Interview of Grace Jones (1985)

Day by Day, 1985: Slave to the Rhythm year

The 1985 Australian Day by Day interview meets Grace Jones in the year of Slave to the Rhythm, the Trevor Horn production that turned one song into an album-length project, with Jean-Paul Goude still shaping the image. Aggression, masculinity, femininity, desire: every topic the reporter offers comes back to her as a question. She does not explain herself into something easier to file. Short, sharp, and still useful as a plain lesson, the clip shows how to refuse translation by someone who has not understood the job, while her voice stays loud enough for the room.
