Grace Jones is one of those multi-talented people who can pretty much do what they want. In her case, she's a model, an actress, and a singer.
In 1981, Jones released her funky, international dance hit "Pull Up to the Bumper," from her popular album Nightclubbing.
Part of what made the song so great was the participation of reggae music's greatest rhythm section, drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare, who proved they could do funk as well as reggae.
Jones has had a lot of great hits during her lengthy career, but, as far as I'm concerned, "Pull Up to the Bumper" is the best thing she ever recorded.

I could see that. She's not for everyone. No one is, really.

Grace Jones was one funky creature. Remember when she was in the Bond movie?

I do. I didn't think it was that good of a Bond, but I liked her. Of course, I'm a fan, so I would.
