Biography

Fromwikipedia

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003), born in Batley, Yorkshire, was a Grammy Award-winning English singer-songwriter. He was known for his distinctive voice and the eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues. He found success both in his solo career and in the musical act Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the US and the UK. His iconic music videos by Terence Donovan for the hits "Simply Irresistible" and "Addicted to Love" featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Sharp-suited, his involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered five decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.

Boring. Most popular in the mid 80's, when he was at his most boring.

DIG deeper ABC. Clues and Sneakin' Sally (featured) are great albums but you need to get hold of DRIVE (2003). Anything on this is 100% up DIG's alley. Can I suggest 'Dr Zhivago's Train' as a future DIG featured track?
