“Grace Beverly Jones is a Jamaican-American model, singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. Beginning in 1977, Jones embarked on a music career, securing a record deal with Island Records and initially becoming a star of New York City's Studio 54-centered disco scene. Warm Leatherette is the fourth studio album by @gracejonesofficial , released on 9 May 1980 by Island Records. The album features contributions from the reggae production duo @slyandrobbie and is a departure from Jones' earlier disco sound, moving towards a new wave-reggae direction...” #wiki I first saw Grace Jones in #ianflemming's 1985 film version of #jamesbond #aviewtoakill where she played evil guy Zorin's lover and chief henchwoman. I hated her guts but still found her hot AF. I was 7. Fast forward to hit singles playing on #lebanese #radio I fell in love with her covers of #Piazzolla's Libertango 'I've Seen That Face Before' and #roxymusic's 'Love Is The Drug'. I found 'Warm Leatherette' in 2015 while doing one of my favorite hobbies at one of #beirut's record stores and bought it because of the title which is a song by #TheNormal aka #DanielMiller - the man behind @muterecords . The lyrics of "Warm Leatherette" reference #JGBallard's controversial 1973 novel #Crash, which had heavily influenced Daniel Miller. I got hooked on the album because of Drummer #slydunbar and bassist #robbieshakespeare's contributions to it. Old friend Kenshiro Sahn (@alklazam ) had introduced me to them when we first shared music in 2005 - their work has transformed #jamaican music. They have also worked with #bobdylan and #therollingstones to name a couple of legends.

Before adding ice it into his #penguin #cocktailshaker with ice & giving it a brisk #jiggle - located behind The Ritz now the @stjameshotelandclub (at St James's Hotel and Club, London)
