    I can’t recall when a performer on the tonight show got such a round of applause. Carson was impressed enough to let him perform two numbers back to back; a full 7 minutes to own it.

    From David A. Wood: The melodiously sublime 1984 song by Kid Creole & The Cocoanuts, "My Male Curiosity," happened to have been, and still happens to be, one of my favorite Latin-influenced R&B songs from the 1980s. Hell, it is still one of my favorite songs in September 2024! "My Male Curiosity" was one of the songs that came out of the hit 1984 movie "Against All Odds," yet, regrettably speaking, unlike the Phil Collins song, "Take A Look At Me Now," Kid Creole & The Cocoanuts' "My Male Curiosity" did not chart at all. Which was truly a damned shame because "My Male Curiosity" was, musically speaking, a much more superior song! I both first heard "My Male Curiosity" and saw the song's very entertaing video on a repeat basis Cable TV's Black Entertainment Television (BET) during the Summer of 1984. I enjoyed it ever since even though the song was difficult to access. I only found it through my Smart phone's Google app. Another thing that was and still is puzzling to me was that the musically scintillating band that was Kid Creole & The Coconuts was only regionally famous in the US Northeast, Florida, and California, which meant that the band did not receive much airplay in Ohio as it should have rightfully received. Indeed, back in the 1980s, I expected that that band would have been regularly heard on Dayton's WDAO and Cincinnati's WBLZ, which happened to have been those cities' top R&B Music stations back in the 1980s. Perhaps Kid Creole & The Cocoanuts was unfairly ignored by the more conventional R&B Music stations because of that group's notably Afro-Latino influenced music. Which just goes to show you just how stupid is the sin of Prejudice! Nuff Said and Peace Out from Kettering, Ohio, everybody. ☮️ 🇺🇸 😃👋✌️👍

      ART has no color! have to reply to this statement, I am Adriana Kaegi the co-founder of the band. The Coconuts were my creations I am Swiss therefore white. The concept for the Coconuts created by me, was to have three look-alike girls dancing in perfect sync, never cracking a smile. The Bands concept was always that of co-existence, and we made sure that all band members came from diverse backgrounds, religions, and skin tones since this seems to be the very topic you are incorrectly referring to. So I hope to have cleared up your assumption. Not everything in life is black and white, educate yourself and you will find out. I hope this helps you understand, what Kid Creole and the Coconuts were and are about.
