Grace Jones (born 19 May 1948 ) is a Jamaican singer, actress and model.

Jones started out as a model, regularly appearing at the New York City nightclub Studio 54. Jones secured a record deal with Island Records in 1977, which resulted in a string of dance-club hits. In the late 1970s, she adapted the emerging electronic music style and adopted a severe, androgynous look. Jones found mainstream success in Europe, particularly the United Kingdom, scoring Top 40 entries on the UK Singles Chart. Her albums include Warm Leatherette, Nightclubbing and Slave to the Rhythm, and her biggest hits are "Pull Up to the Bumper", "I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)", "Private Life", "Slave to the Rhythm" and "I'm Not Perfect (But I'm Perfect for You)".

Jean-Paul Goude was responsible for Jones's dramatic transformation, the distinctive androgynous appearance, the square-cut and angular padded clothes. Goude is the artist behind many of Jones's album covers; her first two albums with Chris Blackwell and the Compass Point All Stars, Warm Leatherette (1980), and Nightclubbing (1981), which featured a charcoal skinned Jones sporting an angular padded blazer, and a cigarette in her lips
