total respect to the ladies, well done for all the years

There's a lot of talent and hard work there. Kudos to the singer dancers!

This is great. And it shows clearly how little space the Coconuts had available to them, in live situations. Literally standing room only. And they still made space for each other. That's show business!

Such an insane amount of work, more than anyone else in the entire band. So much to remember, while singing too!

So true ...more than many people realise, but boy does their unique choreo suit the ladies and fits in perfect with the style of music they dance/act out to..if Adriana wouldnt have been there, it would have been a comletley different style of dancing....then it wouldnt have been the coconuts as we know them now..

This is why I always enjoyed the Coconuts. Amazing professionalism to achieve a great performance and proof that making things look easy takes hard work. Thanks for posting the video.

I saw the Lifeboat Party on German TV as a teenager, was a fan right away and bought a record the next day. But how little did I realize at the time how much work and effort by everybody must have gone into putting this show on stage. Impressive. Massive respect!!

I've seen them twice live. I'm not surprised and the amount of energy of this rehearsal, as their shows reflect a professional level that you see in this rehearsal. Thank you for letting me into this world. I hope all of these musicians and singers got paid equal amounts for this rehearsal time. $$$ To my knowledge, Darnell paid well.

These girls are a true 'triple threat'... stunning, amazing dancers and great singers. Always loved KC&TC when I was younger and this has just reignited my boyhood crush. Sure they're 'fit' but their 'fitness levels'... Oh my gosh! :)

Great movement and perfect timing steps ! Hard work really pays off to achieve " GREAT RECOGNITION . " !

I would imagine that the question must have ben asked many times over the years however! EDIT ...
