1979, the WARM LEATHERETTE album. A few of us would gather together in a small room in our hostel, and this was the fav album. There was also a little something we shared to enhance the musical experience. I still admire Grace to this very day. The vid of "living my life" from her one woman show is also fantastic.
I love her Do or Die Single, one of her earlier songs. This song is a Great Disco Anthem Song and the longest 12" version of this song, is ( in my opinion) one of the best 12 inch versions of a single song, EVER recorded.
OMG. She is so beautiful she takes my breath away. No wonder she was a bit nuts, being so utterly physically perfect has got to make people react to you in strange ways
When reviewing her next single,one of the critics in the music papers described her as being a Dalek on this one because of her cold,deadpan delivery of most of it. Made me chuckle anyway,and good record all the same.
Not only is the song great, but the video! It's just a single unbroken shot of Grace and her variety of expressions. Personally, I think it's still pretty interesting to watch, despite how bare-bones the imagery is. Nowadays, it'd be overly complicated with shots of a city or crowds or everything she's describing laid out in full detail or something. The way it is here, it's intimate, like a "this is the last straw, here's the deal, man" type of thing.
You're right but most people in music don't have this kind of electrifying persona that allows one to keep an audience's interest with nothing but one, long close-up. They work with what they've got.
The lights in the background, what she was wearing and grace herself really make it look cool. There's alot of other things going on too like the camera gradually zooming in at times, the way her eyes were looking, the way she was moving her head, the part when she put the mask on, the poses, etc
Ohhhh, Flower_Gemini I soooo agree with you! LOL! I used to be so frightened of this lady when I was young, but at the same time so intrigued by her uncanny presence, behavior, demeanor and attitude. It's just so fascinating how her refusal to conform to the industries standards that so many women (especially Black women) fall victim to actually catapulted her career back in her hay days. 30+ years later as a grown woman seeking to live my life beyond the cookie cutter automatons called human beings, I now have the greatest appreciation for Grace Jones as a woman who decided to personally define and trademark her own unique individuality. To top it off, my adult eyes now see how drop dead gorgeous she was and still is at the age of 60 something... Hail to Queen Grace Jones!
For me...Grace Jones as a Black Women in Popular Music is an integral part of Black-American Civil Rights ( even though she was Jamican and has European Connections); in that here is a Black Female Artist with her own UNIQUE indiviuality, that does NOT CONFIRM to world-wide wide social representations of the Black Female Music Artists. She paved her own individuality that gives voice to Black Women ALL OVER THE WORLD, in living and creating in your world, BY YOUR OWN MEANS OF EXPRESSION...AND NOT WHAT WORLD- WORLD SOCIETY EXPECTS YOU TO BE. This represents Black Female Power to the Max.
Trevor Horn was great on these productions but for me the real magic here is the Sly & Robbie backing track. Sadly Robbie Shakespeare passed away yesterday - a real pioneering musician who has played and or collaborated with pretty much everyone. RIP
This song is my song because I keep being dragged into others drama and I had enough of it the look on Grace Jones face is the look I want to give to those ppl who kept dragging me to solve their dramas
I agree with you. Many people would put me in their drama too as if I'm suppose to be their mediator. It took a toll on me mentally because I'm an empathetic and sympathetic person. When some of interventions didn't work, I gave up and told my family and friends to save their drama for a therapist.
Couldn't believe this in 1980 when it came out. Complimented what was a brilliant year for music. This still sound so original, she's it just brilliant and she still is producing brilliance especially with her last album.
I loved you then, Grace Jones as I do today! WHAT A VIDEO .... that face, those eyes ..... this, and every song .... THE BEST! When I listen to you, I am 22 again - - - it's the 80s and I'm dancing in NYC at the Roxy, Limelight, or the Paladium.

Great to see so many fans of Grace Jones, new stuff on its way. Hopefully she will work with Massive attack, Portishead and Tricky and thrill us all more, Amazing Grace how sweet her sound....
One of the best videos i have ever seen and shes just standing there singing. She just draws you in. Im heterosexual but if she were right in my face, i wouldn't be able to do anything but stare and blush.

Iconic is one of the many accurate descriptors of Grace Jones.
As Andy Warhol said: «Grace is perfect». A true artist; genuine, talented and absolutely coool. Love her.
....he truly loved her....
She's such a trip, just a head shot the whole time and she is utterly fascinating.

"You've made a desperate appeal now save your breath" is my favorite of the many quotable lines on this track. Beyond awesome.
A mi me encanta cuando entrecierra los ojos y dice: tu matrimonio es una tragedia pero no me concierne. Sublime
The original was written by Chrissy Hind for Pretenders. The original is very different. Grace Jones gave it much more of a reggae vibe.

One of my favorite songs from then. Grace was a pioneer. Helped by Sly n Robbie, of course.
You can't get bored of Grace she has a very unpredictable and unqie style the lady is a legend
I somehow missed this song in the 80s. Heard it for the first time on Sirius XM First Wave a few weeks ago and have been hooked ever since.
Night Clubbing is one of the most innovative albums of its genre. X :)
I still love it today, one of the most dog eared vinyls I own!
This is from Warm Leatherette though
OMG. She is so beautiful she takes my breath away. No wonder she was a bit nuts, being so utterly physically perfect has got to make people react to you in strange ways

A very slick version of an already fantastic Pretenders song, with a generous sprinkling of magical Trevor Horn dust. Grace is an incredible artist.
Trevor Horn was great on these productions but for me the real magic here is the Sly & Robbie backing track. Sadly Robbie Shakespeare passed away yesterday - a real pioneering musician who has played and or collaborated with pretty much everyone. RIP
Actually Horn had nothing to do with this one. This album was done by Chris Blackwell and the late Alex "Seven & The Ragged Tiger" Sadkin.
