Grace Jones is a lady who's consistently managed to stun and shock people; even up to this day. Many might only know her by her image and a couple of movies she did in the mid eighties, but surprise! Surprise! She's also a singer. In fact; Grace Jones got signed in 1977 and stormed the charts with her lead single, I Need a Man, and the album, Portfolio, was a huge success, in spite of the albums success Grace didn't really achieve the amount of success she'd hoped for. Her second lp followed in 1978; titled, Fame. After a fair amount of success (#1 hit single with, I Need a Man, and a gold selling rendition of, La Vie En Rose) she finally received her due. The single, Do or Die, hit #8 on the dance charts and the album was named one of the most important disco albums' of the seventies.

Her third (and last) disco lp followed in 1979 called, Muse, you can't really blame the album for its lack of success and exposure, especially when you consider the disco riot that occurred in the late seventies. Despite of the incident, the album did have one somewhat successful song with, On Your Knees, which ought to be her last successful disco single. As disco slowly (or rather quickly) faded, Grace decided to change her image, and received help from her now ex-husband Jean Paul Goude. Together they created this mythological androgynous warrior, with the image followed her new music style, main stream rock fused with punk/ reggae. The bearing of the new image came in 1980; in titled, Warm Leatherette, and whatever success she did not receive in her disco years; she certainly did with this one.

The album was a hit; earning rave reviews for its sauciness and uniqueness, take her handle of the classic, Love Is the Drug, and her ferocious growl and squirm of, Private Life, if perfect had a definition it would certainly be it. In 1981 followed the release of what ought to be her most successful record; Nightclubbing. The album includes the #5 hit single, Pull Up to the Bumper, and the album peaked at #32 on the Billboard Chart, it was also crowned "album of the year" in 1981. In 1982 she received a Grammy nomination for her, One Man Show, and the album , Living My Life, soon followed, producing two hit singles: My Jamaican Guy and Nipple to the Bottle. In 1985 followed her most successful single yet; Slave to the Rhythm, which is a lush tune perfectly complimented by a gorgeous music video. Inside Story and Bulletproof Heart followed in 1986 and 1989.
