Grace Jones
In 80s we told that pop music probably gone rotten for good, and now we have nostalgia.
It was dreadful times when everyone - the men, the women and even cats and dogs used on themselves tonnes of cosmetics and hair gel.Blue and pink wasn`t a shame.It`s funny to see how all this coming back.Just ask your mom if there is something left in the attic...
Grace Jones represent the colors and spirit of "New Wave".The Kinky Star.

(Libertango)
Lyrics:
Strange, I've seen that face before
Seen him hanging 'round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the pray
Like the night waiting for the day.
Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stones
Rainy nights, on hustling boulevard
Parisian music, drifting from the bars.
Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort
Tu te prends pour qui, toi aussi tu detestes la vie.
Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone.
Dans sa chambre, joel et sa valise
Un regard sur ses fringues
Sur les murs, des photos
Sans regret, sans mélo
La porte est claquée, joel est barré

Lyrics:
Work all day, as men who know
Wheels must turn to keep, to keep the flow
Build on up, don't break the chain
Sparks will fly, when the whistle blows
Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up
Work to the rhythm
Live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm
Slave to the rhythm
Axe to wood, in ancient time
Man machine, power line
Fires burn, heart beats strong
Sing out loud, the chain gang song
Never stop the action
Keep it up, keep it up
Breath to the rhythm
Dance to the rhythm
Work to the rhythm
Live to the rhythm
Love to the rhythm
Slave to the rhythm.
