Is this the missing link?

Darnell continued Kid Creole and the Coconuts and in the mid to late 1980s contributed to various film soundtracks and other such projects. He appeared at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1986 and in this period released the albums In Praise of Older Women and Other Crimes and I, Too, Have Seen the Woods, neither of which charted despite the hit "Endicott". 1990's Private Waters in the Great Divide had a hit with single "The Sex of It", a song written by Prince and recorded at Paisley Park Studios with Sheila E. It reached Top 40 in the US and UK and is to date one of his best-known songs

The years between ''Private Waters'' and the band's last album, ''I, Too, Have Seen the Woods'' (Sire) were not spent dawdling. Mr. Darnell wrote eight songs for Francis Ford Coppola's contribution to the trilogy film ''New York Stories,'' and with the playwright Eric Overmyer he composed the score for the Off Broadway musical ''In a Pig's Valise.'' He was also busy moving his 14-member group away from Sire Records, the Warner Brothers label for which he had recorded since 1980.

He moved away from WB as well

''The Sex of It,'' the song that could be the band's commercial breakthrough in this country, was written especially for Mr. Darnell by Prince. Initially, Mr. Darnell said, he thought that recording someone else's song would be ''a horrible compromise.'' But as time passed, he grew fond of Prince's contribution, which is the album's first single.
