Best Selling Books by Grace Jones

Iconic music and film legend Grace Jones gives an in-depth account of her stellar career, professional and personal life, and the signature look that catapulted her into the stardom stratosphere. Grace Jones, a veritable “triple-threat” as acclaimed actress, singer, and model, has dominated the entertainment industry since her emergence as a model in New York City in 1968. Quickly discovered for her obvious talent and cutting-edge style, Grace signed her first record deal in 1977 and became one of the more unforgettable characters to emerge from the Studio 54 disco scene, releasing the all-time favorite hits, “Pull Up to the Bumper,” “Slave to the Rhythm,” and “I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Perfect for You).” And with her sexually charged, outrageous live shows in the New York City nightclub circuit, Grace soon earned the title of “Queen of the Gay Discos.” But with the dawn of the ’80s came a massive anti-disco movement across the US, leading Grace to focus on experimental-based work and put her two-and-a-half-octave voice to good use. It was also around this time that she changed her look to suit the times with a detached, androgynous image. In this first-ever memoir, Grace gives an exclusive look into the transformation to her signature style and discusses how she expanded her musical triumph to success in the acting world, beginning in the 1984 fantasy-action film Conan the Destroyer alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, then the James Bond movie A View to a Kill, and later in Eddie Murphy’s Boomerang. Featuring sixteen pages of stunning full-color photographs, Miss Grace Jones takes us on a journey from Grace’s religious upbringing in Jamaica to her heyday in Paris and New York in the ’70s and ’80s, all the way to present-day London, in what promises to be a no holds barred tell-all for the ages.

Nach 19 Jahren erscheint ein neues Lebenszeichen der unvergleichlichen Grace Jones. In den 1980er-Jahren pflegte sie ihren Stil als androgynes, altersloses, ausserirdisches Wesen bis ins Kleinste. Sie war Sängerin, Top-Model, Bond-Girl und Femme Fatale. Die mittlerweile (wahrscheinlich) 60-Jährige macht da weiter, wo sie einstmal aufhörte: düstere, treibende, von Reggae-Rhyhtmen getragene Songs, denen etwas Mystisches anhaftet. äNachdem Grace Jones fast 20 Jahre komplett von der Bildfläche verschwunden war, legt sie ... das coolste Album des Jahres vor. Miss Grace Jones hat es gar nicht nötig, sich soundmässig dem Jetzt anzubiedern, sie setzt einfach ihre eigene Marke - und ist damit als lebendes Gesamtkunstwerk so zeitlos wie zeitgemäss. Für ''Hurricane'' verbündete sich die Jamaikanerin erneut mit ihren Landsmännern Sly & Robbie, mit denen sie bereits in den 80ern Dub und New Wave auf grandiose Weise fusionierteä (www.kulturnews.de). äJones Stimme ist immer noch ein Genuss und die vielen Gastmusiker spielen ihr brillant in die Kartenä (www.amazon.de).
