Grace Jones - Interview & Private Life - Don Lane Show 1982

Grace Jones being interviewed and performing 'Private Life' on the Don Lane Show in Melbourne in 1982.

[@IamdoechiiTV]

I think people back then had a hard time digesting who she was because she was so far ahead of her time.

[@cauliflowerpower41]

Yeah far ahead, mlre like end times bible prophecy fulfilled

I didn’t loved her from the start.

Her voice, her face, her eyes, her clothes - everything is just so perfect

[@mrbojangle6118]

As a man. I find her extremely attractive. However I don't think she would make a good partner. I think she would be unfaithful.

I would love to have met her I usually prefer meatier women but she is so strong so fierce so sensuous so sinewy good grief the sexual energy that encircles you invades you you already know there's no point in thinking that she won't attack you well I like that in a woman and this is the got it in spades

I think that she looks beautiful because no one else really looks like her. She is a fashion-icon anyways because of her unique style. And I also love her music. She is very underrated in my opinion and she should be a lot more famous than she is. Apparently good music don´t always sell that well. But she is a legend in my book. And she will be a legend forever. :)

[@maxipaz5597]

Oh she’s famous alright......

[@FreshRose-z3s]

She's so secure in who she is and has never cared about what anyone thought or said about her.

She is movie biography worthy!!! from childhood to now!!! Somebody needs to put her life on screen.

You can't do it too.

@@literallynobodyyoutubecomm4449 Stop caping for dark skinned folks talking about you wanna be one of us. Be proud of who you are. You can admire but keep all the "wishing to be like us" stuff out of it. It's patronizing, annoying, and comes off more like you're trying to tell us what you think we want to hear. Typically people only seek to flatter and appease groups they view as lesser than or victims. If that's not you, then stop behaving in this fashion.

Don Lane was another life, to have a Grace Jones and let her be herself & beautifully so. Never seen this interview, this would have been on when my parents sent us all to bed. Amazing voice, amazing personality didn’t discover her until the 80’s.

He was one of the better interviewers all the others just concentrated on how " strange" she was. He let her just go and I think he was genuinely interested. He's fun! I've seen him do other interviews , found them here on you tube.

[@swannoir7949]

Her brother ended up being a minister (Noel Jones). And she was in a relationship with Dolph Lundgren (Drago in Rocky IV). Her, Jerry Hall (former model and Mick Jagger's ex-wife), and two other models operated a very successful modeling agency in Europe. She's was so funny, darling and brought the confidence in the movie Boomerang (Eddie Murphy/Halle Berry/Robin Givens). But this is the first time I've seen her in an interview, or seen her perform, and I'm just blown away. I wish I'd had her on my radar years ago.
