Black History Month: Grace Jones: The Iconoclast

Jamaican American model, singer, songwriter, record producer, actress and provocateur
is still on top of her game. With her distinctive androgynous appearance and bold beautiful features she conquered the music industry with a record deal with Island Records and instantly became a star of New York City’s Studio 54 centered disco scene. In the 80’s she moved toward a new wave style that drew on reggae, funk, post punk and pop music. Collaborating with photographer and graphic designer Jean-Paul Goude, they created the most iconic images and videos that has been an inspiration for artists including Annie Lenox, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Santigold among many others.
Among her many hits the most memorable being 1981 Nightclubbing which claimed the number 1 slot on NME’s Album of The Year list, is widely considered now her best studio album. To top it off the album’s cover art is a painting of Jones by Jean-Paul Goude presented an androgynous Jones wearing an Armani suit, cigarette in her mouth and a flattop haircut…. an instant classic.
Island’s release Island Life, Jones’ first compilation with Portfolio, Fame, Warm Leatherette, Nightclubbing, Living my Life and Slave to the Rhythm will be forever remembered with it’s cover artwork. A Jones/Goude collaboration called “Nigger Arabesque” and has been described as “one of pop culture’s most famous photographs”

The New York Times sums it all up on their review: Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami documentary directed by Sophie Fiennes, “Ms Jones, here, a heightened version of what she always has been, a symbol of sex and strength, the pinup gladiator newly ready to reveal and defend herself.
The documentary is a feat of portraiture and a restoration of humanity. It’s got the uncanny, the sublime, and in many spots, a combination of both.
This is isn’t a career retrospective or a treatise on the importance and wide influence of Grace Jones…. “Bloodlight and Bami” is all vérité.“ Grace Jones, we salute you. @missgracejones
