- Here's a classic live performance of "Walking in the Rain" by this iconic artist, which doesn't seem to have been uploaded yet to CZcams. The song was originally penned by Australia's Harry Vanda and George Young, members of The Easybeats in the 70s, who later recorded together as Flash and the Pan. The duo were also responsible for some of Australia's biggest hit singles in the 70s, including songs performed by Steve Wright and John Paul Young. The official CZcams channel for Miss Grace Jones - a genuine artist in every sense of the word, whose performances transcend the confines of mere pop music - is here: / alawevevo

56yrs old ,here 2024 still loving Grace ❤
62 and still love her as well.
Doesn't get the respect and status she has earned as a living legend. Except from us.
Genius, I saw this performance live at the Fox in Atlanta Georgia in 1982. It was spellbinding. Grace commanded the stage alone , very simple, chic production, mesmerizing , only a strobe light, the sound of rain and fierce attitude, You couldn't take your eyes off her. This performance was unlike anything else and light years
ahead of it's time. I'm grateful to have witnessed it.
+John Doe Well said, You are completely right!!
+Stephen Hardy Man did you say that shyt right....i just reread your quote to a non believer..
well stated, and you are spot on.
"A condition of complete simplicity", as Eliot intended, is death. Never mind. I was at the 1982 performance at the Fox in Atlanta and talked to Grace Jones afterwards. Breathtaking in all respects.
Stephen Hardy wow, it's a keeper this version.
Some DO art...some ARE art...
She sang a song about being a piece of furniture lol Art Groupie
She's a piece of art. Such a surreal entity! her aura is incredible, so sensual and mysterious. Some ones don't believe in Grace because part of her image was directed by Goude, but, others women wouldn't fit in her aesthetic, some singers of today took things from her but they don't get the same result, is her aura, is her. She isn't manipulated by the aesthetic, she brings the aesthetic, the identity. My favourite human in the world.
agreed
She was always totally UNIQUE & had her very own sense of style & self confidence. She didn't need to emulate anybody, yet today, so many young artists try to emulate her, but with little to no positive results. Love you & respect to you Grace Jones.
Amen sister to dat!!!.
Such an incredible description of Grace...... She is timeless
She or he is a maniac, probably on speed. Goodbye.
One of the coolest and most intriguing songs of an enigmatic artist. Grace Jones is in a class of her own.
She has a bizarre Public Image
Absolutely!
@@patrickm8638 you love it, dont you.
The original is also good.
Flash and the Pan did this in 1978, Great song by them.
I saw this at The Cinema in San Francisco in 1982...She kept the audience waiting for over two hours...people were going crazy but she was worth the wait...one of the greatest live shows ever...I remember she was doing Warm Leatherette and knocking over the symbols..her stage hands kept trying to pick them up and she was yelling at them.. "Leave those fuckers on the floor"... Such a legend !!
🤣❤
only 2 hours?
So far ahead of her time.
yes she was!
ahead of all times..
Whoever edited this video was being funny though
The original was done by flash and the pan
This was time specific. The past never underrated her yet the future would to the point of making her a footnote in history.
I`m a fan of her, since she was singing La Vie en Rose. That was 1977 and I was 16 Years old. I like most of her songs, but my favorite song of her is and will always be Walking in the rain. Now I`m 60 and this song still put me in trance. Grace, Sly and Robby, that was musical perfection.
Private Life is also a good one 😎
Hi, this is your older brother, I was 18 then, and I felt and feel exactly like you described.
I've heard thousands of albums, and Nightclubbing is my favorite.
@@Captain-Nostromo I've Done It Again is my favorite. Never knew she could handle a ballad.
Have a nice day dear soul!
Doing what I'm doing..
30 years later this still holds well.
10 years later😂
Grace Jones covering Flash and the Pan. It doesn't get much stranger than that.
Every now and then, I listen to both versions. It's brilliance both ways.
One of the best combos in musical history was teaming up Grace with Sly and Robbie. Fantastic! atmospheric and (bar perhaps one or 2 synth sounds) Timeless!
i loved Grace at 14......i think she even cooler at 53
Grace is living art.
Miss Jones is one of the coolest people who ever lived! I just watched a fabulous doc about her. Bloodlight and Bami. You see the stage persona of alien sleekness or spooky rage but offstage she is funny, friendly, caring, frank. A must see!!
Only Grace Jones can do something like this. Absolutely awesome...
Well, Flash and the Pan can do it, seeing that they did. Having said that, Grace is awesome though.
Memories of listening to Grace on my cassette Walkman and hearing her voice get deeper and deeper as the AAs ran out of juice. J'adore Grace.
Grace inspired more children than Sesame Street
Grace achieved something that few singers/performers ever have. She has a life long career because she never for a moment forgot all the people and that brought her success. The proof is the tickets still sell out every concert she does the same as they did when she was promoting her second album, "Fame." Her mystious alluring and truly beautiful and unsual voice and her approach to music cannot be reliplicated. These are fact well known to any Grace Jones fan.
Grace Jones elevates "phrasing" to a whole another level!!! Brava!
“Feeling like a Woman.. looking like a Man🎙⛈ Perfection that IS that FACE
Definition of cool
❤️Absolutely !!! 🥂
Flash and the Pan was an Australian New Wave musical group (essentially an ongoing studio project) initiated during the late 1970s by Harry Vanda and George Young, both former members of The Easybeats. The duo's first success was their debut album with single "Walking in the Rain", which was later covered by Grace Jones.
Yes, the best is absolutely the original by Flash & the Pan whitout a doubt. I also know the Easybeats (Friday on my mind, 1967!) Thank you for your information 👍 Greetings from Italy 👋👋👋
Great song and beat
Sly and Robbie, baby
I never understood why her persona wasn't propelled into the Star Trek Genre - She exudes an other worldly being!!!!! Always Unique !!!! Always Magnetic!!!! Always Love that Mystique that she owned and no one could capture like Grace could!!!!!!
I could see Madonna borrow heavily from her...and then Gaga.
Madonna & Grace are totally different.
Nothing reminds about Grace when I think of Madonna?
Yeah shame she only got as far as a James Bond film (still stunning performance though)...
The Brilliant Nightclubbing Album.
+psylocke7 One of the best albums of the 80's by far.
Grace was (then) and remains one of a kind. At her peak in 1981 with this intro song to the amazing Nightclubbing album. Today's female music stars (in the charts) don't have the same presence individuality or originality. Any wonder that after 36 years this still sounds just as good.
Auckland New Zealand Art Gallery were playing this with video footage in 2014 when I passed through sensational folks
Back in the 70,s when I was coming out and hearing her at the major dance clubs, when I discovered there were gay bars. Man this woman was rain supreme. She had a class about her that helped me except myself and a style about her that was just so androgonist, that I could,nt help loving. Aside from the groovy tunes she was singing and a sound that made you want to dance your ass off for. I came out with her, and she was just an easy way to except myself. I love little Ms. Grace, and I know she knows it. She,s a classic and I know she knows it. Thanks for all The Young Hearts Run Free. Cause your in my ball park range baby. Love....Dennis
I have seen her in concert and this is the perfect performance of this song. What a great performer, you have to see her live to appreciate!
Diva Grace Jones in action...Light & Love...
I remember being in Paris with my walkman on, Listening to this song, It was raining. Wearing a Charles Jourdan trench coat and CJ shoes too that I had bought that day.
I was on my way to Espace Cabin to meet up for dinner with friends and my new boyfriend.
They were all there and I walked in shaking my coat off and gave my coat to the coat girl.
What a magical evening!
Thank you Grace for a great memeory that your music brings back!
Its not talking, it’s not singing, it’s both and yet neither…and it’s pretty damn incredible!
"One Man Show" is amazing, the simple set, her stage presence and the music, has to be the best concert video ever.
...and I saw the show in Stockholm - 1982? - it was great - after a so and so long delay...
She is part of an amazing tribe of people in all walks of life, stretching who we are and what we can be. Overlap with the likes of David Bowie, k.d. lang, Prince, Little Richard. Bend it like Grace, lol!
She's a phenom!!!
I'm back. Whose here kicking cans in 2024?
Awesome bass and synth
Robbie Shakespere Bass - Sly Dunbar Drums
Why have I never heard of Grace? Well, better late than never :)
You were young?
Pure artistry and totally mesmerizing.
amazing presence, she looks unreal, like a beautiful doll with a beautiful voice .
This is art.
I'm still pumping this 2020 major respect from New Zealand 🤙🏽
And 2024 from NZ
Takes time to cross the equator, eh?
Damn, someone needs to reissue the whole One Man Show onto DVD. Spectacular performance -- so stark and eerie. The songs sound even better live than they do on record: tougher and more minimal.
blu ray 4k is better
Performance art at it's finest...Only can think of one other person, so talented... Maybe more...Laurie Anderson..,..All these new ghouls....Don't hold a candle...they can't even hold, their tails....or gowns..if they wore one....
Oh man! This woman was so damn cool!! Love you Grace Jones. You're a work of art.....Genius!! Thank you for the superb musik & for givin us a true taste of the 80's. :-)
This entire one woman show cd album was one of the most creative concepts and performances of its time and in my opinion holds up extremely well even now. Talk about T.A.L.E.N.T!
I love her. really ahead of her time. Simply the best.
Grace you are bringing me back to life.
The little "96 tears" diddle on the keyboard really caught my ear first. But wow this is freaky and great!
I'm sorry, she's the greatest human being on the entire planet.
i happened to stumble on this video, i orginally wanted the ronettes 'walking in the rain'.........WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy merde. There she is. Lifelong fan.
sheer class.
She made a great impression on Australia when she came out here.She's a genius.
This is a very good cover.
Blue Zodiac Flash and the Pan made the original.
Better than the original. However in saying that the real talent lay with Harry Vanda and George Young, it was their song.
So glad I saw her - twice at different events. Amazing. Timeless. For Damon: RIP - Glad you saw her with me... ;)
Grace is so cool. A handsome woman to this day. Multi talented too
beautiful art
great performents
If you want to be a no-no then bugger off, mate. This is legendary stuff.
great live performance. When music and art were relevant.
A stunning performer if there ever was one. Pure art.
Gorgeous bass feel!
Love this track! Simon le Bon chose this as one of his faves from the 80s last night on Radio 2. Grace Jones completely iconic.
Marvellous to see this rare video. One of my favourite songs by her - together with "La Vie en Rose".
you noticed... but, how could you not? She is a mighty women by anyones standards.. I've been stoned out of my mind w her company, such good company - 'cause I could'nt stand up and leave... lol not under my own power, anyways... oh, how I lived through my 20's, and remember anything is a miracle
cheers
In case you were wondering, this is a remake of "flash and the pan"'s original, also worth hearing.
The one and only Grace Jones. You can't make this up.
Never seen this tape before, however, I have always been fascinated by Grace and since I was walking in the rain yesterday It caught my attention I just luv...the coolness of it. keep on keeping on Grace. Much Luv... SHALOM
flawless timeless sonic - beyond perfection
my favorite of hers, she just completely owns this one
I LOVE THIS SONG
so dramatic the way she prances on stage... so slowly, yet so much power.
love it... great performer!
she's a goddess. also a very talented singer. bought this album as soon as it came out bk in the day. Love the reggae influences. the musicians on the albums during this period were top notch. timeless, ms. jones!
A real trailblazer....and as usual..the best get recognized last...
Oh my gosh! I love to watch this woman sing-so different!
Grace IS art!
Queen 👑
Think of Marvel superheros. Then think of Grace coming in to the scariest period of the cold war...LOOKING GIANT AND STRONG.
She was a hero there.
What she delivered was groovy, somewhat historical (Edith Piaf) also pointed, telling the powers that be to grow up. To this day I love the magnificent freak and always will. She had a role in saving the world.
Saw Grace live in Sydney late 80’s early 90’s? at the Hordern Pavilions New year’s eve ‘Rat Party’, didn’t know she was going to be there along with most the others there that night, it was sheer xtc when she sang,what a pleasant surprise ❤
Love the bass in this and she’s just captivating.
Most probably..Best tv serie EVER!
Grace Jones was the epitome of Art Pop along with Roxy Music. Although Walking In The Rain is my favorite song that she has done. She is a fantastic performer. Her albums are awesome.
Grace Jones really does rule the world. INCROYABLE!
Ladies and gentlemen...Miss Grace Jones....
But credit also to George Young (brother of Angus and Malcolm) and Harry Vanda who wrote this, and Sly and Robbie for drums/bass/production....sublime
Good Music, iconic performer and the Longevity of it all. Absolute brilliance
Palm Beach! WoooHooo!!! We love lots, we do, we do!
holy God, this song and video inspires me every time i see it.. even years later
TheNew Tomboy
This is a song by Harry Vanda and George Young. Young had two younger brothers called Malcolm and Angus and also Vanda and Young began writing and producing the new group called... *AC/DC*.
True story.
D800Lover Yep, the flip side of Hey, St Peter. Just saw it mentioned on Blood and Thunder: The Sound of Alberts.
Grace Jones...reigns with the rain...
I love this video. Eventhough it was made in 1980 I think it is still powerfull. Grace Jones has a magnetic charme and a very strong personality. If you have the chance to see her performing live, even if you might not like her music, you will be amazed by the show. Honestly, a Grace Jones' concert is an experience not to be missed.
because it was made in the 80's it is powerfull
this is a great track for mixing.she still sells out tours and she dont come cheap
@MissCarnivale I agree and she is not spoken of enough in modern day mainstream music. its a shame
Dont Be sleeping on Grace... Truly Unique and Talented... you should check out some of her interviews... Great insight
Very cool song !
I'm a fairly new Grace fan, and this is just... oh my goodness, wow! it doesen't get any more incredible than this one performance.
One of my favourite songs from a true genius!
an understated masterpiece .....
I always forget about this song.
Those were the days, punk had expired but we still had Grace Jones, PIL and Blondie to keep us alive.
And speed, lots of speed.
She is a diva of time and space x
