Grace Jones – A Rolling Stone (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1980

Side A

“A Rolling Stone” is a 1980 single by Jamaican singer Grace Jones.

The song was recorded on Jones’ 1980 album Warm Leatherette, her first post-disco album, and was released as the first single from the album in the UK. It didn’t garner much attention and was quickly followed by “Love Is the Drug” and “Private Life”. Unlike the majority of the Warm Leatherette album’s material the song wasn’t a cover version but a new composition co-written by Jones herself, Deniece Williams and Fritz Baskett. In the lyrics Jones complains to her lover about something missing in their relationship, which is affection. The 7″ single featured an edited version of “Sinning”, the opening track from the previous disco album Muse as the B-side. The 12″ single included an extended remix of “A Rolling Stone” which was only released in the UK and still remains unreleased on CD.
