Around 20, I read Jussi Kantonen's and Alan Jones's book 'Saturday Night Forever: The Story Of Disco', an excellent book by the way, and found out that before the eighties hits, Grace was an underground disco diva who released three essential disco albums: 'Portfolio' (1977), 'Fame' (1978) and 'Muse' (1979).

By the time her debut album arrived in 1977, Jones had already traveled the world as a model and become a symbol of all that was strange and vivacious about the decade’s underground nightlife.

The second line consists of two adjectives describing the subject, and the third line contains three verbs ending in the suffix ing which are related to the subject. Poema en diamante. A fourth line then has four nouns, again related to the subject, but only the first two words are related to the first subject. The poem can be used in two ways, either comparing and contrasting two different subjects, or naming synonyms at the beginning of the poem and then antonyms for the second half for a subject.In the poems, the subject is named in one word in the first line.

Rather than offer a repetitive form of pop music, Portfolio embodies all the profound emotional and cultural diversity of the early underground disco clubs, before the culture was co-opted and stereotyped by the mainstream. With her covers of “Send in the Clowns” and “La Vie en Rose,” Jones positioned herself as an heir to the great cabaret entertainers of the Weimar Republic and the Moulin Rouge. She found a great benefactor in producer Tom Moulton, who brought rich textures and genuine musical dynamism to disco production. In a genre best known for singles, Portfolio stands as a rare album-length statement of integrity and personal conviction.

Plus, it still makes for a great party.
