Tickets just went on sale today for Grace Jones’ October 27 concert at Roseland Ballroom. If you are not familiar with the incomparable Miss Jones, consider watching the above video—of Jones’ singing “Slave to the Rhythm” at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Concert in June—your homework.
Below, Jones gives us art-scene realness is the video for “I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Perfect for You)

I know some younger guys won’t know her but she’s very popular in Europe. I have seen her perform three times, the last being at the Hollywood Bowl about three years ago. She She is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen–every time.

@hf2hvit: I’m 18 and I think Miss Jones is completely FIERCE!

I am dating myself, but I have been a fan of GraceJones, an original performance artist for 30 years.
She has an extensive catalog of icon albums and music. She is legendary and I still listen to her original vinyl records of “Night Clubbing” “Warm Leatherette”, and many more.
I love her range of rock, dance, punk, reggae, and funk..
…..Lady Gaga copied her looks too.
