Eb
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 La Mouche,
I had already decided to work with her
Ebm
Eb
That night, she was singing her hit song "I Need a Man" to

a room full of shrieking gay bobbysockses
