gold star for USAHOF

495. Grace Jones

When it is said that a musician redefined sexuality, it could be argued that this statement could only meant for Grace Jones. Her androgynous beauty, swaggering confidence and aggressive vocals helped alter Dance music at the advent of the 80’s. Jones shifted away from music to concentrate on a film career, but had she focused primarily on music, she likely would have been ranked higher or have had a better shot to get inducted.
