Grace Jones is graceful in her own right. Couldn't seem to find recent pictures of her though.

@Spike'

Why you do this to me?

You are setting me off the reflective & nostalgic trail

Ah! Grace Jones, bless her

Pull Up To The Bumper (1981) - some serious tune that is/was

That was before Patra "patois-ed" it with a ragga version

What horror ?

Most people into fashion / music would know Grace Jones was an Icon in the 70's / 80's. Grace Jones was the longest fashion muse of the lengendary Andy Warhol,before having a sucsessful career in modelling. She was also one of the pioneer's of Disco. .  Her version of Edith Paif's La Vie En Rose is a classic,in fact her original unedited version is now a collectors item.

And the person who said she's a lesbian,so what ? She is in fact not. She's dated  Dolph Lundgren (the actor) for years,and has been married twice.
These are the lastest pictures I have of her. . . I was at this concert, but didn't take these pictures. At 60 she was amazing ! La Vie En Rose,I Need a Man, Island Life, Pull up To The Bumper, Nightclubbing, damn amazing songs !!

Spiked,thanks for knowing what really matters in life  Wink

*Tee hee hee*, that name cracks me up.

Grace is graceful! It takes a person with eyes to actually see beyond the common aesthetic values of many and recognise how beautiful grace is---especially bodywise. Wink

I am afraid if I tried looking any further I might lose my libido for life.

Grace JONES tribute - The Story of Grace JONES

  <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/OxFz34RdivE&amp;hl" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/OxFz34RdivE&amp;hl</a>

. . .  the glamorous and statuesque Grace Jones.

Grace Jones (born Grace Mendoza in 1948, in Spanish Town, Jamaica) is a supermodel, singer and actress.

Jones secured a record deal with Island Records in 1977. The three albums she recorded - Portfolio (1977), Fame (1978), and Muse (1979) - generated considerable success in that market, most of which came with a cover of Édith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose".

During this period, she also became a muse to Andy Warhol, who photographed her extensively.

The well-received "Slave to the Rhythm" hit #12 in the UK. Many of her songs are regarded as classics to this day.

In November 2004, she sang her hit "Slave to the Rhythm" at a tribute concert at Wembley Arena. She received rave reviews, despite being absent in the music scene for some time.

Jones' work as an actress in mainstream film first began with the role of Zula, the amazon in the 1984 film "Conan the Destroyer" alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.

She next landed the role of May Day, in the 1985 James Bond movie "A View to a Kill".

While some critics have suggested that Jones "speak-sings" often in her songs, she actually possesses a 2⅓ octave range.

Her natural baritone is used on songs like "Slave to the Rhythm", while she is able to hit high notes on "La Vie En Rose".

The stylized "speak-sing" in general has been compared to an ancient singing technique which for centuries has been a part of some African cultures.

Many of her recordings feature a monotone vocal style, though Jones could also take on jazz numbers.

Listen to Grace's rich voice and enjoy her grace!

Of course we are talking of her beauty here in addition to her being a prima donna fashion diva

Different people will find different things beautiful hence the differences of opinion doesn't really matter.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder . . . Smiley
