Nangona kunjalo, le dolophu enkulu yaseJamaica incinci kangangokuthi ayikhumbuzi isixeko nonke. Kodwa nantsi icawa eyaziwayo kakhulu kwiindawo zaseCaribbean - iCathhedral yaseSt. James, itempile endala yeAnglicane ngaphandle kweNgilandi. Yayiyo le nkundla eyadlala indima ekhethekileyo ekupheleni kukaGrace, kuba uyise wengane esanda kuzalwa, uRobert Jones, wayengumbingeleli wale tempile kunye nombhishophu waseJamaica.

"Ndizalelwe kwintsapho enokholo kakhulu," ukhumbule umculi nomdlali we-actress uGrace Jones kwiimemori zakhe "Iphepho likaNyasha".
Ndikholelwe , iJamaica yindawo enhle kunazo zonke emhlabeni, iparadesi yangempela kubathandi bokuphumla nokuphumula. Kodwa ukuba uyihlo ungumbhishophu, ubomi apha bungeke bubonakale bunjenge-gay. Yonke yobuntwaneni bam besidlulile kwaye bephantsi kokulawula. Andikwazi ukwenza nantoni na into engcolileyo kwaye ingenangqondo, andinakugqoka iingubo zokugqoka, ingoma iingoma ezidumileyo, ukufunda iifenethi zothando, kunye nokudlala nabantwana bommelwane. Abazange bavunyelwe ukugqoka iingubo zokugqoka, kodwa babefanele baphuphe ngokugqoka iingubo zabo. " Into kuphela eyayingenokwenzeka ukuba umculi omncinane nomdlali we-actress uGrace Jones ukuya esikolweni kwizifundo, ukuya ecaweni ukwenzela ukufunda nokufunda iBhayibhile.
Konke oku akuzange kunikezele ngakumbi, kodwa akazange aqwalasele ezinye iindlela, kwaye, ukunyaniseka, ukuphepha. Ininzi kubo bonke, ubaba wayethand 'ukusongela nge-rasta-manami, awayejonga ngayo uSathana kunye nokuziphatha kwazo zonke izono emhlabeni. - Yaye ukukhulisana kwakuphumelele kakhulu - ebuntwaneni bam besendleleni esasisitalatweni kukho abafana ababonakalayo benama-pigtails-dreadlocks. baleka ukuba bafihle phantsi kombhede, imithandazo yokudumala, kwaye nangona ndandiselula ukuba ndibaphephe ... "
Ngowe-1962, iJamaica yafumana ukuzimela kwiBukhosi baseBrithani, kwaye ama-radicals avela kwi-National Party yaBantu afika emagunyeni kweli lizwe-awona ma-rastamans awakhutshwa nguMphathiswa weBhishophu uRobert Jones. Engathandi ukubekezela ukuhlukana ukusuka kwisixeko esikhulu, wagqiba ekubeni ahambe ngokukhawuleza eMelika. Okokuqala, umbhishophu nomfazi wakhe kuphela baya eU.S., kunye noGrace, kunye nabazalwana kunye nodadewabo, bahlala benakekelwa ngumalume wakhe. Ubaba wethu wayengumfundisi, unenkani ngaphezu kobawo, "ukhumbula uGrace. Nangona kunjalo, umcimbi awukho kwinkolo, kodwa kwinto yokuba umalume wayehlala efuna ukuthobela imimiselo yakhe engenamfama, kwaye kuphela ilizwi lakhe lalingumthetho. Wenza ngamanye amaxesha ngeendlela ezikhohlakeleyo.
Ngenye imini, ndiyakhumbula , wasitshitshisa kakhulu kunye nomntakwabo ngenxa yokuba sivule ukukhanya ngaphandle kwemvume yakhe. Wathatha intambo yombane waza wasitshaya kwada kwaphuma igazi. Kodwa ngaloo mini ndafunda esinye isifundo, kungekhona omnye umalume owayenethemba. Ugogo wethu wagijimela ukukhala kwethu, okwaba neminyaka engama-93 ubudala. Wathabatha ingcingo kumalumekazi wakhe waza waqala ukuwuqhawula, kwaye wema ngaphandle kokuphazamisa, kunye nokuthula, enyanzelekile-ewe, kuba wayengunina. " Emva koko oko kwenzeka kakhulu kumgudu uGrace omncinane, kangangokuthi ixesha elide wayenza isimo sengqondo sokuvukela kunoma yiphina inamandla. "Ndihlala ndizama ukuba ngumfazi oqinileyo njengogogo, onokukhaba itoni nawuphi na umntu!" - utsho. Okumangalisa kukuba, ezo ndlela zemfundo azizange zijike kwimfundo yenkolo yomntakwabo ongumKristu, owaba ngumfundisi. Namhlanje, ungumdlali ovelele weengoma zeendaba zezenkolo, esebenza eUnited States phantsi kwegama likaMfundisi uNoel.
Xa umculi nomdlali we-actress u-Grace Jones beba neshumi elinesithathu, yena nomntakwabo baya kubazali babo e-US - edolophini yaseSiruse, kwimeko yaseNew York. "Ndinguye kuphela intombazana emnyama eklasini, kwaye ootitshala bethu bandibiza kunye nomntakwabo" abagulayo "," ukhumbula. "Ndafunda izifundo ezimbini kuphela kwesi sikolo: okokuqala, ndaqala ukuzonda ixesha ukususela nge-9 ekuseni ukuya kutsho emithathu ntambama-kanye ngelo xesha iiklasi zaqhubeka. Okwesibini, ndafunda ukufihla iimvakalelo zam. Kungakhathaliseki ukuba ndibi kangakanani, kungakhathaliseki ukuba ndihlaselwa njani, awuyi kubona iinyembezi zam. Ndihlala ndimomotheka, ndiza kubonakala ndiwunqobile. " Izilingo ezifanayo kunye nokuhleka usulu uGrace wanyamezela de wakhula kwaye waba mhle kakhulu. Ubuncinane de yaba yinto yesondo. "Nge-elishumi elinesibhozo ndafumanisa ukuba ndinemilenze emide eqhuba bonke abafana kwiindawo eziphambeneyo. Ngaphambi koko, andizange ndiyithande, kodwa kunoko, utata nomalume bam fundisa ukuba umzimba wam untoyiki, kwaye zonke iingcinga zothando lwenyama ziyisono. Kwaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndenze ixesha elilahlekileyo, ndiyitshabalalise yonke into evunyelwe ngabazali kunye namabhaso. "
I-tab yokuqala, eyayiyitshabalalisa , yayiyimfundo. UBawo wayephikisana kakhulu noGrace ekuqhubela phambili izifundo zakhe - ngombono wakhe, intombazana ye-Jamaican bishop kufanele ibe ngumfazi wombingeleli kunye nomfazi wendlu oyisibonelo. Kodwa uGrace wabalekela ekhaya waza wangena kwiYunivesithi yeTheatre. Kule meko wayencedwa ngokungalindelekanga ngumama wakhe, owathi ngaphambi kokuba umtshato wakhe ube ngumdaniso oyingcali. Kubonakala ukuba, uMarjorie Jones uye wagqiba ngolu hlobo ukuhlawulela umsebenzi wakhe owonakele ngenxa yomyeni wakhe. UMarjorie wakwazi ukumgxeka, kwaye ubaba wavuma ukuhlawula imfundo yakhe yentombi. Kungekudala, uGrace onomlenze omdala waqaphela, waza waqala ukufuna ukumema ukuba asuswe kwiintengiso.
Ngomnyaka we-1973, uGrace naye wathola inxaxheba yakhe yokuqala yefilimu - kwakuyi-box box fighter "Imfazwe yaseGordon", apho uGrace wayedlala umthengisi weziyobisi. Ngomnyaka ofanayo, waqala umsebenzi wokuzibonakalisa - wathatha inxaxheba kwimiboniso yeqoqo esuka kuPetty Cardin, wathandwa nguHelutut Newton ngokwakhe. "Emva koko ndagqiba ekubeni ndibe ngumzekelo," ukhumbula uGrace. - Ndadlulela eParis ndaza ndaqeshisa indlu-okanye kunoko, sasiyitshilela emithathu: Mina, Jerry Hall noJessica Lange. Kwakungeyona indlu, kodwa umgodi wangempela, kodwa sasihlala phakathi kweParis. Akukho nto yokuba isaphulelo salo ngcola sasinokuba phantse yonke imali eyayifumana, kodwa saziva ngathi sihlala phakathi kwehlabathi. Ndisoloko ndibizwa ngokuba "ngumkhiqizo wenkcubeko yaseMelika." Oku kuthetha ukungafihli. Ndandisoloko ndiziva ngathi ngumhlali weLizwe Elidala, ndakhulela kwizithethe zaseYurophu, yaye kwakuseParis ukuba ndikhulile kwaye ndiyazi ngokwam umntu njengomntu. Ndiyimveliso engama-100% yenkcubeko yaseYurophu. " Oku kwaqinisekiswa kwakhona, xa uJonas eya kuzama inhlanhla yakhe kwi-business model ye-United States. Umbuzo awuzange wabuzwa ngoko nangoko: abahleli bamaphephancwadi wamadoda bamfumanisa uGrace kakhulu kwaye unamandla ukukholisa umMelika ophakathi.
Kwesinye sezibonakaliso kwi-"panther yasemnyama" ephakamileyo yaqwalasela umqambi wokuqala wefashini uJean-Paul Gaultier, owayesebenza iKardin. KwakunguGauthier owazisa umculi kunye nomdlali we-actress u-Grace Jones kumntu owaba ngumhlobo osondeleyo kaYones kunye nenkwenkwezi. Kwakuyinto enkulu yeAndy Warhol, sele sele ihlambulukile kwimida yezuko. NjengoGauthier khumbula iminyaka kamva, "uWarhol wanqotshwa nguGrace kwiminithi yokuqala kwaye wamemela ngokukhawuleza ukuba enze uchungechunge lweefayili - malunga neminyaka engamashumi amabini phambi koMarilyn Monroe."
"Ubabalo bandilimaza entliziyweni," uAndy Warhol wabhala kwincwadi yakhe. Kwaye iiyure ezimbini sahlala kwaye sathetha, nokuba kunjalo, wathi, kwaye ndandimjonga ubuso bakhe. Emva kweeyure ezintathu ndaqonda ukuba ndifumene i-museum entsha. Wayetyala ngokuzenzekelayo umoya ojikeleze yena nombane, amehlo akhe nomzimba kwakumangalisa kangangokuba ulusu lwam lukhwela. "
Kanye kunye noWarhol, uGrace waphindela eNew York ukuba abe ngumvakalisi osisigxina kwiqela leenkcukacha zobusuku bendwendwe i-Studio 54. Kwakuyiziko lemveli elisekwe ngabashishini bezobugcisa uStephen Rubell noJan Shrager ekwakhiweni kwexesha elidala le-New Yorker kunye ne-studio ye-CBS, apho zonke iinkwenkwezi zaseMelika zaqala imisebenzi yazo. Umfanekiso ofanayo uphuhlise kwaye iqela le-Studio Studio 54 - yindawo apho "iinkwenkwezi" zalala khona. Kuphumla kunye nokuzonwabisa kwabo bonke abacebileyo nabadumileyo, ama-sheikh aseArabhu ayelungele ukwenza iiyure ezininzi zeenqwelo zokuhamba ngeenqwelo zomntu, ukuchitha iiyure ezimbalwa apho, bonke baya khona. Njengoko umnini wezinto ezingenangqondo echaza uSteve Rubelle wathi, "ukuba awuzange ukwaziwa kwi-Studio 54. Akukho mntu wayazi." Ikhowudi yokugqoka, ukulawula ubuso obunzima kunye nesidingo sokukhawuleza njengoSteve - kukho ezo zinto zavula umnyango ngaphakathi. UGrace Jones wanqoba i-Studio 54 kwinqanaba lokuqala.
Ebusuku bonke , iidrama ezibuhlungu zidlala kwiminyango yebhula, "ukhumbula. Abantu bekulungele ukuthengisa umphefumlo kumtyholi. Ndabona enye ibhinqa lehlabathi linikezela ukuba lihlambe i-naked, ukuba lalivunyelwe kuphela, kwaye enye indoda yada yenyuka isitshini. Yintoni eyabhangayo apho? Abantu, umculo, umoya weklabhu, iphunga lezesondo, ubukumkani benkcenkceshela, umkhosi ongapheliyo. Kwiqela ngalinye, abanikazi beklabhu batshintshe ngaphakathi, kwaye zonke iindwendwe zivakalelwa kukuba ubusuku bonke uya kwindawo entsha. Usuku oluninzi lweli qela laliyindlu yesibini. U-Andy wayesoloko esesitheni sakhe esithandayo kwi-lounge, kwaye ukuba wawungekho, ubusuku obubodwa, wayeya kuthi: "Ewe, uphoswe yinto efanelekileyo kakhulu." Kwaye ukuba u-Andy ngokwakhe engakwazi ukuza, wavuma ngengomso kakhulu ekuseni kakhulu waza wabuza malunga nokuba yintoni into. "
Izihlobo zakwa- Grace ezamthobelayo zacaphuka kwindlela intombazana yabo yaxoshwa ngayo. Incoko ngokukhethekileyo yayisithanda uMzalwan 'uNoel. "Sasinobudlelwane obunzima," kubhala uGrace. "Unomdla njengoyise nomalume." Ngamaxesha ambalwa wandibhalele obala ihenyukazi elibi kunye nomzimba woMchasi-Kristu, kwaye, ngoThixo, ngaloo mzuzu ndifuna ukumbetha aze abulale ubuso bakhe bonke. Asizange sithethe iminyaka emininzi, kodwa ngelinye ilanga ndamxelela oko: phulaphula, mzalwana, eneneni, ndinobudlelwane obuhle noThixo, iNkosi iyazi into endiyiyo. Kodwa oku akuthinteli ukuba ndikholelwe ekuzalweni komphefumlo okanye kwimilingo ye voodoo. "
"Ixesha leNkwenkwezi" UGrace Jones weza kwidlanga ngokuhlonipha iNew 1977. I-Shreger ne-Warhol ndawonye bahlele umboniso ngomoya weeskithi zentsebenzo: iiskithi zeesksi zeeskiti, i-mermaids kwi-trapezoids kunye nomdaniso womdaniso weentliziyo. UGrace ngokwakhe waya ebantwini behamba nge-naked, okanye kunoko, indlu yangasese yayingumtya wolunye. Wayehamba kunye nepakethe yabafana, ababonisa iintaka kwiikholeji, u-Grace wabo ubakhokela emaketanga. "Emva koko, kwiminyaka yama-70, sonke sasithanda ukuzonwabisa, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha lo mnandi uphelele kakhulu," kusho uGrace. Kodwa, kholwa kum, kuthatha ingqondo enzulu, ukusebenza kanzima kunye nokwenza kakuhle, ukwenzela ukuba iqela liyakubona kuwe ukuba umdlalo odibeneyo ongavunyelwa ukuba ube ngumntu ohloniphekileyo. "
Kwaye uGrace wayesebenza ngokungakhathali. Ngowokufanayo ngo-1977, wakhulula i-albhamu yakhe yokuqala yePortfolio-ingxube exotic yamaxesha omdala omculo wexesha le-jazz kunye neendlela zokufowunela. Udumo lweLPs olulandelayo kunye no-Muse bamzisa indawo "ye-disco goddess" yehlabathi. I-albhamu eyimpumelelo nangakumbi i-Warm Leatherette ne-Nightclubbing - kwi-albhamu yokugqibela, uGrace wahlabelela kwinkampani yeenkwenkwezi ezifana ne-Iggy Pop, iSting, iBryan Ferry kunye nabaSebenzi.
