grammar qusetion

I have read a sentence" More  importantly than the songs they sing or the jokes they tell is a simple fact: ...", but I cannot find the subject?Is it a correct sentence in grammar?

Thank you.

Hi

Well I'd say the subject of that sentence is "a simple fact" … But I'm not really sure.

I think that's called an inversion or something like that – a literary trick for maintaining suspense. For instance "More glamourous than Greta Garbo and Marylin Monroe, Monica Bellucci is (blablabla whatever)" => the subject here is Monica Bellucci. See? But hmm there's something that bothers me with this "More importantly"… Maybe that "-ly" is too much?… I don't really know what it is, but it sounds very weird to my non-english ear… :) Maybe somebody else could help?

Best,

This is not a correct sentance because ask yourself who or what did what and that will answer your question.

I have doubt that there is some mistake in this sentence, and it is from an ad-lib. It seems that replacing "importantly" by "important" could make it looks nice. I am learning spoken English now, and very glad to exchange ideas with you. Thank you for your answers.

hi, he wants to know the subject of this sentence: 

" More  importantly than the songs they sing or the jokes they tell is a simple fact: ..."

it's equivalent to

"A Simple fact is more importantly than the songs they sing or the jokes they tell: blahblahblah" 

And the subject is definitely "A simple fact", because according to the defintion of subject, it has to be the part of the sentence which relates to the verb.

THE TOPIC OF THE SENTENCE IS UNKNOWN, CAUSE SIMPLE FACT IS NOT A SUBJECT

The subject of a sentence is (in English) an obligatory sentence element. It is also one of the two main parts of a sentence, the other being the predicate.

Mr Bibby danced.

The subject has the grammatical function in a sentence of relating its constituent (a noun phrase) by means of the verb to any other elements present in the sentence, i.e. objects, complements and adverbials.

The subject is a sentence element, and should be distinguished from parts of speech, which classify expressions within elements.
