That's something else! As a long-time Grace Jones fan, I can only applaud her guts (as usual) and her talent. Fantastic!

I've always admired her "look" but never actually heard her music before. I'm not running out to buy her albums, but I'll certainly watch this video a few more times.

She never made it big in the States, but in the 1980s I fell in love with her powerful androgynous image and spoken-word vignettes coupled with some seriously funky music. You might enjoy 'The Apple Stretching', a song about New York, which begins: 'The sun comes swaggering across the harbour/and kisses the lady waiting in the narrows.' Great stuff.
