Grace Jones - La Vie En Rose / I Need A Man - RARE 1977 French 7" Single (Island 6172 530) - VG / VG

An absolute masterpiece of Black queer and dark-skinned feminine representation. Grace Jones redefined global iconography by taking Edith Piaf's quintessential French torch song and completely transforming it through a lush, hypnotic bossa-nova disco arrangement crafted by Tom Moulton.

For dark-skinned Black women across the globe, Grace Jones represented an unprecedented, uncompromising standard of beauty and power. At a time when European media prioritized narrow Eurocentric ideals, Grace centered dark skin, sharp features, high fashion, and unapologetic self-sovereignty. She proved that dark skin was not merely beautiful—it was royal, commanding, and timeless.

This original 1977 French Island Records pressing captures her early Parisian club era in its purest form, housed in its signature pink-titled sleeve.
