Grace Jones - The Frog And The Princess Lyrics
I was amazed when I first saw Grace Jones.
She was the first to take radical fashion out of its predictable Parisian context and bring it into the music scene, where I had always thought it belonged.
The first night watching her in Le Mouche, I had already decided to work with her.
That night, she was singing her hit song "I Need a Man" to a room full of shrieking gay bobbysockses.
The ambiguity of her act was that she herself looked like a man - a man, singing "I Need a Man" to a bunch of men.
It was so powerful. I thought she was... I thought she was great.
I photographed her in different positions.
I cut her legs apart, lengthened them, turned her body to face the audience.
Soon, I found myself living to the very fast rhythm of Grace Jones.
We would go out dancing, all night, every night.
I was completely neglecting my work.
An intense, hysterical romance developed between Grace and I.
But I ran out of money and realized I had to stop all this bullshit and go back to work.
I had this idea of using Grace as the ideal veichle for my work. She had inspired me.
On tour, we used to improvise. Thinking of an idea at breakfast and working it out directly on stage.
Black, shiny, muscular people.. ahh, aerodynamic in design.
'Twas to emphasise this belief that I painted Grace Jones blue/black.
I am no longer sure what I fell in love with; Grace or my idea of what Grace should be.
But in the two years following the birth of our son, there were nothing else in my life.
Grace let me take her over completely.
(SLAVE!)
But then I discovered that what I was making was speeding too far beyond what was there.
By the time our 'One Man Show' reached the US, I knew I'd lost her.
Oh, the action..

Is that Halston narrating?
Masterpiece, mi da un piacere sessuale!
Love it!!!!!
I dont think Trevor Horn really ever gets the recognition he deserves as a producer, especially after doing this album, which is one my #50thGreatestRecordsandAlbumsofAllTime. This Grace Jones album was the best for me from her. Period. 💯
love this
I love her forever!!!!
j´adore miss GJ
j'adore miss Grace JONES .....bel album une réussite parfaite <3
Grace Jones has been a person of interest to me for many years. Interesting that Her Brother is my Favorite Teacher of the Word of The Lord. A Genuine Lady, I now understand Her Better. She is a True Artist but KNOWS GOD. What a Person and Family. Interesting.
my fav singer of all time
Grace is one of the most amazing and unique artist ever. This particular song, and the album, " Slave To The Rhythm" to this day stands the test of time because of it's pure brilliance of collaboration. Grace always brings out such a unique presence to everything she does, and everyone she works with. Grace Jones is living art. Any true, or serious creative person knows that. Well if one does not, it's simply because they haven't discovered her yet ,and if not, it's a must.
GOOD ALBUM!!!
strange song for grace jones to write ??
