Just as there are two Sugar Ray boxers, I've just discovered there are 2 Kid
Chocolates. The original being the former 2 time lightweight world champion
Cuban boxer Elgio Sardiñas-Kid Chocolate aka the Cuban Bon Bon. He was
popular in the late 1920s and 1930 before retiring at an early age. Kid
Chocolate sho ko lah tay-chocolate en español was an avid music fan and
fantastic dancer in the Cotton Clubs days of Harlem USA, he was a lindy
hopper and jitterbug dancer as well as a superb  Latin music dancer, he was
friends to many jazz and Latin musicians before he decided in the early
1950s to return to Cuba where he died in the late 1980s
