Free Download: Grace Jones - My Jamaican Guy (Doc Adam Bootleg Remix)

The Grace Jones self-penned patois hit My Jamaican Guy is iconic for several reasons. Released in January 1983, as the lead single to Living My Life, it marked the final chapter of her now legendary Compass Point sessions for starters. Her mother Marjorie sings the backing vocals, but is uncredited, as not to upset her church as she was a pastor's wife. The artwork is created by Grace's then longterm partner, Jean-Paul Goude, who was instrumental in her image, stage choreography, videos and album/single artwork. Originally the image here was supposed the album cover but was replaced by this familiar piece of art. Both are absolutely stunning in their own right, with the single owning a truly hypnotizing gaze that definitely pierces your soul. The video incorporates footage from her stunning A One Man Show plus some of her most iconic imagery. The song is one of our all time favourite Jones tracks and those steel drums gets us everytime. So perfect! Portland based DJ Adam Arola a.k.a Doc Adam lifts them plus several vocal loops and transform them into a summery house party with a deep bassline that will shake that money maker of yours for sure. Download below and enjoy responsibly, we know you wanna go nuts with this one!
