 The funniest thing that I had no idea what's happening at all but I did love it!  | |

Once again, info courtesy of Wikipedia. Maybe they want to re-release it in the same year with the new album!  | |

Grace was the first artist who had a h.u.g.e. influence on me (years before I discovered P)!
I was only a kid when I saw her One Man Show on TV sometime in the mid-late 80s and I just couldn't stop watching it!
Then Slave To The Rhythym was my favourite track for years!  I'm still anticipating the release of that film's DVD...

Once again, info courtesy of Wikipedia. i heard about this from other sources, though it never quite panned out. though i have an extremely UNofficial copy of this on DVD, which an orger was kind enough to send me a while back.  | |

From Billboard.com:
Her (Grace Jones') booking agency in the U.S. has confirmed that Grace Jones has a new album planned for release in 2007. I think the closest we have to any real details on the set are dodgy tidbits on MySpace sites and nuggets on Wikipedia.
Producers and contributors are sketchy at the moment. On musician/producer Ivor Guest's MySpace, he says that he has completed work on Jones's upcoming album with "Sly and Robbie, Brian Eno, Wally Badarou, Tricky, Uzziah 'Sticky' Thompson, Mikey 'Mao' Chung, Barry Reynolds, Martin Slattery, Philip Shepherd, Don-E and Tony Allen."  | |

The song theme reminds me of Angela Bofill's "So Ruff". | |

Wally Badarou is pretty Funky. He has worked with her before. Also, he has produced Level 42. | |

Interesting. Whereas for myself, my experience with the song after I first heard was quite different. This is after I got into the pulsating rhythm of the song heard the lyrics Long Black Limousine and the dick-tation became clear to me like the call of the wild.  | |

OMG, I thought the exact same thing. I just didn't get it until years later and then I was all 
I think the first time I saw grace was on the Midnight Special (with the Jacksons) and she had on a gold outfit and was singing Do or Die. I was amazed and hooked at the same time. She is a visual artist and innovator as much as she is a recording artist. When I saw her in concert she made us wait for hours as she always does but it was worth every tardy minute. 
I think Slave to the Rhythm and La Vie En Rose are my favorite songs by her. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Cheek said: MsLegs said: Cool. Sly & Robbie are some of her old collaborators. I certainly hope that she has a least some produced tracks by Nile Rodgers. As you can tell, I'm a Grace fan from way back. Like myself on the Org, I know Anxiety and Supa are Grace fans b/c we used to have some serious Grace threads back in the Org days.  "Pull Up To My Bumper Baby With Your Long Black Limousine".
Yeah, she recorded her "Compass Point" albums with Sly & Robbie!!! 
"Cry Nooooow....Laugh later!!!" I love cry now laugh later. that was the first song I ever heard on a boom box back in the 1980's and it sounded so good nipsy | |

I've only gotten into Grace in the last year, so I'm glad to hear that she's got some new material on the way. Her rendition of "Private Life" seems to be my favorite from her. Ooh, little darlin' if you're
