Heart breaking morning just now. Saw Malcom Marshall's interview on X. Was a very good friend of mine. He and Haynes looked after me so well on my tour in 1983. Was the Best in his Era. One bowler who believed change of pace was Fast, Faster and Fastest. 😪😪😪

Kid Creole’s influence on Prince 👑, is a little like Queen’s, & Shuggie Otis’s influence on Prince - generally missed in favor of the more obvious ones (Sly, JB, Carlos, Jimi, Stevie…). Thing is, the not so upfront, or obvious influences have just as much weight.

Prince really dug this one..so much this groove found its way into a few of his songs. August and crew were an influence on him especially on the Parade tour if you listen/look closely.

Kid Creole is one of the great Trickster figures of Pop music, not unlike Uncle Jam, The Maggot Overlord, George Clinton. Auggie D doesn’t get enough credit for what the Savannah Band, and his Coconuts 🥥 built in the 70’s & 80’s starting w sophisticated 40’s zoot suit nostalgia.
Replying to @JonAndre @vurnt22
August Darnell is the sonic bridge personifying this shift. He took Black dance music out of the 1970s Nuyorican Latin-disco club (Dr. Buzzard) and dropped it straight into a 1980s Caribbean calypso-reggae paradise (Kid Creole). Both Prince and Michael Jackson were fascinated.
