I think I found this Kid Creole single at the Swansea Sal's.
And then dug up this amazing live version. This performance reminds me of everything I used to dig about BOP (harvey) shows back in the day, and makes me realize I need more Coconuts vinyl in my tree.
From Heatwave's second LP, Central Heating, comes this upbeat charmer. The Groove Line may have been the hit single off that record, and sure, it's a classic, but this track shines pretty brightly, too.
Another funky track from the same album was Party Poops, and for that one, Heatwave cooked up a particularly funky video. Of course, nothing can top their acrobatic live performance of the title track from their debut record, Too Hot To Handle.
TV One's Unsung series profiled Heatwave in 2012. It was one of the series' most memorable episodes, because of the shocking tragedies that struck Heatwave at the height of their success.
