She commanded attention as she performed “I’VE GOT TO LIVE OR DIE”.The next song was “LA VIE IN ROSE”. I caught her live in conceert twice; Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A, 1982, where I placed a magnificent hat on her head. And Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. @ 1998; I was in the back of the packed house and started singing at the top of my lungs, “I”M WHAT YOU WANT…I”M WHAT YOU NEED”. As the people turned around to see where the singing was coming from, I squeezed my way through them and ended up front and center in no time flat.

Yes, that should be commended as well because without her defying your interpretation of good sense, Black women would never have been recognized or accepted in the fashion world. Without her, there would be no Tyra, No Noami, No Beyonce, No Rihanna. Grace was fearless and because she was fearless and undefined, she allowed the possibility for others to be undefined. Of cours, you being a Christian, would probably feel more comfort in the expect roles of Hattie McDaniels or the role limitations of Diahann Carole. However, give her credit because at least I as a black woman was allowed individuality. Individuality that is slowly being destroyed and returned to the role of sapphire.
Climb out of your ivory tower and join the rest of us in the moat below because being a christian, doesn’t make you any better than she is, when you use it to judge.
If you want to get technical, Noah was a drunkard, Solomon was a whore, Mary Magdalene was a prostitute and I could go on. Don’t be such a hypocrite!

To put THAT flawless, gorgeous skin on top of THOSE cheekbones and stack it on THOSE LEGS…whew! God was really doing his thing with GJ!

“Pull Up to My Bumper” is still the jam. I used to work at Starbucks, and I knew the company was growing up when I heard THAT on one of our HearMusic discs!
