informative, full color images.
Born in 1948 into a family of ministers in Kingston, Jamaica, the
statuesque and strikingly beautiful Grace Jones lived with her
family in Syracuse, NY, before launching a career as a model in New
York City. Gaining fame as the cover girl for such publications as
Vogue and Elle, Jones's flamboyant look proved to be a hit on the
New York City nightclub circuit and she became a darling of the
disco scene, which led to a recording contract and a substantial
following among gay men. With her sexually charged, outrageous live
shows, Grace soon earned the title of 'Queen of the Gay Discos.'
When she moved to Paris in 1970, the French fashion scene embraced
her unusual, androgynous looks and, in addition to cover work, she
dominated the runways of designers like Yves St. Laurent and
befriended the likes of Giorgio Armani and Karl Lagerfeld. While
there, she shared an apartment with Jerry Hall and Jessica Lange
and became artist Jean-Paul Goude's muse - he also fathered her son
Paulo. (Grace was married twice - to a producer and a bodyguard -
and she dated Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren for four years.) But
with the dawn of the '80s came a massive anti-disco movement across
the U.S., leading to Grace Jones focusing on more new wave and
experimental-based work, putting her 21/2 octave voice to good use.
She is as known for her unique look as she is for her music and has
influenced the likes of Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Annie Lennox. In the
book, Grace takes us on a journey from her religious upbringing in
Jamaica to her heyday in Paris and New York in the 70s and 80s, all
the way to present-day London, where she is working on a new album.
