In 1981, Grace Jones returned to the music scene with what was perharps her very best studio album, Nightclubbing. The Nightclubbing album certainly gained wide recognition from critics and was even voted as Album Of The Year by New Musical Express Magazine.

Backing up Grace Jones was a fierce rhythm section led by Robbie Shakespeare and Sly Dunbar. They were pure and soulful, but the center of attention at all times was the striking, extreme lead singer. On three occasions that night, Grace Jones took the concept of audience participation to new heights.

Towards the end of the 1970s, Jones adapted the emerging New Wave music to create a different style for herself. Still with Island, and now working with producers Alex Sadkin and Chris Blackwell, she released the acclaimed albums Warm Leatherette (1980) and Nightclubbing (1981). These included re-imaginings of songs by Sting, Iggy Pop, The Pretenders, Roxy Music, Flash and the Pan, The Normal, Ástor Piazzolla and Tom Petty.

Jones teki levytyssopimuksen Island Recordsin kanssa 1977. Hänen levyttämänsä kolme diskoalbumia, Portfolio (1977), Fame (1978) ja Muse (1979), menestyivät melko hyvin. Tässä vaiheessa hänestä tuli Andy Warholin muusa. Warhol otti hänestä runsaasti valokuvia. Jones liikkui Warholin kanssa New Yorkin yöelämässä, muun muassa maineikkaassa Studio 54 -yökerhossa.

Chic's Nile Rodgers produced this Grace Jones album as part of a new deal she signed in the late '80s with Manhattan. Unfortunately, she didn't remain on the label very long, even though this was among her better LPs and included a fine single in "(I'm Not Perfect) But I'm Perfect For You." There were rumors that Jones and Rodgers didn't get along, and perhaps they didn't, but the album wound up being one of her most commercially viable. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
