Favorite Robert Palmer song

:-(

I'm starting to feel really, really old.

"I didn't mean to turn you on"... I was just flirting... I'm a tease.

-- Allen

:-(

Their version of Bang a Gong was awesome. Especially the guitar solo.

Reminds me - I don't have Power Station on CD

In fact, I think I'll put in on today! :-)

I actually went to see PS just because I wanted to see Palmer. Then they switched him out with what's his butt - Michael Des Barres - I was so bummed! If I recall correctly, Palmer hated touring.

"Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on ..."

I'd have to go with "Bad Case of Lovin' You." I remember hearing that a lot the summer before my Senior Year in HS, and the album it came off of was far superior to his later - more popular stuff IMO. He even did a decent job on Todd's "Can We Still Be Friends" but of course no one can top the original ;-).

God I love that song!!

"Some like it hot/and some sweat when the heat is on.."

from his album "Looking for Clues" which I liked a lot back in the early 80's when it came out...the song was called "Johnny & Mary"...

obscuro I know :)

That was a good song. I'll have to see if I can find that somewhere.

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right
If it could buy truth from him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn
When he decides hes a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere
When he earns time to
Mary combs her hair
Says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets
She never knows what to think
She says that he still acts
Like he is being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought
Running around

Johnny feels hes wasting his breath
Trying to talk sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real
Sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around
Trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm
That he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it

Johnnys always running around
Running around

He also had a terrific version of "Every Kind Of People". I think it's on the same album with "Clues"
The Professor

.....while he sang.....making his mouth huge....and jumping around on the big building blocks....always loved that one!!:)

RIP...brings back many memories of my wild younger days! :evilgrin:

And his cover of Little Feat's Sailing Shoes

I was getting upset with the reporting of his death because it seemed to be all about the Palmer girls. He was much better than that! Little Feat are the back up band on most of his older stuff and it is great. I have always loved his music and will miss him very much. Rest in Peace Robert.

With the power station. Hoo boy.

:loveya: Robert :yourock: RIP!

I really liked him and his music - I couldn't believe it when I heard he had passed. What the hell's happening? :-(

Never knew who did it, 'til recently, but I always liked it.
