She is nothing like the media portrayed her to be...as some wild, feral, aggressive black woman. Beautiful, classy, intelligent, funny, well spoken, very thoughtful, intriguing, down to earth and straightforward.
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Grace Jones staged her performances and ran her productions. Her concepts were her own. Getting her start in fashion made her more conceptual and artistic than others. You know zero about Grace Jones. Grace was and is an artist more than the hacks you seem to worship. Stay dumb, stay jealous.
Nope. Sorry. Claim your true ID. You're a sorry excuse for a human as is the case with most haters. Flouting your "opinion" doesn't equal realism nor does your "opinion" amount to truth. I'm not even a Grace Jones fan at all. Doesn't take one to see that she is original and an artist. I am an artist. It takes one to know one. You are counterfeit knowing nothing about music or performance.
Grace always understood what she was doing, before and now. She studys and lives art. Most of today singers are being told what to do, Grace has done collaborations with many artists but everything was inspired by her, nobody come up to her and tried to put clothes and an identity on her. She totally knows what she was doing, nobody builded a career for her from the nothing. She had all that capacity inside and others artists helped for make it work. Like any artist does. It wouldn't have worked if someone come up and tried to put her in their own visions like you said, she KNOWS very well in what she was and is involved. Everything was inspired by her, she isn't manipulated by others. She is the source, her identity puts all the collaborations in the map. I read a lot of her and I've seen all of her interviews, She feels her thing, that's re reason why it worked. She's real. Don't try to discredite her, very disrespectful!, inform yourself. When an artist is being told what to do doesn't works and looks unprofessional. Look at Grace, is obvious that the lady feels her thing! lol
@TheDennydude ~ It's strange, because she is speaking in with an American accent in this interview (which I have never heard her do before), when her real speaking voice is a mixture of French, British and Jamaican...Jamaica is where she originates from and her family still live there. Here is a link to a short video on our British Television from 1977 (She is treasured here for her artistic expression, music and feisty personality!)...and you can hear her strong British accent. ua-cam.com/video/ZbOsmTVg6l8/v-deo.html Sometimes, when she was younger she would adopt the accent of the place she was in, perhaps to feel more welcome and that she belonged...or to be accepted... But despite this she has always been brave enough to be true to herself and her unique artistry and expression of herself...no matter how wild...and thank heavens for her wild heart! =) Have you ever watched the documentary film about her by Sophie Fiennes..? It's called 'Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami' and is an incredibly intimate, powerful and vulnerable portrait of her life and follows her to visit her elders and family in Jamaica and includes stunning concert footage... I recommend watching it, it's wonderful! Here's a link to the fantastic trailer... Good wishes to you ! =) ua-cam.com/video/wJJ8bZrr9hc/v-deo.html
Right? She has very unique fashion sense but that doesn't define her as being weird or anything like that. She seems really sweet and easy going and down to earth, like you could really sit and chat with her
Being born in the 90s, I first discovered her in the movie Conan the Destroyer playing as the female warrior Zula. By far, she played the best female warrior character I have EVER seen in a movie or video game (unlike those ridiculously unrealistic big breasted characters they often have nowadays). She was perfect for the role and appeared to be enjoying it too. I just couldn't take my eyes off her! A true artist. We need more like Grace Jones.
If i would marry any woman on earth.She is the only woman i would opt for(Even though i know that, its not possible) A true Black warrior Queen with exceptional characteristic traits and personality.
I saw recent interviews with her basically saying Gaga is playing dressup with no real conviction in what she's doing. Grace lived, breathed, and believed everything she was doing. It wasn't just a "front" for the moment.....
Velle M Gaga lives and breathes everything she does, constantly evolving, whether it’s derived from original source or not. Gaga does great, writes as well. More than I can say for most pop stars
Velle M I totally agree with that sentiment about Lady Gaga sorry not sorry the whole generation of so-called artist coming out are just playing dress up they're not Madonna they're not Cyndi Lauper Boy George Tina Turner original..... They're just weird kids playing dress up nothing intriguing about them...
Velle M wow! Lol. I read that lady gaga stole her persona and a lot of other things from a friend she had in high school who commited suicide. The deceased girls mother provided proof with art, lyrics/poems, and the personality of the girl. People wondered why the girls really hung out because they had nothing in common and gaga was very privileged and attended a very private school with young celebreties. The deceased girls mother also said she was shocked when she first saw gaga video.😒
Ms. Jones is a delightful, talented, intelligent, down to earth person. Wish the interview was a little longer, I enjoyed listening to her talk about growing up in Jamaica!!!!
We are born into a body that we did not ask for. Some were luckier that others. Some adjust well and some do not. I admired how this lady expressed herself and she appears to be very likeable. I felt sadly to hear how some of her family memebers fell about her. Thanks for posting this.
Pure Black Elegance Pure Black Femininity I heard that they were judging the most beautiful women and I had to come here and just watch her.. Not performing.. Just being. Absolutely stunning
She seems like a totally different person based from personality to image. She always looks so intimidating with that flat top look and agile appearance. I remember her from Conan the barbarian as a child in the 80s as well as view to a kill, but I never remembered what she sounded like, so I always thought she had an accent since seeing her more recently in Boomerrang with Eddie Murphy. Cool video and very nostalgic to the king of late night.
i just don't see how anyone could not love Grace. She truly is a force of nature really. brilliant, very talented and captivating in every way. this interview with Johnny is priceless. thank you so much for sharing this with all of us on UA-cam.
Oh Grace I go weak in the presence of beauty. You are truly the most beautiful woman in the world and the most engaging celebrity I have ever seen. Grace, there is nothing that you can't do. A great actress, a great singer, the most talented and beautiful model that has ever graced the runways of the world. I love you Grace and your attitude to life. You are truly a blue diamond, rare, you hang upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear. This is a quote from Shakespeare. 💞💖💕♥️💗💗♥️💕💖💞💖💕♥️💕💖💞
Grace Jones was and is an enigma . . . brilliantly talented! I had the pleasure of seeing her perform live at the Hollywood Bowl a couple of years ago and she was magnetic!! Bravo!!
Well Edwin grace had that cut probably from 1981...I got mine in 1984 inspired by her, revolutionary at the time but by 1987-88 the hip hoppers started wearing the do
she is so Adorable, Sharp and Engaging! Grace Jones uses expressions like "Aww, Gosh" !!! haha. i can't get enough of her. this is one of the best interviews that really shows what an amazing, dynamic person she is. and hypnotic. and her true, original, authentic accent. i will always be in awe of her. thanks for sharing :)
God she is great....in the Disco days she was great n a character....far out costumes n sets n that voice....she was n is unique....I was in awe of her n what a woman....if only there were people like her nowadays....I really think it's getting worse n not better the way humanity behave...no originality or sense of uniqueness...all carbon copies n worse copies of the older original real people...she is one of a kind...they broke the mold when she was born...God bless her!!!
Adore Grace Jones - she is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. She is almost certainly portrayed in the wrong light, how wrong we are to assume how she is portrayed is how her Personality really is!!
such a unique woman, I remember watching her in VAMP as the vampire lady lol as a Kid, I was scared of her, but then seeing her in other movies, ( she was a great actress) & music, modeling and fashion, I realized who inspired future models like Tyra Banks and Naomi Cambell!
She is nothing like the media portrayed her to be...as some wild, feral, aggressive black woman. Beautiful, classy, intelligent, funny, well spoken, very thoughtful, intriguing, down to earth and straightforward.
Well, she is pretty flaky with all the astrology talk and that she's a cat.
I've watched a few Grace Jones interviews and she seems like a total sweetheart
I have to say this is not what I expected, and if she clobbered Russell Harty then he richly deserved it. He was just a waspish old queen,
Yes she is.
@@WalterLiddy Relax it’s got a chat show
She has the most beautiful facial structure!
Yes she does
Oh hell yeah. Her face is so symmetrical in the modeling world she is perfection.
I agree with you. She's perfect
her whole body hangs off those cheekbones.
Yes, she has and she still looks glamorous and sensational !!
If there was ever a female black terminator she would be it
thats a good role for her now that i imagine it
She had that aesthetic since 1980, Terminator came out in 84'. I wonder if she had inspired that.
rusty she'd make a PERFECT Klingon Warrior of course😘😎😘 IF the ST Discovery people knows what good for them...
Honda commercial
😂😂😂
She was before Lady Gaga and Madonna. Grace Jones everyone.
+Allison Argent AND that's the FUCKING truth! BEFORE Madonna,Cyndi Lauper and Gaga there WAS GRACE
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Grace Jones staged her performances and ran her productions. Her concepts were her own. Getting her start in fashion made her more conceptual and artistic than others. You know zero about Grace Jones. Grace was and is an artist more than the hacks you seem to worship. Stay dumb, stay jealous.

I admire how she embraces her uniqueness. We can learn a lot from this. She's a beautiful woman with a 'contagious' smile.
Right? She has very unique fashion sense but that doesn't define her as being weird or anything like that. She seems really sweet and easy going and down to earth, like you could really sit and chat with her
"You don't believe in marriage, do you?"
Grace: "No, I don't."
"Why is that?"
Grace: "Because I don't believe in divorce."
I fucking love this woman
Grace should have been Storm for the X-Men movies...
B Gill omg you're right!
The 80s Storm always reminded me of Grace Jones.
So true
I think that would've been a great part for her, I really do 😍
@@treystephens4490 RIGHT 😍
Grace Jones is like a cat, very hypnotizing💋
She would've been a grand Catwoman.
Cat mother hehe
I would have made a good cat woman too Eshne.
So much energy and presence. What a force she is.
Johnny Carson was crazy about her...
To all the twinks who like to call everyone and everything iconic these days, this - this woman is ICONIC.
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
🇯🇲🇯🇲🐅🐱🐱🐱
😃👍✔💯
She's not Iconic SHE. IS. A. GODDESS!!!!!! ;-)
Exactly. Well said.
She is so awesome. She has so much character. Beautiful.
She really commands the screen,..I wish she was in more films.
cause i don't believe in divorce. Nailed it!
Athena124 She really did nail it !
And now !!!! I'll go through my life with a better open mind !
I truly love this woman ! 😍😍😍
Grace Jones has beautiful skin and elegantly shaped head. She's beautiful!
She's absolutely stunning, & so talented
Man she's pretty
Yup, man he is.☺
She's gorgeous!
Pretty doesn't cut it; she is exotic and spectacular !!
She's so down to earth
Grace Jones = GENIUS
Carson had it right when he told her she was a fascinating lady.
...he also said she was one of his favorite guests....because he always wanted to see what she was going to WEAR....
This lovely lady gives zero darns!! I admire her strength, elegance and beauty...perfect smile too
omg shes beautiful...
She's witty, classy and assertive, as well as being stunning.
Cool voice and a fantastic smile.
And at 70 years old, she is STILL a stunner!
“Because I don’t believe in divorce.” And that’s that on that 😂
no words to describe this woman. she was "unique"
I never thought much of her but after this video she is a beautiful woman inside and out
I always thought much of Grace from the time I was a kid. I LOVE her!
Graces Jones is the only one still living from this video.
:-O
:0
Including all the people in the clips, only Tanya Roberts and Grace remain. Roger Moore, Johnny Carson, Ed McMahon, John Ritter - RIP.
She was the only one living then too. The show came alive the minute she walked in!
Not true. The sound man Jacob is still alive. Lol!
“I don’t believe in marriage because I don’t believe in divorce”, Grace Jones is a legend, no one comes close 😍😍😍🥰
Those gents made sure that they got hugs from Ms. Grace Jones. If I were a gent, I would definitely go for her. She is out of this world.
Truth...
Being born in the 90s, I first discovered her in the movie Conan the Destroyer playing as the female warrior Zula. By far, she played the best female warrior character I have EVER seen in a movie or video game (unlike those ridiculously unrealistic big breasted characters they often have nowadays). She was perfect for the role and appeared to be enjoying it too. I just couldn't take my eyes off her!
A true artist. We need more like Grace Jones.
Johnny was so captivated by Grace in this classic interview. Thoroughly enjoyable!! ^5
Grace Jones, a living work of art.... a black onyx in the rough....
In the rough... ? Highly polished!!!
Grace is my hero(ine) - giving zero effs before we all talked about not giving effs...bold and beautiful
Love how she sort of curtsy when introduced to the other guests? Is she a real lady or what? But she can kick your ass if she wants to!!!!
+Incredible Mann F*ck yassss
absolutely!
Yes, so feminine and charming! Very pleasant to watch.
I noticed that. Well she was more famous in Europe where royalty lives. She probably did lots of curtsying
She would have made a freakin' awesome Cat Woman. Halle Berry ain't got nothin' on the Fabulous Miss Jones! (Although, Eartha Kitt rocked it).
she will be great as dc hereoine as VIXEN
ZombieMommy
I agree🤣🤣🤣😘
She and Eartha Kitt would have been great as a Cat Woman duo.!!!
Grace is the epitome of vixen in comparison to Halle berry the names shouldn't even be comparable lol
I agree
35 years later, and her style is still damn good.
They're always calling black women aggressive when we stand up for ourselves.
...Such a Queen!!!
She's beee you tifff alĺl
What a brilliant and talented woman. Gorgeous.
Grace is a Queen!!! She epitomizes a strong, intelligent, and confident black women.
If i would marry any woman on earth.She is the only woman i would opt for(Even though i know that, its not possible)
A true Black warrior Queen with exceptional characteristic traits and personality.

She’s such an amazing and talented human being. Outrageously creative and over the top, but maintains a really nice and friendly personality.

Grace was truly iconic as an entertainer. Underappreciated by most.

Ladies and gentlemen introducing Miss Grace Jones...... The Ultimate Black Beauty ❤️❤️❤️
I was able to Finally Get Grace's DVD. Blood Light and Bami. Going to watch Now!!!
That outfit is everything
She has the most amazing smile.
GRACE JONES - YOU ARE AMAZING ..... #JAMAICA
One of the most heart breaking but amusing feelings of all time is knowing that I was born generations and generations after somebody like her
....there are tons of things on her on You Tube....from that period when she 1st blew up...enjoy...
Such a short interview and I am left wanting more. She is one fascinating woman.
Grace and her kind are what kept us sane during the dreadful Reagan years. She is one wonderful tough cookie.
2020 AND THIS JAM STILL GOT SOME BITE TO IT
Adore Grace Jones - she is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. She is almost certainly portrayed in the wrong light, how wrong we are to assume how she is portrayed is how her Personality really is!!
Oh I remember watching this interview!!!!!! Classic Grace!
she got jokes!!!!! the 1st flat top.
My favourite thing about this clip is her radiance. What a queen.
madonna wouldn't survive the 80's without Grace Jones. SHE PAVED
There will never be another Johnny
such a unique woman, I remember watching her in VAMP as the vampire lady lol as a Kid, I was scared of her, but then seeing her in other movies, ( she was a great actress) & music, modeling and fashion, I realized who inspired future models like Tyra Banks and Naomi Cambell!
"Ladies and Gentleman Heeeeeeeeeeere's Grace!"
I swear Grace does not age. She still looks the same now as she did 30 years ago....
Yeah, she is awesome ! Words can't describe her !
I love me some, Miss. Grace!❤️❤️❤️
