Beautiful skin
She is amazing💖

Black don't crack
She had the high top fade waaaaaayyyy before it became popular in late 80's and 90's hip hop. The hair cut needs to be renamed the Grace Jones. She's truly iconic ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
IT WAS CALLED THE GRACE JONES AS WELL LOL
THIS WOMEN DOESN'T AGE.
AngelLove890 black dont crack baby
I know,isn't she fabulous?Actually Laverne Cox reminds me of her...they are both strange(in a good way) and fabulous :)
angellove890- she needs to come up with a makeup line or do a music collab
she's always had those cheekbones. she's had no work done.
i love that she has her natural chichis
Damn, anywhere you look, this hat shines!
That hat is hard for the streets
Jamaican people make the best oxtails in rice, hey grace jones I'm from NYC..
Lmao
...by PHILIP TREACY...her fave hat dude...he is so FIERCE...in her documentary...HE...is credited...BEFORE THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS...LOL....
It's so sparkly! ✨
This woman created her own lane 👏🏾🙌🏿
for herself and soooo many others
@s_.777 lady gaga outfits are inspired by Grace Jones
Her level fierceness TERRIFIED me as child, yet she was still mesmerizing and captivating. There is something from another place in the universe within her. This is what pure magic looks like.
What kind of sorcery is this??? This woman still looks amazing!!!
She's amazing
😂😂😂
@IAmReally Rene 71 yrs young to be exact
😄😄😄
@@EgyptianAmazon WOW!!
Before Rihanna, Nicki and Lady Gaga there was a true fashion icon, Ms. Grace Jones
Lamine Diallo .... And all the others inbetween. 😏
Lamine: Why do people always have to dismiss some folks to honor one lol?
Julien Castle Because the newbies believe that they are original
Lamine: Lady gaga said *in her very first TV interview* that her look was "very grace jones" and presented Jones as a model of hers several times in medias afterwards so no she didn't believe she was the first ever to do it and she admitted her influence right away. Rihanna also mentioned she was influence by Jones I believe. You're making up issues with the newbies alleged thinking here lol.
Lamine Diallo Yaaass that is so true.😁😁😁😁 Because of iconic wonderful artists Grace Jones, David Bowie etc., They enriched us with beautiful, creative concepts, full essence of music, fashion, unique plethora of artistry😀😀😀
In the mid 80s while in my early 20s I was in the Navy and on my ship they all called me Grace Jones because of my dark skin and my high top fade. I'll be 56 next month. I don't have the high top fade any more but I still have my smooth chocolate skin which I didn't appreciate then. I certainly appreciate it now
Why is it about you. GJ was on the show
@@gabesegun7966 It's not about me friend. Relax. Seeing her just reminded me of a painful time in my life and that urged me to voice my experience. I'm sorry if having a voice and sharing my experience makes you uncomfortable
I loved reading your message !
@@gabesegun7966 Why are you so bothered by his comment? LOL
As you should! Thank you for sharing 👍🏾
Grace Jones is so underrated. She is an ICON. Love her so much. ❤️
Grace Jones has NEVER been underrated!
Indeed
Agree! Music,Acting,Model,Icon Etcc.., She was Decades ahead of her time!
Grace was so before her time,that's what mad her stand out as a black women and she looks amazing,she aged beautifully wow!
Hard to believe she still look the same.
The 70s and 80s had some of the most eccentric and uber talented artists of all time. I don't think she was born before her time. She was perfect for that era
Black dont crack
I remember when she first entered my television, she scared the life outta me but after the fear subsided, I began to see her for the brilliant, artist, icon that she is..I absolutely love Grace Jones. Such an incredible, timeless treasure. ❤❤❤❤❤
I saw her at the airport going through security checkpoint and tv does her no justice. She is freaking beautiful in person. And tall
She does not look 70. Omg. She is beautiful. Wow. I hope im blessed to have such beautiful young looking face when im older.
Cutie Critty
Well then ya better get yo Bammy on!
More than her look, her energy, her attitude, and overall presentation is youthful and full of life
She's 70??
Guess it's even more proof that she is a goddess
Wait, 70?!
So true...saw her at the beach in JAMAICA...not one wrinkle on her face or her body.... looks even more beautiful with make up...
Grace Jones rocks! She was never afraid to be herself. You have to admire a woman like that.
She's the beast, for sure!
Model, singer, actress and writer. Grace has done it all and done it well.
She is truly an authentic diva and a legend, super talented.
K look
Mmm hmm
Her confidence and attitude are intoxicating. Such a beautiful person.
It definitely is
@@serpentserpent9308 chill out dude.
Keith Mcintosh chill out bro 😆
This woman is drop dead gorgeous. She is beautiful and iconic 😍💖😍💖
I always saw Grace Jones as an absolutely beautiful woman, she actually looks more beautiful now than what I remember of her from the 80’s. Always a huge fan of her❤️💐
How women look so young when they age?? Most men look too old for their age and dying faster too. Women look like 40 year olds at age 80, whats that all about? lol I want that life secret, recepie to youth. People that look very young for their age are: Grace Jones, Tom Cruise, Victoria Osteen and Joel Osteen, Sarah (Abraham's wife from Bible), Chuck Norris's wife, Halle Berry, etc. List goes on and on.
Omg I love her complexion shes midnight Black like me!
Skin kissed by the sun na...
Great way to define her
@brownbetty65 mean while most of pay for gym and go once a month feels big accomplishment 🤣🤣🤣
And absolutely gorgeous!
@Nana MIXED WITH MAHOGANY!
Can't believe she's nearly 70 years old. It looks like she hasn't aged a day since the 80's.
That's right.
Amazing
Mansa Musa Black skin is perfect
May 19th, This Age Defying Diva Turns 70!
Mansa Musa whaaaat!?!
Came back 3 years later just to give Grace props. She was a fucking LEGEND
A fucking legend indeed!!!!!@
Is
Wow she has not aged!
She is 71 and could pass for someone in their 30’s.
So beautiful, unique and such class this woman has!
Damn, she looks like she just stepped out of a time machine from 1978.
Also, I don't know if anyone else could rock that hat better than she does.
Mmm hmm
WOW her skin tone is gorgeous. Beautiful
Yes! Screw all the New Hollywood Blacks who are running to get skin bleaching fast as their feet can carry them. Wtf? Ebony skin can be so beautiful and striking and glowing 😍
@@springboard1994 IKR!!! Also black skin ages BEAUTIFULLY!!!😍
Grace Jones is #melaninrich. Where are the wrinkles and sag? Her features are so strong!
yurki aye Yessssss Love It 😍 My Black Skin is So Really beautiful
I was waiting for someone to say it! 😍
I saw her in South Florida and the energy she brought was something you experience only once in a lifetime. INCREDIBLE
Remember in A View to a Kill when she said to the dude on the airplane, "Right this way, sir." And the door opened and the dude fell out at 33,000 ft.? Iconic.
🤔😂👍
@garyroberts5778, YES great View at James Bond 👍💥💫
She is 70 next month. Beautiful! Please let me be her kind of 70 God.
Yasmin E WHAT!!!! That’s crazy Good
That woman is ageless. Damn
She looks great
Can we talk about that hat though!?!!?!?!?!?!?! 😍😍😍😍💖💛💖💖
Can we talk about that skin???
It looks like its alive and talking yo me. I ♥️♥️♥️it
Yesss baby!!
It was fabulous! 😍😍😍😍
Yaaaaasssss
I Love how she stays true to her roots, Ms Jones Jamaica 🇯🇲 loves you, one love
I always thought something was off about her but I'm now realizing it was me. I was not used to seeing such a confident Black Lady who was comfortable in her amazing skin and refreshingly forward. I can fully appreciate and embrace her at present. She is what I had no idea that I needed. 🙏Thanks Beautiful Grace❤
BET Should honor this woman!!!
Jason Clark they would never. She’s supported more by international and abroad audiences. BET is too small. Their audience wouldn’t buy Grace. She’s a MTV or VH1 girl.
Dominique Jacobs your speaking facts
BET sucks. Enough with the separatist thing. It’s entertainment. Period.
She's not hood or ghetto enough for BET
@@SandraLovesRoses Are you mad?
The melanin is popping, 70 and black is the new beautiful!
Gurl black beeen beautiful. Tf.
Good black dont crack
Black has always been beautiful ❤️
@@michaelosullivan9318 absolutely but we haven’t always believed it!
@@kimberlythomas2296 I agree with you
She still glows and has that "it" factor and that presence! A pretty rare talent. I agree she should've been in Black Panther. They even reference her in the movie. I feel like Okoye's performance was inspired by her.
She did a show in 2016 here in Brazil and it was AMAZING!! Love her energy
She was great in Boomerang! Her and Eartha Kitt! Legends!
Yes! Hilarious 😂
STRANGÉ...😆
@@caramelspice7244 omg yes 😂 and thats my real name
Annnd I like to party all the time 😂
Especially the restaurant scene
Still gorgeous, stylish and FABULOUS! Grace has not aged one damn bit! No time has passed. Amazing!
Kendra Stuckey I concur. She has not aged. Wow!!!!
Kendra Stuckey I know right. She is still beautiful and sexy. She reminded me of her playing Strang`e in Boomerang.
Lol really???
She's a Vamp
Plastic surgery! Amazing!
She is ageless and iconic. Words cannot describe this artistic force. We are blessed!
I love her voice it’s like she switches between a little bit more Jamaican, and sometimes it’s more American. It just ebbs and flows. It’s so beautiful.
It always surprised me that the American media don't give her enough relevance. She does a lot of late night shows in Europe but how long it took for her to do this one...
She's very famous in Europe and people do love her here
Not surprising to me. She's always been confident, outspoken, comfortable in her dark skin and very non-european features, plays by her own rules. Other than Johnny Carson, she was ignored.
l
@Rob Moss
American media hates that with certain people. Those traits are okay for some and not for others. She's female and black. How dare she have her own opinion and speak it with confidence!
@Rob Moss
Yes, there are many layers to discrimination. Globally, poverty is openly seen but not heard. Every country treats the poor like vermin. One obvious issue is housing. Right here in the good ole USA, people are priced out of housing. Low wage earners can only rent and much of that property is now being bought up and turned into 'luxury' apartments, condos and townhouses as well as gated communities and commercial dwellings. The few developers who want to build low income houses are legally stifled. Over and over, the courts rule against their efforts to buy property to build affordable housing. We know such housing is needed, but no one wants those properties near them. Far is near in their minds. Additionally, owners (corporations, churches and colleges included) of low income dwellings receive federal funding and yet are allowed to keep the places only livable. We know livable is subjective. Rich people dictating what's livable for the poor is absolutely ridiculously. Since the poor are vermin, any condition is livable.
Holy shit she looks like she just shot the Conan movie yesterday. Hasn't aged a day.
Black don't crack.
6:29 Only Grace Jones can rock a hub cap on her head and still look fly AF.
That hat was performing throughout the interview! 🥳Miss Jones is Classic!
In the early 80's she gave three ferocious shows over three nights at The Limelight nightclub in Montreal. I remember hearing on the radio being interviewed and speaking perfect French. Well, I went to every show and on the afternoon of the third show I was walking up Mountain going home from work and literally bumped into her. She turned, and said, "Hello, I saw you last night at the front of the stage didn't I?" "Yes," I said, "and you were incredible". "How sweet you are," she said, with that brilliant smile. Then, in all seriousness she leaned towards me and said, "Where can I get a fucking espresso?"
Omg! I love your story! Lol
Cool story! Love it! 😍😍
That was deep thanks for sharing. She is known for speaking her heart and mind.
That sounds like something she would say😂😂 I hope you got a photo with her😁
I remember in the 80's a chat show host here in the UK (Russell Harty) turned his back on her to talk to another guest...Grace smacked him up on live TV...LMAO!
That’s a beautiful woman. She stopped aging a long time ago. I love her personality.
Her type of skin doesnt age. Good treatment and genetics is the only way that could happen. Truly one of one kind of person.
@@Diplomastronaut I wished I had her genetics 🙁
She's eccentric, but very charming.
*AND
She looks immortal. I listened to her music when I was 8 or 9 or something, in the 80s, but I had her cassette tape. Listened to it over and over and over. She’s a fabulous woman, tremendous actress as well as a singer song writer. Lots a talent. Love Grace Jones.
I'm 44 years old. Why Grace Jones gotta be 70 and look younger than me?
😆😂😆😂😂😆
Black dont Crack thats all I can say
@@amaniama1774 Ain't that the truth!! But honestly I would have never expected Grace to be 70 and "look 70"...even growing up watching her in the 1980's I knew then that this woman would never age...she's just special and always been...I just knew "no way will this woman EVER look old!" She's only proved me right! I love you Grace Jones!! I'm off today, so I'm gonna check out her documentary on Netflix and I CAN'T WAIT!!
You ever just look at someone and say "this woman is gonna look good well into her 90's!" I've done that with people, some people just look like they are gonna continue to look good well into old age, ya know? And I always thought that about Grace even as a kid in the 1980's...I'd think, this woman is gonna look good in her 90's! And she's proving me correct so far!
Have any of you seen Diahann Carroll, Samuel Jackson, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight and Tina Turner lately? There are others and they are up there in age as well and definitely Black don't crack.
That hat is hypnotising me
legend27 me too
legend27 or is it the woman herself?
Everything about her but yea that hat is eye popping.
legend27 ME TOOOOOOO!!!!!
legend27 I thought it was just me.
Grace never changes. She is gorgeous! Lovely person.
JAM ROCK BABY! The timeless and always stylish Grace Jones 🖤🇯🇲
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
She's so radiant. That glitter hat is giving me life. I'm a bammy gyal too😁. Big up yuh self 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲.
Jamaica to de wurrrlll!!!
Zo L lol, I felt the same way. I was like, i need that hat in my life😂😂😂
You really need to wake up.
You really need to wake up, goldie silver
Bammy gyal? Blood fya Ta rahtid
i had the pleasure to have grace jones in my house after one of my shows and we dance and sing all night long a night to remember for ever and ever !!! she is an amazing soul ! cant wait to see the film !
Rodrigo Otazu LUCKY!!!!
Rodrigo Otazu Lucky You!❤
Lucky you Sir !
it was amazing yes
will love to have the libk
Her presence is just so captivating 🌟
this woman was unique in character & artistry in every essence of the word!
She came from an island and she look a lot like a warrior. Yes, she is the real life Wonderwoman;))
goldie silver
goldie silver she is not trans !
Not only beautiful but her mind is sharp at 70. Just Graceful
I don't know many 70 year olds whose minds aren't sharp. This isn't the 1950s and 60s when being 70 was more like 90.
Ms. Jones is a living goddess. She is example of how I to want to age mentally and physically! I love all of her movies, songs and style!
I finally get to see her in 10 days! I’ve wanted to since my teens in the 80’s.
So excited & happy she is still performing!
Stay humble girl. We Jamaicans💚♥💛 love you like fired bammy.
Opinion: I’m making jerk fish should I make cassava or festival w/my mango coleslaw? I don’t have any Jamaican friends to ask so if I could get ur input I’d appreciate it
@@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607 you can use both...just depends on your taste. I usually eat both.
Bammy is are destiny
Fryd plantain mouth watering
Yuh dunno
Look at Grace such a Beautiful Black Queen. I Love Her 👸🏾♥️🌹
*Often imitated, never duplicated*
Selfstyled, does her own make up! Always!
One of the most important image makers of our century!
Yes... I said it "CENTURY"!
She was sorely missed in the Black Panther movie.
I've worked for Grace Jones before and met Nile Rodgers, I'm very fortunate.🎼
THIS QUEEN IS EVERYTHING! BEAUTY! CONFIDENCE! STRENGTH! I’m so in love 😍
WOW 😮 she still looks that same!!! Beautiful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Baby that skin is poppin’! 🙌🏾❤️
Slave to the rhythm is still my all time favourite pop track & the way she performed it “ live” ( with a hula-hoop) for Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee anniversary party in front of Buckingham palace, was Spectacular !! 😍
her smile is absolutely everything...
DENTURE !!!
Before Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Beyoncé... there was the extraordinary and unic Grace Jones. And she still is !
35bxl she’s in a different league, like Bjork, Kate Bush, Siouxsie Sioux
Yeah Grace Jones was and is definitely alternative.
Now, THIS is what charm is! She just oozes it! I am such a fan!!
With Grace Jones,you can’t be anything else,but respectful,look at ,and hear her wondrous voice,and style! Truly remarkable,and someone,you’ll never 4-get! And may u live 4-ever! It’s in her jeans!
I love that there is still that playful/naughty side to Grace while she's (pardon the pun) gracefully aging and is lending an undeniable laissez-faire attitude to her life and work. If you read her autobiography, you'll know that many of her early antics were, shall we say, chemically enhanced. Here she seems relaxed, grateful, reflective and most importantly genuinely happy. I wish I lived near a big city to see this new docu on the Big Screen, but I'm seeing a flight-to-major-city-long-weekend in my future. Having said that, you can tell Fallon has NO idea what to say, what questions to ask. The Nile Rodgers story is common knowledge. But I'm pretty sure if I had Grace on my sofa I'd also be all like "ummm....ummmm.....ummm."
I agree with you about seeing the improvement of her easy way of life. Its inspiring. Makes you want to grasp that attitude right now and skip that downward spiral, drug abusive antics part that people choose in life. But the niles story, it was new to me. Though, I haven't read any Grace Jones autobiographies, or relavant news to know that. When I was younger, people would always tell me I reminded them of her. And I couldn't see it and hated the comparison. I just didn't get it. She's amazing
Ms Jones, U have carry yourself with grace, style, and edge. 💄📻🎤🎹
Carmel..thee perfect and on point comment of this section. Three words to all the pop bitches who ripped off her style (you could never) and with that.. I'm out!
I remember seeing the video for this song for the first time and was just so fascinated by her. I had never seen an androgynous person and seeing her artistry and regal posture was my first lesson in “ different= amazing”.
I saw her in Detroit at a small club. I will never forget the occasion. I was around 29 or so (about 43 years ago) and it was my 1st time seeing her. She was wearing a very avant-garde outfit; the top was blue and completely diaphanous. Been a big fan ever since.
Jimmy that was so cool to see Grace Jones haven't seen her in years that was awesome.
Donald Storm So Glad to see her on Jimmy Fallon! 😘
What are you on about, she performs all the time, pretty much all the major East Coast and European festivals.
Leeeeeeeegend!!!!!
Bro Capitalista yes!
The Real Queen!!
Bro Capitalista YOU KNOW!!! You Betta Ask Somebody!!!
Bro Capitalista Indeed!
That's right
Grace Jones is the truth, creative and does not allow age to stop her.
Grace Jones is amazing. She still has it; looks amazing and sounds great!!
WOW. 70 YEARS OF GORGEOUS.
She is so timeless. Not a fan of her work. BUT... I am a fan of her happiness, joy, and her positivity. Many more joy filled years to you Mrs. Jones. Respect🙏
there is no freaking way she is 70😱😱😱😱
Grace had some great disco hits in the 70's (I Need A Man/Do Or Die/That's The Trouble/Sorry/Pride/Fame), she also has worked with Eartha Kitt and Eddie Murphy. I think it's just Grace is too much for some to handle like Eartha was 😚both lovely ladies though
nononsenselogic what's wrong with her work?!?
How can you not like her music? 🎧. God damn.
nononsenselogic girl pull up to my bumper. Slave to the rythym. Lol. Yes she is is Magic
Grace Jones everybody .pull up to the bumper babes 💡🎥💃🏾...
Saw her from the front row in Manchester on the hurrican tour - electrifying stage presence.She leaned down for a photo and i had my finger over the flash!!!Aarrgh.Love you anyway Grace you are a one off!xxx
She has such good vibe! Love her work.
Living Legend 😍
You can see she still spends time at the gym. I met her once in the gym at the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris.
One true icon. She dared to be different but became destined to succeed and that she did. Love you Grace!!!
That swarovski hat has a life of it's own! Gorgeous
prettypoison111 YEEESSS HUNNI!!!
I've always thought of her as a female David Bowie in a way. She is a beautiful woman, very exotic. Oddly as a kid, I developed a crush on her after watching "Conan the Barbarian" movies on cable tv, haha.
That's not odd at all
Yes! I’ve always thought of her as the female Bowie too, though she used to scare me as a kid tbh. 😳
Bowie is the male Grace not the other way around.
Yeah, Conan!!! Lol well of course! That first scene she’s in....just wow. Fiercely fighting against a bunch of men on her own. Lol she’s still one baddddd chic.
StormLaker1975 yesssssssss. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME!!!! Idk how to explain it. Maybe both their styles. Very unique people.
I love Grace Jones! After all these years she still moving and grooving!!!!!!Super talented!, In everything she does!, she’s classy, and beautiful!, God bless you grace Jones!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
the way she used "bloodlight" to reference her professional studio life, and "bami" to reference her personal life is something else
She looks so good. Just Gorgeous! I admire and respect me some Grace Jones 🖤
That hat can defeat any headwear that pharell or boy george can ever put on.
Rii
💯 😂😂😂
Prrrrrrr lol
Grace Jones is a 🌟LIVING LEGEND🌟!!!!!! 🙌🏿👏🏿💯
She is soooo cool with her weirdness...her rawness...her wildness...her crazyness..she is just sooo AUTHENTIC MAN💜😼👍
"Strang'e" . Only Boomerang fans would get this.
YES! Strang'e!!
After birth ☠️😂😂
✋
I’m 33 years old grew up in the 90’s of course we know we know her role in boomerang
P.G. ha!
People sleep on Jones, she is a living legend, icon and everything 🙌🏾
70 age. Grace looks amazing. Yes lord.
She strikes such a powerful character when she performs yet seems to be one of the sweetest and genuine people. What a queen!
I agree she would have been superb in the BLACK Panther movie
@Thomas Brown because she’s GRACE JONES 🙄🙄
@Thomas Brown um why are you so hurt?? Do you even know who she is? It’s a ton of reasons why she should have been in there so I’m not exactly sure why you making this about skin tone 🥱
@Thomas Brown ...they MENTION GRACE...within the first 10 minutes of the movie...stop hating ...its not our fault...if you cant keep up ...WITH THE JONES....lol...
@Wanda Vision ...oh...enjoy...lol....theres tons of things about her on you tube concerts too....and her autobiography...is AMAZING....get the book...
@Wanda Vision ..OH...MY....GOD.....get it.....do not even THINK...it will just inspire you......just GET IT...
