Slave to the Rhythm - Grace Jones

[@KamisKisses]

She has no dancers, no fancy lighting or fireworks. SHE IS THE SHOW. and the band is incredible! All hail Grace Jones, pioneer and wonder woman. ❤

[@thejuicyplum]

I saw this tour in Oakland, CA - she did this number. It was incredible. She also had fancy lighting, and while there were no fireworks there was a confetti cannon that when combined with the disco ball on her head was pretty spectacular.

[@MultiStumac]

Agree it made me cry it was so good 😢

[@franciscoestebantorrealba5422]

Cada vez que la veo me encanta y me vuelvo más joven otra vez

[@stellarocquie7957]

Yes, indeed!

[@WomenSense1]

Ms Grace didn't miss a beat! This woman is more than amazing! A beautiful Black Queen 👑.

[@adamness]

Grace Jones is the only person who could hula hoop throughout a song and have it seem completely normal.

[@bp6329]

It's only idiots like you who think it's normal

[@MizVal]

and wear those shoes!

[@gaynordurdy7689]

I rekon she does the hool hoop when she's puttin on a boil wash and de-wormin the cat

[@adamness]

@BP63 Let me see if I can find a fuck to give about what you’re saying. Nope, can’t. Now off you pop.

[@deborahswart1718]

IDD she's got the breath and stature to do it! Amazing!

[@pablosamaniego8943]

It's amazing that she was able to hula hoop and sing the entire time and not run out of air....i can't even hula hoop alone for a few seconds

[@JLPerryTV]

She is used to it. She’s been doing it for years. Plus hula-hooping is her favorite thing to do

baby...the fact that hula hoop never fell. hell I can't chew gum and walk! let alone hold a note, hula hoop and walk!! Grace Jones was one of the most amazing people of my generation...wow what a hell of a woman!

Was?

Yeah. "Was"? She just pounded it out at a festival last week. 67.Tits out and everything!

One of the greatest female performers of all time.

[@markschaumann3012]

Correct. Just lose the word "female"....

[@f.herumusu8341]

Well, certainly not for her singing. It's Trevor Horns production which made that song a hit. The vocal line consists of just four notes ... and she has still problems hitting them. And ... come on, Grace, dress up, you're 70 years old!

There is no one like Grace - her lyrics, her gestures, her voice and her act on stage is unbelievably unique and one of a kind! Truly free spirited, creative and walks her own path.

[@lasciamidasolo]

she has always been on an entirely different level. god bless this living legend

[@matthew6190]

At 67, Grace is still snatching people's edges clean off! wow such an amazing entertainer

[@theninjacat7200]

the stamina is unbelievable. you've got 'so-called singers' who grunt a few times into a microphone and call that a concert. Then, you've got Grace who is 50+ singing while hula-hooping non-stop. Oh, the stamina!

[@seesthruit]

Matthew Davidse my god I wished i hadn't missed her live at the Trocadero in SF in the 80's! I hope she tours here again!

Shes now 70

[@MelliaBoomBot]

so she is 60 here?...wow, I mean. WOW.

This performance to this song from the GREAT 🌟GRACE JONES 🌟 is ONE of The GREATEST performances I have ever watched. This woman was and still is an ICON, PIONEER, TRAILBLAZER, and A LIVING LEGEND!!!!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@SlushPile]

This performance deserves at least 100 million views as it is pure quality!

[@isrberlinerin4063]

There will never be another Grace Jones ,she stands alone on life's stage most mesmerizing and so unique in every performance it is raw natural talent never to be duplicated !

[@gibshillpics]

Amazing!!! Hula hooping , gesturing, singing and all at the same time and doing it at 63 ! I get goosebumps every time I see this video. When this song came out it was Shocking fabulous and it still is. I'm sorry Lady Gaga, but that nah nah song just didn't cut it for me. Listen how strong, and expressive this song is from the beat to the lyrics . Sorry Lady Gaga, but you never rose to Grace's level.

[@queerchoreography54]

gibshillpics yes, but lady Gaga is cool enough to agree with you, I’m sure,

[@urbanviii6557]

Absolutely true! A mere 25 years ago, it is amazing that she employed this many real musicians, playing real instruments, not pre-recorded electronic, digital shit. Probably the end of an era when live performers could actually make a living at this, besides the Big Five orchestras and the Met---and now that they are no longer being paid as of yesterday, who knows what lies ahead?

[@peigemitchell6497]

The fact she did this in stiletto's and never stopped with the hoola hoop and she was in her 70's......Wow - just wow...her voice is amazing.....now this is real art and performance....

[@renesantos1964]

Nice comment. What's stiletto's meaning?

[@JayMdesign]

.. Its not correct .. she is 62 years old .. btw .. Great Performance

pretty amazing voice for a live performance and this version of the song sounds incredible with the orchestra

[@alassanekonate522]

A woman America was not ready for , she was already modeling at age 13 , that unique look of her landed her in Paris where she began to model for high end designer during the 1970’s era , she did not stop there she went further and pursued a career in music , then came her first album “ Portfolio “ in 1977 and she sounded like wowwwwww who is this , every thing about her was different, her look , her accent , the way she dressed , the make up , the hair , an icon was born , I guess I knew because interestingly I was 13 in 1977 living my own teenage years with a certain way where I knew I was ahead of my time ,I was fascinated by fashion , American music & culture , I knew I was different and destined to greater things in life and somehow Grace jones may have impacted my outlook on life , I followed that woman for 45 years as a fan , now 58;and her 74 and I am amazed on how good this woman looks in her almost mid 70’s and how she continues to perform on stage and defying TIME !!! My favorite album remains the first “ Portfolio “ with the songs ( sorry, la vie en rose , that’s the trouble ) second best for me is slave to the rhythm , that performance on stage is worth a million dollars , only can Grace pull that kind of performance and get Wawa’s with it . May Grace live long and to more stunning appearances on stage . LOVE that woman . May O

An opera singer once told me that one of the hardest things to do is to move and sing at the same time.

[@johnbaker563]

Even harder with a hulla hoop

[@f.herumusu8341]

Maybe Grace Jones then just should focus on the singing, as that is hard enough for her. Come on, she's not a good singer and that songs melody is jut four notes! It's Trevor Horn's production, which made that song a classic, not Grace Jones vocal performance.
