This delightful, catchy track with hints of Big Band and Latin American influences was from the August Darnell-led musical group Kid Creole and the Coconuts. I'm a Wonderful Thing, Baby was a hit on the UK Pop charts, going all the way to #4 in 1982. In the USA, the song did not enter the Hot 100, but went to #44 on the R&B chart and #18 on the Dance charts. And yup, it's another of those singles that I thought deserved to be a hit here.
original version on the album Wise Guy / Tropical Gangsters
