Collection: Kid Creole And The Coconuts
New York City Latin disco, from Me No Pop I with Coati Mundi in 1980 to I Love Girls, a house-leaning Columbia promo from 1990. In between sit the UK 12-inch of I'm A Wonderful Thing, Caroline Was A Drop-Out on Sire, and Hey Mambo with Barry Manilow on Arista.
American latin pop band founded by [a55005 aka [a1270593 in 1980 in New York City. Fronted by [a414628 backed by the trio of [a88526 and also featuring [a30097, they enjoyed most of their success in the eighties. Their debut album was critically well-received but not successful commercially. Their second album was a concept album matched with a New York Public Theater stage production; it received positive reviews, with Darnell recognized as a clever lyricist and astute composer, arranger and producer. Their international breakthrough came with their third album, 1982's Tropical Gangsters, which hit #3 in the UK and spun off three Top 10 hits with Stool Pigeon, Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy and I'm A Wonderful Thing, Baby ; Dear Addy also made the Top 40. In the US the album was retitled Wise Guy and reached #145, and I'm a Wonderful Thing, Baby flirted with the R&B charts. Dixit Darnell: "In the Savannah Band I’d modelled my style on 1930s/40s jazz singer and showman Cab Calloway, and I created Kid Creole as an extreme version of that, a sort of lounge lizard/bon vivant or what an ex-girlfriend called a “lovable rogue”."
