Saw Grace Jones on Jools Holland last night. New song was ok but so pleased she played Slave To The Rhythm, one of my all time favourite songs. Hats off to the much maligned Trevor Horn for a fantastic piece of production cheers

Yeah she's really cool. I liked her performance of Slave last night, it was really theatric!

Missed it, but I love "Slave" and "Pull Up To The Bumper".

Trevor Horn certainly isn't much maligned in my house... Art of Noise, 808 State and even Yes's "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" are all favourites round here. Fantastic producer.

Also a great singer on Yes's Drama!

I'd forgotten he (briefly) joined Yes in the 80s... he was also behind The Buggles (Video Killed The Radio Star), in fact I think he sang lead vocals on it!

Interestingly, the keyboard player on Drama was Geoff Downes - the other 50% of the Buggles! :S Terrific album in any case. And Trevor Horn went on to produce the following Yes albums of the 80s. Grace Jones... wonderful.
