This song is genius, especially the counterplay between the gospel 'Let me go' and the demonic 'I got the Williams' blood in me' showing the conflict in Grace's bloodlines. Grace doesn't anywhere get enough credit for the intelligence and imagination all her songs express.

People get caught up in their fear of a black persona that is strong and hard, and forget to see that the music is every bit as fierce. She's a role model.

astrophonix This song was a BEAUTIFUL collaboration between Grace Jones and famed former Prince And The Revolution musicians Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. Wendy and Lisa have had a few albums out and write lots of music for Tv shows and are incredibly talented. They ADORE Grace Jones and really enjoyed with working with her

Great analysis, by those lyrics you can tell she grew up in the church and was forced to go that route in life, but being the rebel she is she did not go the church route, instead she pursued a music career with her Christian mother constantly comparing her to her siblings, wanting her to be like them, but she couldn't be like them because she was destined to be Grace Jones the legendary. My state of rebellion brought me here today, so glad she's a rebel like myself I love this woman.

...what did it for me is....this as you know is about a dialogue she had with her mom...she got her mom to do a background vocal for the record version of the song...GENIUS...

Grace is the best kept secret in the music industry. The truth is she really can sing. Sometimes she does that 'talking over' the track that some people think isn't singing. But when you study a lot of successful music artists, it's surprising how many of them do this. It's a valid course in Rock music, in Hip Hop. Many forms of music. But listen closely. Grace sings! She hits the notes. She holds the notes. She's not faking that. And to that live and to keep it up for a whole performance is not just a feat of stamina, it is a feat of talent. Maybe you need to be a music producer and to have worked with a few singers who couldn't hold a candle to Grace. But those in the know hold her in high regard. Nobody who has ever worked with serious talent would ever slag Grace Jones off. She is the real deal. Probably one of the most under-rated and under-estimated artists ever. Why do you think 'chumps' like Sly and Robbie and Trevor Horn and Chris Blackwell took her so seriously? Because she was a puppet? Or because she brought something true and unique to the table for them to help fashion in to something great? Listen to her records. They have never been bettered. The fact she can cut it live and gives good performances is the icing on an otherwise delicious cake. Grace is the best. In fact, she may even be THE BEST!

Ummm get with it people! The way you respect is to learn! Jones and Williams are common names for Jamaiican natives. The brilliance and beauty of this song is Grace (as a Jamaiican) confronting every part of herself, as she sees it. She's a Jones, but she has Williams blood in her. She knows where she came from, but can't exactly be sure. It's Jones vs Williams in her, but any combination can result in something incredibly beautiful....

Unfortunately, Amy left this world too soon...Grace Jones had her addictions, ups and downs, but she went near the abyss and then she realized. Her epic lovestory with Dolph Lundgren was a big bang (sometimes, literally...), But there was passion there. She had her son with the great Jean Paul Goude, who gave her the opportunity to express her personality through his Art and it was and will be AMAZING. Saw her in several interviews, she never changes her personality. Well, she will be 74, but she is History and will be remembered. Her son is cute and smart, Huge potential from the two parents! wishing them all the best, 💐 to Amy. What a talent.❤️👍

There was "James Bond" festival going on there at the time and a boat load of all the characters, both good and bad were there. Miss. Grace was SO kewl and really nice! It was like a vision I'd never seen! Loved Her! Saw Ursula Andress at breakfast one morning a table away. She looked damn good too for her age.
