grace jones is a very interesting person and performer, and this album showcases some of her best stuff. i love the song "la vie en rose"-i didn't even think it was grace when i first heard it. the piano part is beautiful as is the percussion. "i need a man" is another very good one, a song that would go great on the dance floor. "do or die" is actually maybe my favorite on the whole album-but buy the "fame" album and listen to the full version instead of the edited. there are also a couple of duds on this, too. "my jamaican guy" is too damn repetitous to be that much fun, and the editing on "slave to the rhythm" is sort of poor, wherease if they left it alone it would be the classic it is. other than the editing, this is worth your money.
