@errborn1, I actually "copied" that line from the 1 and only Ms. Grace Jones herself when she was asked about some of the entertainers out there in "music" today, her reply was that there are too many "copycats". enuff said
I wasn't there but I trully believe that anyone that was, and if they're watchin' this right now, they must feel such nostalgia... I bet those were the times...
Hi TheCopleasr! Then we must have met because I made a bunch of videos for David. I should be posting them soon. One was the Pride Parade in NYC, and another was in San Fran. Then I made another one for the song "I Am The Freedom Maker" Remember that? XO
@1tikimug Hi TheCopleasr! Then we must have met because I made a bunch of videos for David. I should be posting them soon. One was the Pride Parade in NYC, and another was in San Fran. Then I made another one for the song "I Am The Freedom Maker" Remember that? XO
my first job during my freshman year at Parsons School of Design was for David Spada...I would grind the ends of all those aluminum rings for him. He was so nice, had a big heart and was pure genius. I miss him and the 80's in general !!!
With all due respect to Grace Jones, and in her case her due respect is mad respect, I take issue with Lady Kier being labeled a "copycat" of anyone. Grace may have preceded her, but Kier broke out w/ a style and sound all her and Deee Lite's own.
I was at that party.In fact I met Grace's Mum and sister as well as her son at her Bank street Loft.Franklyn Rowe designed for Grace.I even accompanied her to a performance at the Garage 1986, rode in the limousine with her and entered through the back entrance.I was a young man then pursuing a career in fashion photography. I even worked with the original Details Magazine as well as Jill out of Paris.Those were great times.Both Grace and I are from Port Antonio Jamaica. J'adore Grace Jones
I am SO glad that full face makeup came back in style very recently because look at those to ladies. their faces are beat. Beaten up, beaten to death. Call the police because a fight broke out basically. You can't achieve that with nude and neutral! LOL
Deee-Lite looks sooo....... Delightful. All I have left is my imagination. And Grace is just out of this world. She could hurt a MF. The eighties were great. I wish I could re-create that time.
The man look was her look dumb ass. She is a entertainer you have to have a gimmick.Grace Jones went to college to be a Spanish teacher and she had a twin brother who looked just like her.People think she's dumb but she's not. She went to college and graduated. She came up with something different and it worked. The people that don't like her ,she don't care because she has enough that do.She's only for the creative and hip people.If you have no style you want get it.
such talent in a small room- god I miss these days- wish I was there for this NYE show- Thank you Deee-Lite and Grace Jones - your music helps people grow and have fun in their lives
wow! this is what youtube is all about,was this the garage? much bright young talent was extinguished in this era, takes time to recover,but it will! thanks for this insight kieth haring R I P
I've been listening to the Great Dee-Lite, and have re-remembered just how great Miss Kier is...and then to have Grace AND Kier in the same room! Fabulous!
I went to this concert with my friend Elizabeth, we were fresh outta highschool I believe. This concert was great! We were standing so close to the stage. And the Paladium, my goodness they just don't have clubs around like that anymore. My,my,my...how time has flown. That was a great New Years Eve.
Grace Jones was definitely ahead of time. Many years ago I thought that she was just eccentric. But now I realize she is a brilliant and talented artist with her own individual style that has been imitated by many other artists, including Lady Gaga.
I can't believe it was 19 years ago! Where did all that time go?
What a fun night and Grace and Lady Kier and Dmitri were very fun to be around. I miss David Spada. He worked with Kieth Haring a lot. This video is one of four I made for him around this time -highlighting his business.
@sophistipunk - it was as much fun to make as it is to watch! Did you watch the other two videos of her performing? The second one, I'm Not Perfect But I'm Perfect For You, has two guys changing her costume during the act. Very cool. Thanks for the comment.
@1tikimug Beautiful footage, special moment. Gives me chills. Lady miss Kier, so charming & pretty. Reminds me of Marilyn Monroe. And Grace Jones, such power on stage. The costume change is amazing.

hey this video was recorded in a ordinary single CCD S-VHS camcorder, the picture quality is very strange, but Dee lite and grace Jones together is so fine...
believe it or not lady keir is legendary! and its not about these ladys "hits" that made them a legend in my opinion. grace is an iconic figure in fashion and music and i feel dee-lite made her impact on the music scene as well! they dont make artist like lady kier anymore..its sad!
I love both of these women. They have brought me and mine much joy. XO from New Orleans, and thank you for posting. (As our Carnival costume demands approach, and I feel like half-assing it because this City is so broken; but this vid reminds me to DO IT UP because sharing is caring.) All love.
Thank you 1tikimug for uploading this video, what great backstage footage. Too much Lady Miss Kier and Grace at the same time, wish I would have been there.. too sweet!
They are SOOO high in this clip. I think I just caught a buzz watching them. The close ups of Grace putting on her makeup show just how beautiful she is. What the hell ever happened to Dee Lite?? GREAT clip
