What do Prince and Kid Creole have in common? Evidently there was something Prince liked about Kid Creole to write "The Sex Of It" for him. So, what are the similarities between the 2. Hmmm! Peace and be wild! | |

Speaking of creole, I thought Haiti was the place where the orignal "creole"culture took place before it was spread out through America, no? Just asking, correct me if I'm wrong.(Don't mean to change the subject, but just wondering).(nevermind, found some on it..look below) [Edited 8/22/07 7:14am] "After the New World’s discovery, Portuguese colonists used the word "crioulo" to denote a New World slave of African descent. Eventually, the word was applied to all New World colonists, regardless of ethnic origin, living along the Gulf Coast, especially in Louisiana. There the Spanish introduced the word as criollo, and during Louisiana’s colonial period (1699-1803) the evolving word Creole generally referred to persons of African or European heritage born in the New World. By the nineteenth century, black, white, and mixed-race Louisianians used the term to distinguish themselves from foreign-born and Anglo-American settlers. It was during that century that the mixed-race Creoles of Color (or gens de couleur libre, "free persons of color") came into their own as an ethnic group, enjoying many of the legal rights and privileges of whites. They occupied a middle ground between whites and enslaved blacks, and as such often possessed property and received formal educations. After the Civil War, most Creoles of Color lost their privileged status and joined the ranks of impoverished former black slaves. All the while, however, the word Creole persisted as a term also referring to white Louisianians, usually of upper-class, non-Cajun origin (although, confusingly, even Cajuns sometimes were called Creoles, primarily by outsiders unfamiliar with local ethnic labels). Like the Creoles of Color, these white Creoles (also called French Creoles) suffered socioeconomic decline after the Civil War. In Acadiana, newly impoverished white Creoles often intermarried with the predominantly lower-class Cajuns, and were largely assimilated into Cajun culture." --from Encyclopedia of Cajun Culture ...so basically, Haiti/Louisiana(Haiti-being an Arawak name) creole culture is just about the same( a melting pot of African/French/Spanish/European culture) just spread out in different locations geographically I guess.

All I know is I love the song - performed by P, that is...
'Don't open that window!'   "Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies -
tongue-tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I" | |

I think prince was probably a fan of Kid Creole, being the reason why he gave him 'the sex of it'.And like Prince, August Darnell aka The Kid had many guises- rangeing from Dr Buzzards original savannah band to all the stuff he did on Z records - a very talented diverse artist, and no mistake! | |
