Grace Jones
Grace Jones (born 19 May 1948) is a Jamaican singer, lyricist, supermodel, record producer, and actress. 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. In 1984 she made her first mainstream appearance as Zula in the fantasy-action film Conan the Destroyer alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sarah Douglas, and subsequently appeared in the 1985 James Bond movie A View to a Kill as May Day. 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.
Grace Jones (supercentenarian)
Grace Adelaide Jones (7 December 1899 – 14 November 2013) was a British supercentenarian, who was the oldest verified living person in the United Kingdom and the world's seventh oldest living person until her death at the age of 113 years, 342 days. She was the last known living British person to have been born in the 1800s.
Biography
Jones was born in Bermondsey, London on 7 December 1899, one of eight siblings. She never married, but was engaged before her fiancé Albert Rees was killed in World War I at 19. Jones said that she never married as she never found anyone as nice as Rees.
Personal life
Jones attributed her longevity to "'good, English food, never anything frozen", and lived alone in a flat in her native Bermondsey. On 2 December 2011, five days before her 112th birthday, a thief broke into her flat and stole her £300 pension. Another attempted robbery occurred the following day. On her 112th birthday she remarked, "I don't know if I can recover. It takes its toll. He got in and he robbed me. Another one tried on Saturday to get in. I'm frightened." A third burglary happened on 24 January 2012. A man was arrested in connection with the latter two burglaries and sentenced to jail.

Love is the Drug
by: Grace JonesTain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
Tain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated, spare for days
Stroll downtown in the red light place
Jump up, bubble up, what's in store?
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl and the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't stay free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh, catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of
Yeah, can't you see?
Love is the drug for me
Tain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
Tain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Limbo up, limbo down
Locked embrace, stumble round
I say, "Go", he say, "Yes"
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Yeah, catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of
Yeah, can't you see?
Love is the drug for me
Tain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
Ain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated, spare for days
I stroll downtown in the red light place
Jump up, bubble up, what's in store?
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
The boy meets girl and the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can't stay free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh, catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of
Oh, can't you see?
Love is the drug for me
Baby, got to catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of
Oh, can't you see?
Love is the drug for me
Oh, I've got to catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of
Baby, can't you see?
Love is the drug for me, oh
Tain't no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
Tain't no big thing
The toll of the bell
Yeah, got to catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of
Oh yeah, can't you see?
Love is the drug for me
Yeah, I got to catch that buzz
Love is the drug that I'm thinking of
Got to, got to, got to, got to get that buzz
I've got to, got to, got to, got to get that buzz
I've got to, got to, got to, got to get that buzz
Gimme baby
Got to have that
Got to have that drug
Got to have that buzz
Got to have that drug
Got to have that buzz
Got to have that drug
