@Starkardur intimidated? She knew he just about snorted 5 lines of coke before heading on stage..she was probably just scared that he wouldn't fuck up..he did a little though..
You can not put two control freaks in the same room, Grace is too manly for Rick, Rick is too soft for Grace, don't forget, I,m Rick James bitch,LOLO!!
That was, by far, the most awesome Grammy clip I have ever watched! Now I see why Grace Jones thinks Lady Gaga is biting her style, but it's all good; we love them both.
@williewill037 In all the World, i only call 2 people my idols & heroes,#1 Stevie Wonder & #2 Rick James! According to Stevie,everybody was very upset with Rick after he made that joke,people from Motown,friends & Stevie's family,but Stevie Wonder himself,was'nt mad Stevie said he know Rick's heart, & he knew Rick was having fun. I remember watching this a kid & being mad at Rick for the 1st & only time . Rick cursed Stevie out while they were in the studio while they were recording.
@williewill037 You do know that b4 Rick made it big,he & Stevie's brother Calvin were running buddies,they used 2 get hi & fuck bitches together. In fact,Calvin's girlfriend at the time,designed Ricks outfit for the Come & Get It album. She left it in the car while she was running an errand,& somebody stole everything except the boots. So he had to wear a black t-shirt that had Rick James & Stone City Band on it & leather pants for his very 1st tv appearance.
@williewill037 Aww that shit was funny, it had nothing to do with him being high. I'm sure Stevie thought it was hilarious too...just look at that damn hat.
God that was a toughy. I'd have to say all those women clearly did have a fair shot/shake at snagging that grammy for hottest 1982 R@B/disco/hot dance, there was no off the wall WTF? asking yourself because all of them truly would have deserved it. I can't say I'm familiar with the titles of any of Jennifer Holliday's music but I've heard the ladies voice several times at the bookstore on CD's and I have to say she's amazing. Truly a legend. good for you Jen!
You dumbfuck rick! Were you stoned out of your mind or were you just being a jackass? We all know Diana Ross does Muscles, not Donna Summer, the previous runner up. though I kinda laughed with him!
@ricbowenjr - In a different year where the competition isn't as stiff, then I'd agree with you, about Patrice taking this. But with Jennifer Holiday in here, no way. Jennifer is clear winner and recording academy felt same way, as seen when envelope is opened.
Every one knows that Jennifer deserved that award that year. Good competition but she blew everyone away with her powerhouse vocals. Can you believe that Diana Ross has never won a grammy. Neither as a solo artist or with the Supremes. Thanks for the post.
That Donna Summer song was a big hit. I remember people liking it soooooo much back then. I thought it was a good song then, but not her best. It is rarely played on the radio nowadays.
Well deserved win! The competition was stiff that year with the exception of Donna Summer's song (I never heard of it, but she was a previous winner!)
Winning before doesn't mean you don't get to win again. Plus, you never even heard of the song, so how do you know she wasn't stiff competion. But I do still agree that Jennifer totally desrved to win!
Trust me she wasn't THAT AWARD WAS STRICTLY BETWEEN ARETHA AND JENNIFER..I should know my grandfather is a member of the academy and has been since the 70s..thank you sir or mam.

I have a question; Did Grace actually won a Grammy herself? Or an other award?
