Robert Palmer, RIP

I was a Robert Palmer fan from way back in the days of "Sneakin' Sally through the Alley"...

I also really liked the disc "Clues" that came out in the very early 80s... and of course the POWER STATION rocked.

He did a decent cover of Marvin Gaye's "Mercy, Mercy, Me" that I've always liked too.

So long, dude... man, this one gets to me. I mean, my entire adult life I had some Robert Palmer playing in the backround.

Rock Singer Robert Palmer Dies at Age 54
Associated Press

LONDON - Rock singer Robert Palmer died Friday in Paris of a heart attack, his manager said. He was 54.

Manager Mick Cater, speaking from Paris, said he had no further details immediately.

Palmer, whose hits included "Addicted to Love," was on a two-day break in Paris following a TV recording session in Britain, Cater said.

The son of a British naval officer, Palmer was a member of several British rock bands before he hit the big time as a solo artist.

In the 1980s he became a superstar with singles which also included "Simply Irresistible" - accompanied by slick videos featuring the sharply dressed Palmer and a bevy of attractive women.

A side project, Power Station, formed in 1985 with John Taylor and Andy Taylor of '80s supergroup Duran Duran, scored three U.S. Top 10 hits, including "Communication" and "Get it On."
