Grace Jones (May 19, 1948)
Born in Spanish Town, Jamaica, Grace Jones ushered an entire new wave of music into American culture when she made music infusing her reggae roots with funk, punk, and pop music. Her androgynous image, which also emphasized her dark skin and Jamaican heritage, also depicted a new representation of Black femininity, particularly one of a woman who was in control of her own sexuality.
