"Slave To The Rhythm" is a concept album featuring several interpretations of the title track. The track was originally intended for Frankie Goes To Hollywood as a follow-up to "Relax". (The FGTH version of "Slave To The Rhythm" was initially announced as part of the tracklist of "Inside The Pleasuredome" when the Pledge campaign was launched but eventually wasn't included.)
Slave to the Rhythm is the seventh studio album by Jamaican singer and songwriter Grace Jones, released on 28 October 1985 by Island Records. Subtitled a biography in the liner notes, Slave to the Rhythm is a concept album, produced by ZTT Records founder and producer Trevor Horn, that went on to become one of Jones' most commercially successful albums and spawned her biggest hit, "Slave to the Rhythm".
"Slave to the Rhythm" is a song by the Jamaican singer, model and actress Grace Jones. It was released in October 1985 from Jones' seventh album, Slave to the Rhythm (1985), on which it is titled "Ladies and Gentlemen: Miss Grace Jones". It was produced by Trevor Hornand written by Horn, Bruce Woolley, Stephen Lipson and Simon Darlow. The song reached number 12 on the UK singles chart and number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. Its music video was directed by Jean-Paul Goude.

"Slave to the Rhythm" was released in autumn 1985. The single became one of Jones' greatest commercial successes and is considered to be one of her signature tunes. It became one of the biggest chart successes for the singer in the UK (number 12, next to "Pull Up to the Bumper"). The track proved exceptionally popular in Belgium, New Zealand, Italy and German speaking countries, where it made it to the top 10. The original version of the single, and its remixes, also topped the American dance chart in February 1986, despite not entering the mainstream Billboard Hot 100 ranking. "Slave to the Rhythm" was proclaimed the best single of 1985 by The Face magazine. In 1994 a newly remixed version of the song reached the top 40 in the UK charts.

The single was titled "Ladies and Gentlemen: Miss Grace Jones" on the Slave to the Rhythm album. The track "Slave to the Rhythm" on the album is in turn a different interpretation of the song
