Originally posted September 25, 2014
“Living My Life” is a Grace Jones song released as a single in 1983.
The track was originally recorded for the album of the same name, but for unknown reasons, it did not make the final cut. It received a scarce 1983 release as a UK white-label single and was officially released only in Portugal.
A remixed version was released as the B-side to the UK reissue single of “Love Is the Drug” in 1986. The original long and dub versions are yet to be reissued on CD.
