Aside from the well known tunes I’ve never delved too far into the Grace Jones back catalogue which I’m now regretting after hearing this slice of electronic 80s awesomeness. As suspected I just looked it up and it was produced by the one and only Nile Rodgers, a man responsible for more amazing beats than, well, anyone. Even though many people know lots of his tunes he actually doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Maybe I’ll do a few posts in the future of more underground songs he’s produced or ones that people might not be aware of.
Buy Grace Jones – I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Perfect For You) from Amazon

Chaka Khan is amazing, she’s recorded so many great tunes yet somehow this is a fairly recent revelation to me. Everyone knows the hits so I hope I don’t need to educate anyone there and of course you all get down to I Feel For You when it goes the jukebox but have any of you actually listened to the album it’s from in full? No? Then do so immediately, there are some killers on there!
Anyway, this is one from 1981 and has a chorus that I can never get out of my head. What a riddim.

My old mate Logic made a little mix of mainly MF Doom and A Tribe Called Quest hip hop instrumentals for, believe it or not, a wedding he was at recently. I wish they played that sort of things at the weddings I go to, I’d much rather hear that than the Village People.
