BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
REQUEST
“Don’t Cry It’s Only The Rhytm”…
“Slave to the Rhythm” was the first single from Grace Jones’ album of the same name, which was released in 1985. The song and the album was written by Bruce Woolley, Simon Darlow, Stephen Lipson and Trevor Horn and was produced by Horn. This was Jones first album in three years, and it contained eight variations of the same song (the single’s B-side is another variation, yet to be released on CD). The single became one of her greatest commercial successes and counts as one of Jones’ signature tunes.
The song peaked at #12 on the UK singles chart in 1985, and became a new #28 hit in 1994 (in remix form). The original version of the single, and its remixes, also topped the American dance chart in February 1986. It also became her biggest Hit in Germany where it peaked at #4 and remained in the Top 10 for eight weeks. In The Netherlands, ‘Slave to the rhythm’ reached number 3 in November 1985, staying on the chart for 12 weeks.
