She was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica and raised by her grandparents. At 13 she moved with her siblings to their parents' home in Syracuse, New York. Jones started out as a model, initially in New York state, then in Paris, working for Yves St. Laurent, Claude Montana, and Kenzo Takada, and appearing on the covers of ''Elle'', ''Vogue'', and ''Stern'' working with Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, and Hans Feurer. In 1977 Jones secured a record deal with Island Records; she moved into dance and new wave music, often collaborating with the Compass Point All Stars. She scored Top 40 entries on the UK Singles Chart with "Pull Up to the Bumper", "I've Seen That Face Before", "Private Life", "Slave to the Rhythm" and "I'm Not Perfect". Her most popular albums include ''Warm Leatherette'' (1980), ''Nightclubbing'' (1981), and ''Slave to the Rhythm'' (1985). She appeared in some low-budget films in the U.S. during the 1970s and early 1980s. Her first mainstream film was the 1984 fantasy-action film ''Conan the Destroyer'' alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sarah Douglas, and she subsequently appeared in the 1985 James Bond movie ''A View to a Kill''. In 1986 she played a vampire in ''Vamp'', and acted in and contributed a song to the 1992 Eddie Murphy film ''Boomerang''. She appeared alongside Tim Curry in the 2001 film ''Wolf Girl''. In 1983, Jones's ''One Man Show'' was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Long-Form Music Video. For her work in ''Conan the Destroyer'', ''A View to a Kill'', and ''Vamp'', she was nominated Saturn Awards for Best Supporting Actress. In 1999, Jones ranked 82nd on VH1's ''100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll'', and in 2008, she was honored with a Q Idol Award. Jones influenced the cross-dressing movement of the 1980s and has been an inspiration for artists including Annie Lennox, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Lorde, Róisín Murphy, Brazilian Girls, Nile Rodgers, Santigold, and Basement Jaxx. ==Biography and career== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grace Jones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
