I was hoping for high drama and full-on DIVA action, and was NOT disappointed! Worth the wait!!!

I didn’t meet her, unfortunately… but I was 3rd row, so it was pretty much the next best thing. She is so amazing, I can think of nothing else today other than her!

Halston. Cher. Bianca. Madonna.Beyonce. Warhol. Mapplethorpe.

Next slide please.

Flirting with surreality and bombast the entire evening, Ms. Jones stopped time and pulled the entire, sold-out, audience of The Hammerstein into her universe. And what a planetary convergence it was. Grown men shreiking like they were giggly little schoolgirls back in 1977. The tightest band I’ve ever heard, Ms. Jones did precious little to “demand” attention, because she “commanded” attention.

One word. One name. The solo moniker: Grace.

And in my lifetime, while I waited some 32 odd years to see her, the entire experience, from front row, center, some 8′ from the woman who defines DIVA, it was, a transcendental experience.

Slave to the rhythm, indeed.

A slave to Grace.

Thank you, Ms. Jones, for keep on keeping on…
