Carlos was heavily overweight and cultivated a jovial countenance, and adopted a look similar to the singer Antoine, with leis and Hawaiian shirts. In 1980, he became a spokesman for the Oasis brand fruit drink, with his song "Rosalie" (a cover of {{ill|Georges Plonquitte|fr}}, singer for Typical Combo, a Guadeloupean group)[http://lapelanga.com/belle-femm-pas-ka-ta-ou-georges-plonquitte Rosalie written and composed by Georges Plonquitte] being used in their television advertisements.{{Citation needed|date=December 2024}}
