Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, "Cherchez la femme"

How did this not become the music of the latter quarter of the last century? Cory Daye, pipes and charm for days, with lyricist August Darnell, who would soon become Kid Creole, on bass, driving the band, including "Sugar-Coated" Andy Hernandez, who would soon become Coati Mundi, and its brilliant arrangement.

"[...] Inspired by the Elvis flick King Creole, the Kid Creole name was a suave pseudonym within a pseudonym. Darnell’s friend and collaborator Vivien Goldman described him in the Guardian as “an experienced juggler of self-created personas.” The Kid character was a musical trickster who could charm your woman with his poetics and promises while stealing the milk out of your coffee.  He was a traveling man looking for fun and adventures before his boat set out to sea. Off the Coast of Me drew heavily on tropical music influences. The album included standout tracks including the erectile dysfunction anthem “Mr. Softee,” the sunny mid-tempoed “Yolanda,” and the title track’s lo-fi jungle jive.

British journalist Paul Lester wrote in the Guardian that “the LP was greeted like the second coming by a U.K. music press weary of dour post-punk.” “It was reviewed like Sgt. Pepper,” Darnell told Lester in 2011. [...]

Another key member of Kid Creole was sidekick and arranger Andy Hernandez. Giving himself the stage name Coati Mundi, after a playful Latin American ring-tailed mammal, he was the band’s musical director and comic foil onstage, what Andy Schwartz, the former owner and editor of New York Rocker, called the “group’s secret weapon. You can never discount the influence and excitement generated at a show by a person like that.”

An important but usually unsung element of the group was Darnell’s taskmaster wife Adriana Kaegi, a Swiss-born musician who was in charge of the Coconuts side of things. More than simple background singers, the Coconuts were inspired by ’50s girl groups, but with the attitude of punk women. They not only supplied the oohhs and aahhs, but also served as a blond-haired Greek chorus that had no problem putting macho man Creole in his place. Darnell and Coati held auditions in a rehearsal studio named Daily Planet in Manhattan. “We needed versatile musicians,” Darnell said, “including a horn section, who could play all styles — pop, R&B, funk, jazz, salsa and calypso. It wasn’t easy.”"

Kid Creole and The Coconuts - Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy (Top Of The Pops...

And I'm telling it to your face /So you don't have to hear it in another place / (Break it to me gently now / Don't forget I'm just a child)

Oh Annie, I'm not your daddy / (Mama's baby's papa's maybe) / Oh Annie, I'm not your daddy / (Mama's baby's papa's maybe)

See if I was in your blood / Then you wouldn't be so ugly

😂

A-T-2 422 Mindful Boogie

Christmas is stressful so remember to be mindful

Frazelle - Today Is The Day (You've Got To Love Somebody) Today is the today you've got to love somebody, be mindful, let that body be your body

Gene Boyd - Thought Of You Today (Instrumental) The 'you' Gene Boyd thought of was his 'inner you', that's right! he gave himself some thought today, very mindful Gene Boyd

Clifton Dyson - Slow Your Body Down (long long version) Clifton as an older man with an interest in younger women (who he meets at his local yoga class), he's offering advice that comes from the wisdom of old age, be mindful slow your body down. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the age difference and Clifton's inability to keep up, that Sarah wants to go out dancing and Clifton wants to stay home and play solitaire

Cousin Ice - Catch Your Glow mindfulness that's how you nurture your glow once it's been caught (and food and exercise, read it a book). I keep my glow in a hutch, I have to clean that thing out everyday! whatever you do remember to refresh the water and replace the straw with fresh stuff

Montana Sextet - Heavy Vibes vibes aren't fluid, they're binary, there are two types of vibes 'good' and 'bad'. The trick is to receive and transmit only good vibes while staying clear of bad vibes. That is mindfulness. Vincent Montana's vibes are good and heavy, this track is part of the Love Is The Message/Chicago Bus Stop family of tracks

Jagg - Take Time Take time out for yourself but as the song says be mindful not to get carried away with the impulse storm through tasks, take a breath and take your time

Kid Creole And The Coconuts - I'm A Wonderful Thing Kid Creole isn't Annie's daddy but he IS a wonderful thing, we know it, he knows it, the result is balance, harmony, and confidence. You too are a wonderful thing, be more like Kid Creole
