Another gem from Miss Grace Jones!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIdSl_qpsnY

She has an absolutely stunning voice.

A shame "Hurricane", her new album, isn't in most US stores (I went to amazon.com). She's absolutely fantastic, and genre transcending. (find her other songs on youtube - you'll be going to amazon.com soon enough as well! :) )

1. My first Grace Jones album had "Pull Up to the Bumper"...
...in your long black limousine. (drive it in between)

2. so, about Grace
she's a genuine woman, right? Born female? I've always been confused by her gender. I think she purposely makes it confusing as part of her act/image.

3. I have no details about her personal life.
All I know is, she's a highly talented, unique individual, with a hell of a voice. :)

I could take some guesses, but to do so is immaterial. If not interesting, what with 'human nature' and all...

5. I think that would be the exact answer that Grace would want you to give.

6. Yes, she's a woman

She gave birth to a son in the 70's-80's(?). The song Nipple to the Bottle is about weaning him off breastfeeding.

My favorite thing in the world is her cover of Piaf's La Vie en Rose.
