Grace sure can sing -but, to be honest, the vocals on this particular song is not impressive: the arrangement is way cool, but the vocal track sounds as if it were a demo. Well, we all have bad days. Paula Cole did an amazing recording on the soundtrack to 'Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil'. And Ediths version is strong.
QUIENES HAN CANTADO ESTA FAMOSA CANCIÓN FRANCESA LE HAN HECHO HONOR A SU CALIDAD. EN 1964 NACIÓ LA MEJOR VERSIÓN EN CASTELLANO QUE SE CONOCE.. FUE REGISTRADA POR EL CANTANTE CHILENO ANTONIO PRIETO. EN ELLA DEMUESTRA ESTE CANTANTE LA ESTIRPE ARTÍSTICA A QUE PERTENECE. MARAVILLOSA VOZ, EXACTITUD EN LOS SEMITONOS, AFINACIÓN PERFECTA Y GENEROSA MADUREZ INTERPRETATIVA. FUE REALMENTE UN GOLPE DE AUDICIÓN Y DE VENTAS. CON EL NOMBRE DE " LAS HOJAS MUERTAS " SU VERSIÓN ES
Singers of today need to take lessons from Grace Jones.Years ago I met her in Atlanta at Disco Club. We had a nice chat, just one on one. I am so greatful to have met her, OH those were the days.
I swear, Grace Jones was the 5th Cenobite that was cut from the film "Hellraiser", the sole basis for the decision was on the grounds that she was just too goddamn scary.
I luv this version, as I loved "La vie en Rose"...I think she's quite talented, altho' I only really liked her from '77-'80. I think she was an important asset to the disco era. But then she went real heavy & rock-based r&b. I lost interest after "warm leathette"...1980...when the tide of dance music turned away from classic disco.
@davidwalach WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR CRITICAL INTERESTS CONCERNING GRACE?! WHETHER YOU LIKE HER OR STOP LIKING HER, THAT DOESN'T MAKE HER LESS TALENTED OR LESS INTERESTING!! GRACE JONES IS A MAJOR WORLD TALENT AND DOESN'T NEED ANYONE'S APPROVAL OF HER STARDOM!!! SHE'S JUST ANOTHER PROUD SEED EMANATING FROM JAMAICA'S WELLSPRING OF FINE ENTERTAINERS IN BOB MARLEY AND PETER TOSH'S WAKE. STOP SHADOW HATING, LIKE I SAID WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR PEEVES??!!!
She played here in Perth Western Australia a few weeks ago, and was FABULOUS, knocked the socks of tired out old Bob Dylan also on the bill!!! oh she did LA VIE EN ROSE!!!
@scuddster I've seen her live a few times and she is fanfriggintastic!!! her voice is amazing, and when she sings la vie en rose!! oh my god, flawless!!!
Grace Jones goes/is beyond singing, performing, acting, you name it. She's been in the limelight since the mid 70s. More than what can be said about anything else in todays so called entertainment industry. Whatever that is.
Someone said she can`t sing? They must have mad cow disease. She`s a Performing Artist which is about a lot more than the vocal range. Grace Jones was a prime entertainer, still is.

Takes me back to 1981 sleeping on a beach at Lake Malawi under the stars... Undoubtedly her finest song which should be re-released as a single.
