      And what's really important to realise here, is that having the single camera shot in this video...you can actually SEE Grace Jones ACTING here, the visual expression is in her face and how she can change the features of her face for LONG moments of visual facial expressions.
      This type of visual work reminds me of the way Andy Wahol would work, when he had long visual expressions in his films, but being a music video here...The visual is not done TOO MUCH to the extreme in the way Andy worked.

    Not only is the song great, but the video! It's just a single unbroken shot of Grace and her variety of expressions. Personally, I think it's still pretty interesting to watch, despite how bare-bones the imagery is. Nowadays, it'd be overly complicated with shots of a city or crowds or everything she's describing laid out in full detail or something. The way it is here, it's intimate, like a "this is the last straw, here's the deal, man" type of thing.

    Ohhhh, Flower_Gemini I soooo agree with you! LOL!

It's just so fascinating how her refusal to conform to the industries standards that so many women (especially Black women) fall victim to actually catapulted her career back in her hay days. 30+ years later as a grown woman seeking to live my life beyond the cookie cutter automatons called human beings, I now have the greatest appreciation for Grace Jones as a woman who decided to personally define and trademark her own unique individuality. To top it off, my adult eyes now see how drop dead gorgeous she was and still is at the age of 60 something... Hail to Queen Grace Jones!

      She paved her own individuality that gives voice to Black Women ALL OVER THE WORLD, in living and creating in your world, BY YOUR OWN MEANS OF EXPRESSION...AND NOT WHAT WORLD- WORLD SOCIETY EXPECTS YOU TO BE.
      This represents Black Female Power to the Max.

    She chose the perfect mate during the 80's (Dolph Lundgren in his prime back then). :) For those of you too young to remember: He played "Ivan Drago", the Russian in "Rocky IV".

    I first hear her in 1979, the WARM LEATHERETTE album. A few of us would gather together in a small room in our hostel, and this was the fav album. There was also a little something we shared to enhance the musical experience. I still admire Grace to this very day. The vid of "living my life" from her one woman show is also fantastic.

      I love her Do or Die Single, one of her earlier songs.
      This song is a Great Disco Anthem Song and the longest 12" version of this song, is ( in my opinion) one of the best 12 inch versions of a single song, EVER recorded.

      Trevor Horn was great on these productions but for me the real magic here is the Sly & Robbie backing track. Sadly Robbie Shakespeare passed away yesterday - a real pioneering musician who has played and or collaborated with pretty much everyone. RIP

    • @stevem-h3562

      Actually Horn had nothing to do with this one. This album was done by Chris Blackwell and the late Alex "Seven & The Ragged Tiger" Sadkin.
