The interviewer, David Frost, actually knew Grace very well. He died a few years ago. Grace would often go to his summer parties (a fixture of the summer in London for many years). Grace is one of the nicest people you could ever meet - that, along with her immeasurable talent, is why she has been 'around' so long! You will never meet anybody in the industry who does not like the woman!
you can really sense a mutual respect and understanding, none of the questions were sensational. Grace looks at ease without her usual defensive camp persona. very enjoyable to watch
Grace looks very beautiful in this interview. A badass. A fashion icon. A trendsetter that birthed influenced many such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga etc. Way ahead of her time. Black excellence🖤🇯🇲
This woman...This LIVING LEGEND...She is ONE OF A KIND, there is NO ONE and I mean NO ONE like her. She is the ONE and ONLY...She is INCOMPARABLE. No matter how many times others try to duplicate her UNIQUENESS. Hail to the QUEEN 🌟Grace Jones🌟 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Agreed. But loads of 80s people, particularly the women got awful ones. I've seen certain ones with my fave singer (Kim Wilde) & so many cretinous questions you wouldn't believe. If it was done now, it'd not be allowed, a pity cos the music biz has long been dead & it's full of talentless slags of both sexes who deserve hate thrown at them!
I'm very impressed with this interview. I especially liked the part where she spoke about coming to accept & like her feminine side and WHY she felt the need to be "over-the-top" masculine. Most interviewers would never have thought to ask that question. Grace Jones scared me a bit when I was a kid. I guess it was the androgynous image she portrayed and her masculine side that confused/intimidated me. However, I've come to appreciate her beauty, art, fearlessness, boldness. She's quite charming, warm and funny. Obviously incredibly intelligent & wise. She has and is living the kind of life most of us WISH we could live. She went against the grain and did what SHE wanted to do. Once I begin watching footage of her, I realize how captivating and mesmerizing she is. You just go: "My God she's a goddess!". Imagine Grace being told she would NEVER get work in places like Paris back during the beginning of her career? Who can look at her & say "No".??? So she took matters into her OWN hands and created work for herself during an even more racist time than now in the fashion world. Grace is a LEGEND.
She was really the most iconic black model of her generation. That crop of girls from the 70's that were so talented beyond being beautiful.....Grace Jones, Anjelica Huston, Lauren Hutton, René Russo, Jerry Hall, Iman Abdulmajid, Beverly Johnson.....just to name a few.
This was a great interview & it shows that she's one of the most underrated artist ever! Grace should've been huge in the US yet never got her due there always ahead of her time what she did 40+ yrs ago is still being copied today and ppl are eating it up yet the ones who copy her never give her the credit she deserves and it's sad
I'm really surprised that she wasn't huge in the US. I didn't know that. Throughout the eighties and nineties she was an absolute icon here in Canada, still is actually.
They weren't ready for her here in the U.S. in the 70's. I first saw her on American Bandstand in the early 70's I was like 13. She was and is so unique I fell in love with her right away. I was from a small country town which I always hated, such narrow minded people and nothing to do. It wasn't until I moved to the west coast that I started to live and I have been to two of Grace's concerts and she was amazing. You're absolutely right she is underrated. She is probably more celebrated abroad.
Grace leads the way and shows the light to the rest of us struggling to find something about ourselves . She liberated all those held prisoner in other people's rules of life.
I can’t explain it but this is the most angelic I’ve ever seen her. Her makeup appears minimal, and the real Grace Jones shines through. She was right about the softer approach at this time. You can only be so sharp and bold for years on end before that wears you out eventually. Mind you - this is Grace Jones. “Soft” and “minimal” takes on a whole other meaning here.
I read somewhere a long time ago that it was her one-time husband, Jean-Paul Goude curated that "sharp and bold" persona. She, herself, said during the halcyon days of her career that taking on that persona was about taking the thing people most try to use against you - in her case her purported "androgyny" (which is really just her being ethnically African lineage in an industry dominated by European features and mannerisms) owning it, and turning it into an asset.
Being a nasty, narcissistic, sex-mad, gold-digging, toxic bitch from hell though works out wonderfully for Slagdonna the untalented though & it won't wear that old whore out as it's an utterly unnatural aberration, as is everyone's gamut from tolerance to devotion to it. No matter that effing c*** from beyond hell gets, everyone will love it cos they're as sad as she is! But seeing Grace's softer side is cool, as she's so scary. Before this interview began, I slightly shuddered at the guy doing it as they seem so ill-prepared for her personality.
her education helped her be so amazing. its nice she rebelled but that core education made her so insanely smart. give your kids the ammo to be themselves then let them go. proof right here it works. big brain.
I've never seen her with a hairstyle like that.I'm wondering if she didn't have time to see a hairdresser. She's kind of channeling -- to me --a young Dionne Warwick!!
I never thought of Grace Jones as androgenous. Perhaps naivete' on my part, looking back. I just always found her to be very attractive and this is the first interview/video where I have seen her (as also described by the host) as soft and feminine. She looks stunning in this interview and I look forward to digging up more "soft and feminine" videos of her. Not a fan of her singing but she truly is incredibly attractive.
Whatever.... just because Grace is stunning? Every country has its beautiful women but sadly that doesn't ever mean that every person from that particular country is beautiful. Can't believe you thought that it would be possible....unless you are a bit simple?
@@TravisBickle1963 Thank you for your reply. It's an unusual edition of Wogan, as I remember Frost announcing that Terry was ill that night, hence him not being there. Frost was called in at the last minute I recall. I was interested who the other guests were.
Grace (Everything future + Love) meets Wogan (Everything patriarchal + problematic). I've always loved how Grace is unphased by the unpleasantries of interviewers especially the white men, trying to crack whatever facade they feel is there.
@@sonjab1241 You are so right. She had the best female celeb body with curves in the right places which I envied and wanted. Surgery and fakeness is a bigger problem now and none of it is a patch on the 80s fashion models. You needed a few male traits to get on back in those days.
The term androgynous refers to a specific body type, which lacks in the pronounced features associated with either gender. That means neither rounded nor typically manly, ergo not typical of either gender but somewhere in between them.
@@AutumnWind92 yeah, I think Taura J may have been referring to older interviews, like the famous 1980 interview with that terrible excuse of a chat show host
You guys keep repeating it under every itw of Jones but actually most white male interviewers went along well with Grace. Why the generalization of a minority action ?
“When did I decide to be myself?” Awesome response!
I felt that.
She’s absolutely stunning. Still is today, hasn’t aged a day! An icon.
wow, incredibly attractive
@@tonyjk8084 totally, fascinating woman
Black don't crack
She's in her very very early 40's here...Amazingly gorgeous
She also looks not older than 50 today. But she has really zero wrinkles even now and back then. I like her positiv energy.
Saw her in concert last year and she does not disappoint! These young female singers can't compete with Grace Jones on stage
What female singers?
You know. This woman is beautiful.

This was such a good interview! I feel like she rarely gets a good interviewer even now

A true Jamaican Icon and must be celebrated. A very strong woman, she is intelligent, courageous, bold, a trend setter and very confident.

She was ahead of time.
What an amazing person she is! 👏🏻👏🏻😍

Wow! Grace is always looking splendidly beautiful. A rare beauty!
I love her she is so resourced within. I appreciate her so much. Powerful and wise.
Back in the day, my fantasy X-Men live action movie had her cast as Storm
She would have also been an amazing Misty Knight as well.
Yeah, nothing Against Halle Berry but Grace Jones is Storm
Smart and talented woman ❤
She's so stunning
This woman is perfection!

Throughout the eighties and nineties she was an absolute icon here in Canada, still is actually.
Actually Lady Gaga mentionned her as a big influence of hers many many times. But it's true many didn't.
@Rob Odd exactly that, she's to powerful and they couldn't handle that!
They weren't ready for her here in the U.S. in the 70's. I first saw her on American Bandstand in the early 70's I was like 13. She was and is so unique I fell in love with her right away.

@@flazeda8743 grace bashed Gaga in an interview lol

THIS IS ONE OF HER BEST VIDEOS. I LIKE HER SERIOUSNESS IN THIS INTERVIEW.
Black excellence
Fascinating, talented and beautiful woman.
Beautiful
Shes gorgeous

Some women just look better without hair. First time I have seen her with this type
of hair style . So glad she cut it. She is stunning!
A true Jamaican goddess Ms. Grace Jones❤️
Wow! Never saw her with this hairstyle! And one of the best interview/conversations I've seen with her.
A goddess...
she looks so sweet with hair
Most coherent interview I've ever seen of her. Love her
Stunning woman!!!!
Her body belongs to science fiction
Queen 👑 Grace is a genius & absolutely gorgeous 😍
When not on coke and LSD.
You are the definition of Grace, Ms. Jones. So grateful for your elegance.
But where did she get those teeth.....?
The Tymes "Ms Grace" ua-cam.com/video/b6UdO7eHEpQ/v-deo.html
1990? She seems in this to have come from the future.
Beautifull woman and human being
She's very much a Jamaican woman, don't you just love her.
Yes, but for her amazing talent, personality and eccentricity... not because she comes from Jamaica.
Fabulous the one an only
She’s so hot! Why …. I wish I was 20 in 1977 and grace jones was my companion!
Fantastic interview. Grace is charismatic and alluring as ever. David Frost loved him his chocolate women haha.
Best prototype for a woman ever! She's too hot for words... not even mentioning the voice.
I was never really into her at all, but omg in this interview she is ridiculously hot i'm totally in love.
Incredible person, performer and artist. Always, way ahead of her time. Grace has inspired so many other artists.
This is what real famous looks like.😅
"Mr. T, eat your heart out!" LOL!
Finally, a good interview. I like to delve into Grace's creative mind instead of the interviewers just asking about her boyfriends
She’s always so loveable! I’ve been to few of her concerts she is unbelievably talented a real enigma x
i LOVE her hair.
most excellent upload!
A gorgeous woman indeed
LEGENDARY GRACE 🧡🎶💪🏾👑
She's definitely a model/
Sincere, lovely, Aunty Mame, perfect!
It’s like listening to myself!!! A reall women!!!
Grace es tremendamente simpática, es una mujer alegre y divertida.
Best Grace Jones interview I've seen so far👌🏿... most of those I've seen the interviewers were just horrible
Grace is so beautiful
Grace was shock value decades ago when it wasn't the norm before the internet camera phones TikTok and Instagram
her education helped her be so amazing. its nice she rebelled but that core education made her so insanely smart. give your kids the ammo to be themselves then let them go. proof right here it works. big brain.
She is magnificent here , and always!!!!
Except for the interview when she is spaced out on LSD
I've never seen her with a hairstyle like that.I'm wondering if she didn't have time to see a hairdresser. She's kind of channeling -- to me --a young Dionne Warwick!!
This is seriously a very fascinating interview. Especially now with the gender issue being on a lot of peoples minds.
Still beautiful
Jesus loves you Grace!

Well... androgynous includes femininity. It’s about the mixture of feminine and masculine.
a beauty
4:55 nice teeth! Some epic molars!
lovely how frank she's being
well done Terry Wogan
and graceful Grace
The Interviewer is actually David Frost. He was standing in for Wogan.
Mzzzzz Jones ...... Pull up to my bumper ....******
Wow
Let's not even mention Russel Harty. This went way beyond that debacle, but in a good way.
Grace is beautiful when she not being weird.... Natural Beauty
Wtf is your definition is weird? She is HERSELF. I guess it’s “weird” because it’s not YOUR NORM? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@chelseyboo16 Lol, I refuse to go there with you.......
People with no imagination or insight say shit like this.
@@lanolinlight Well, we do live in reality.....
-weird- eccentric
So beautiful .Jamaicans must be so beautiful jeez
Whatever.... just because Grace is stunning? Every country has its beautiful women but sadly that doesn't ever mean that every person from that particular country is beautiful. Can't believe you thought that it would be possible....unless you are a bit simple?
❤❤❤
She's really nice & very friendly too!!! I can't see why Roger Moore wasn't too keen on her when they were making A View To A Kill?
Roger was gay .
She looks like aunt viv from fresh prince of belair
That’s an interesting hairstyle.
Thank you for uploading. Do you have the entire show by chance?
No, just recorded the Grace Jones part, is there a reason you're looking for the complete show?
@@TravisBickle1963 Thank you for your reply. It's an unusual edition of Wogan, as I remember Frost announcing that Terry was ill that night, hence him not being there. Frost was called in at the last minute I recall. I was interested who the other guests were.

Grace (Everything future + Love) meets Wogan (Everything patriarchal + problematic). I've always loved how Grace is unphased by the unpleasantries of interviewers especially the white men, trying to crack whatever facade they feel is there.
That's actually David Frost not Terry Wogan, they've got that wrong.
Najee Searcy Oh do shut up. This is Britain, people here don’t cater to your American narcissism and Grace especially has no time for you.
@@dcfa71 Not wrong. It WAS the Wogan show but Frost was standing in for him.
Unfucking believable beautiful:)
Please amend title to - Interview David Frost as that's whos show she was on!
It's David Frost Standing In For Terry Wogan on the Wogan Show.
I never know why people call her or many others androgynous. Grace always wore make up and was always very feminine.
It shows that many dont recognise femininity without long hair and big breasts, sad forcthem
@@sonjab1241 You are so right. She had the best female celeb body with curves in the right places which I envied and wanted. Surgery and fakeness is a bigger problem now and none of it is a patch on the 80s fashion models. You needed a few male traits to get on back in those days.

This is 1990 but looks like 1977.
She is beautiful. I just could not stand how she looked i that manly box hair cut.
Reminds me of Teyanna Taylor here
She was always so graceful in interviews no matter how much those white males tried to make her feel small
It was just the old ones. They did the same to white women.
this "white male" was her friend lmao.
@@AutumnWind92 yeah, I think Taura J may have been referring to older interviews, like the famous 1980 interview with that terrible excuse of a chat show host
@@ezogh3826 oh I know that one, it's so terrible that a moron like that is a host.

And we love Madonna but grace was before her and decades before her was thee originator Josephine baker
3:57
Mayday
She cautioned people about "women's lib" 30 years ago. Amazing.
She looked quite different here
The volume is really low.
Try adjusting your equalizer
not my wogan
He doesn't look like Wogan to me!
That's not Wogan !
