Grace Jones: Living legend

Just rediscovered my Grace Jones vinyl, Portfolio, Fame, Muse, Warm Letherette, Nightclubbing, Living my life and Island Life. Would you agree with me in saying its some of the best music ever recorded. Her voice and presence are amazing, shes easily Prince's feminime equivalent.
The Jewel in the crown is the 1998 CD, the Compass point sessions, the versions on this CD are outstanding. Who else loves Miss Grace Jones.

(Share photos if you like)

She rocks! Glad she came back since "Hurricane" was such an incredible album (come to think of it, it helped me out of a pretty tough time). I really got into her stuff the last few years. The disco stuff is interesting, but not nearly as remarkable as the three reggae/new masterpieces that came after. I'm sure others will have much more to say and will add great photos. It's kind of late....

one of my top ten favourite albums is "nightclubbing" worship

she did a fantastic job on her comeback album "hurricane"

Grace is a rare jewel in musics crown, many dont get what she does but for those that do excited

Just saw the video to Corporate Cannibal, I think I am going to have difficulty sleeping tonight. Even in her 60s Grace is still earning my respect and scaring the heck out of me.
