I remember this one video that came out but I'm not sure if it was BET or not? It was called "I Sweat(Going Through The Motions)". Love That Song! She also made a video for this song called "Transformations".

My Apologies! She also made a video for this song called "If Looks Could Kill" made back in 1985.

That woman has been so many transformations musically and culturally, if she was white (and a man), she'd been revered like David Bowie.

I mean this proud black woman was at one time a member of a prominent girl group in the sixties, then the chief songwriter and co-leader of an all-female funk trio that was obviously the same group with a different name and one member absent, then when she went solo she did all sorts of genres that fit HER. nod

To call her a legend is understating the point. smile

Seek-out "Female Trouble," from about 1987 if you can. It's available used at Amazon, prices varying on condition, of course. Like her, the album is way underrated.
Why it rocks:

'Big Fun' co-written with Dan Hartman.
'Winds of Change' a beautiful song written for N. Mandela and features Bernie Worrell and Peter Gabriel.
'Why Should I Cry' produced by Jellybean Johnson was a minor hit (also has Jam & Lewis AND Jerome Benton playing on the song)
http://www.youtube.com/wa...7I1cppkZu4
'Rhythm of Change' has Jimmy Jam on keyboards
'Baby Go-Go' wriiten by... yep, PRINCE (aka J. Coco), also features Mavis Staples and George Clinton
The album opens with 'I Know What You Need,' one of my favorite songs ever!

I cannot recommend "Female Trouble" enough!!!!

thumbs up!

I love your avatar. One of my all time favorite shows was at the San Jose Oasis back in the day. Grace Jones was AMAZING. The whole show was like moving art and she was so sweet. She wasn't the hard and crazy person they portrait on t.v.
