Patrick Olive, the cool bassist and conga player from the band Hot Chocolate originally came to Britain from Grenada.

"People get too hung up about racism and prejudice," he tells me.

At his home in an overwhelmingly white, middle-class corner of Sussex he was keen to show me his "golliwog collection".

But Patrick also wanted to introduce me to his wife - a white woman called Jane.

In the mid-70s he recalls how his hopes of dating a white girl were met by hostility and prejudice.

"The father was breathing fire and brimstone," he told me.

A quarter of a century later and his relationship barely raises an eyebrow.

"I believe in miracles. Where you from? You sexy thing(sexy thing, you)."
 
Yup, their mega-hit. I was going to add it, but I soo love their funky E1'sAW song. :)

I had heard this song many times when I was little. But, this song can be special on a day when you least expect it. For me, it was Christmas Eve. Our family was out Christmas shopping and we stopped into McDonald's afterward(McDonald's is alway the place to go during the holiday season, imho. I don't know what it is, but it's there). Instead of the holiday music, You Sexy Thing played that afternoon(it was a cold sunny Christmas Eve) on the way home. I was feeling pretty good that day.
