The Life & Tragic Death Of ROBERT PALMER 

I saw him in Utica in the late 80s. Such a fantastic voice!!

I Had A VERY Similar Experience at Michigan State University, Where he Performed in The Early 1990's! So Sexy, & Great Concert! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

😮Me to and he was fantastic he had people dancing in iles ,he had nothing special, but his singing was possibly the best concert we went to

You can tell by this video live performance how good he was.

Seen him at Newcastle City Hall in the 80s he was brilliant

I agree!

Imagine that these artists are in the RNR HOF: Madonna, Tupac, NWA, Janet Jackson, Donna Summer, ABBA, Whitney Houston and so on... Palmer is not the first thing i would think of when it comes to Rock, but he would deserve it a million times more... Imagine these bands are not in the HOF: Scorpions, Judas Priest, Alan Parsons Project, Boston, Motorhead... But yeah, ABBA is, totally rock n roll.

I'm a former smoker who'd go through half to one full pack every other day. No weed, no coke, and only drink socially. Like you said, I was unable to endure long, intense activity on just that little bit of smoking. Dude was blowing through 3 packs a day. There's no way in creation he was "healthy."

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em! 😅

The odds of anyone smoking 60 cigarettes a day living a long life cannot be high. I just read the other day that Patrick Swayze smoked 60 a day and he died at 57........

To, if you never done any of that and, you actually are normally a healthy person and, yet you come down with a chronic illness and, then, one thing leads to the other, all cause it’s in the genes! Gee, does that suck!

I didn't hack and cough , only when I caught colds, which was 3-4 a year now I might get one mild one a year!

I was 17 when addicted to love came out it was a baaad ass song and video he was always a class act

I thought Power Station kicked butt. Also 54 here

Me too

​@@warriorv9359Right?!? Such a jam!💃

I only know of him from that excellent and weird Addicted To Love video. I gave up smoking and drinking before it killed me. I wish Palmer would have realized the dangers and done the same. He was obviously very talented and creative. Congrats to you on kickin' the habits. I do treat myself to a cannabis scone for insomnia...since I don't "booze" anymore. Alcohol was my GO TO...in the past. There was no weaning off those vices...just COLD-TURKEY-ED IT.

I see what you did there. Good on ya.

❤

I reckon Diana might have been.

EXACTLY 💯%

Strange how I did like Addicted to love when it was released, I was 15, I thought the suit a bit cheesy. Now I think he looked divine, and what a classy move. I work in a corporate and before Covid every guy was in a suit, and it was so boring. Then I would rewatch Robert and be like yes, yes, he’s perfect.

RIP to a great singer great classy dresser what a waste a destructive habit will kill u sing in heaven❤❤❤❤❤

and very sexy

Yes he is been in my top highest list of my music concerts saw him at Florida R.I.P. Naples,Florida

The ZZ Top song "Sharp Dressed Man" is doubtless about him.

Robert Palmer and Bryan Ferry I would say.

@@l.rongardner2150 That era of music was so diverse, you had your choice of Southern Rock such as the Allman Brothers, Glitter rock, David Bowie… Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, downtown clubs like CBGB’s was a wide range of Punk, early Metal Bands, I often went to Roxy Music at the Beacon Theater, Todd Rundgren, was emerging in the same time period, then there was Watkins Glen in 1973. A 3 day outdoor concert with The Band, The Grateful Dead & The Allman Brothers. I got to see Queen at Avery Fisher Hall. In Shea Stadium was Jethro Tull, Lou Reed at the Felt Forum. NYC had wonderful venues such as seeing David Bowie at Radio City Music Hall. Other venue was Gaelic Park, and if I remember correctly it was Mott the Hoople, and perhaps it Spooky Tooth together at the sharing the Bill. Of course Madison Square Garden was always headlining ledges, with a 6 night Tour in 1975, using a unique Stage that was so huge, I heard it was only used in LA and NYC, if I recall correctly it was the Lotus Stage. The Fillmore East had just closed when the Allman Brothers recorded, Live at the Fillmore East. Even Carnegie Hall had some amazing performances starting off with the Beatles in 1964, and from there the list went on. I personally never got to see any of the many Rock Legends that performed at Carnegie Hall. But NYC was busy 24/7 with shows like Rod Stewart, ELO, Led Zeppelin, ELP etc. I was always a fan of Gordon Lightfoot and only after watching his life in documentary did I discover that one of his own personal favorites at Carnegie Hall. Thanks to RU-vid many of these historical performances have been preserved for generations to see. When I seen The Rolling Stones for 6 nights at MSG, tickets in the red sections were $12.50, which is unbelievable to the cost of tickets today. As a young teenager I was at the Orange County Fair, and Chuck Berry did a full two hour show for what I remember costing a dollar, many families were taking their kids to go on the variety of amusement rides, so there was around a hundred people or less watching Chuck Berry only around 20 feet away. So many great artists that I never got to see back then, but I truly grateful for the many live performances that I was fortunate enough to see. The Apollo Theater on 125th always had a great schedule of performances for the coming season. I was able to see a Morton Review.

@@Billytomtom18 , I saw Boz Scaggs for 50 cents in the UC San Diego gym in 1970. And I was right in the standing front row. I also saw Santana '69 or '70 in our gym for $2 And I think it was just $2 to to see Pink Floyd, in '70, in an outdoor concert on our campus, with Hot Tuna the opening group. Those were the days.

He was simply irresistible.

Fantastic song.

Great song and video clip with the ladies in it❤

❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I agree

Oh THAT was his name?? I thought that he was just cocaine, personified. Or like, Huey Lewis's werewoof azz after a shave. Palmer, huh?? Like Laura and them?? Nice people, them.

That's A.I. generated text and narration for you.

Killer

The cocaine probably didn’t help either.

⁠@@stevenmiller7747: Going to have to face it you’re addicted to coke.

I smoked 3 packs a day and ran 10km a day! I finally quit and now cannot run as fast as I did as a smoker

Robert had the look ❤

John Mellencamp to this day still smokes that much and probably more

@@adamclark9004 I thought Mellencamp quit 30 years ago?

Sneakin’ Sally was produced by New Orleans’ genius producer Allen Toussaint using The Meters and Little Feat founder Lowell George as backing band. Lowell was my friend and he was quite surprised when I knew of the album *before* it was released in the US. My pals in the record biz made certain I had an Import copy as soon as it came in.

ELKIE BROOKES WAS IN HIS BAND IN THE VERY EARLY DAYS FANTASTIC 💙❤️💜​@@FeatnikSF

Shes so fine couldnt tell you were the money went what a line

I'm so sorry to hear this 😥 I myself used to smoke for many years and know how hard it is to quit. Thank you for your comment and for watching. Take care

I am a sinner still.

CHECK OUT .MY CANCER STORY ROCKS .

what is she 140 yrs old

@@Tom-os4hy ,probably about 101,so she could well be alive

Hi. I'm 72 and Robert was 3 years older than me so if alive he would now be 75. If his mum was 21 when she had Robert she would now be 96. My brother still lives in Scarborough and a year or so ago he told me he was delivering medicines to her home as he's a delivery driver for a local chemist. Next time I speak to him I'll find out if she's still alive 🙂@@Tom-os4hy

Not quite as old as that Colin, my guess is 96 as I've mentioned in my reply to @Tom-os4hy🙂 @@colincorn8678

I never knew Palmer covered Girl U Want by D-E-V-O!!!!

... I heard him mention Vinegar Joe. A quick mention - if you blinked, you missed it sort of thing - but it was in there.

@@deannadrake2040 Thank you "dd"!! 🖤♠

@@Dafalex22 You're welcome. 😊 It's around the 2:48/2:49 mark, for anyone who's interested.

I saw him in Vinegar Joe in April of 73. Course I was mostly admiring Elke’s very short dress.

@@mikeroberts7921 A typical RP "upskirt" fan!! BRAVO!! TALLY HO!! 🖤♠
