#GraceJones6Music - What should be in a Grace Jones-inspired playlist?

Nemone sits in for Tom Robinson and asks 6 Music listeners to help curate the definitive Grace Jones-inspired playlist via #GraceJones6Music.

Pull up to the bumper, baby. Its Grace Jones weekend on 6 Music, and Now Playing wants YOUR suggestions for the ultimate Grace Jones-inspired playlist.

Following some special Grace Jones-themed programmes on 6 Music, including Gemma Cairney's conversation with Grace on Friday (7-9pm), plus Grace-related content from Gilles Peterson and Jarvis Cocker, Now Playing is dedicating two hours of music to one of the most iconic artists of all time.

Singer, artist, model, film star, producer and now author, Grace is a walking talking industry all on her own, with roots in Jamaica, New York and Paris. A proper one-off, her connections span far and wide.

So we want your music suggestions for this special Grace Jones playlist, which could include her own songs, musical associations, collaborators or artists she's been influenced by or in turn have influenced, including Annie Lennox, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Bj枚rk, Madonna, R贸is铆n Murphy, Nile Rodgers, Santigold, Basement Jaxx and so many more.

You could also mine musical gold from Grace's Hollywood career, most notably James Bond and Conan The Destroyer.

In the presenting chair for the next few weeks, Nemone will be a slave to the rhythm to guide you, dear, listener, on your journey into Ms Jones' music, style, image, peers and influences.

Get your Grace-inspired suggestions to Nemone - including the reasons WHY - via the hashtag #GraceJones6Music to help create a playlist. Comment on the Now Playing Facebook page, here on the blog, email nowplaying@6music.co.uk or drag tracks onto our Spotify and Rdio playlists.
