Couldn't agree more with that. Robert Palmer had more talent in his little finger than a lot of todays 'stars'. He had an amazing career and always followed his heart with music, never becoming pigeonholed in a particular genre. Because he was always so well presented and gorgeous, some people will think he coudln't be talented too, which is stupid of course. His music speaks for itself.
This is the most cliched comment by the sour old goats of TH-cam after every vintage singing, dancing, or acting video streaming. Compliment one by insulting thousands. I can't imagine a single one of the celebrities "complimented," dead or alive, would appreciate this kind of comment, and yet they are ones most prevalent.
@@Hellwyck when we were all around 15ish we all used to go to a music cafe in Scarborough called Dean run by Barry and Roger Dean, their mum ran the cafe upstair where we all used to meet Robert too, although he was Alan then, nice lad, quiet and always love his music he told me one day he would be famous, I think his mum and dad still live here.
HI everyone! Thanks for all the nice comments about Robert! He truly was a gentleman, a class act and a great performer and we were fortunate to have had heard and seen his talent. This performance was aired February 7, 1997. The songs in the medley are "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On", "Bad Case Of Lovin' You", "Addicted To Love" and "Simply Irresistible" Hope you all enjoyed it and please subscribe to me. Thank you!
I never get tired of watching this video The whole band is great and having fun and the trumpet player really rocks and of course so does Robert Palmer. One of the best live TV performances . I miss him so much!
I always liked Robert Palmer and was saddened that he died a relatively young man. I read some short blurb stating he was "style over substance." Bullshit. He was a excellent singer and an impeccably dressed entertainer. I just notice those things, and the guy always looked like a million bucks. Just because he knew how to dress doesn't mean he can't sing as well. That was part of his image.
I think Palmer generally confused folks. He was neither super-serious auteur nor just fluff. He occupied a weird liminal space that had him covering tunes in strange arrangements, and visually standing a adjacent to what was en vogue without being intentionally out of sync. He could write a decent tune and had a distinctive voice. He was comfortable with jazz standards and cheesy pop-rock, and the lack of cohesion was probably the reason he got pegged the way he did. I didn't think he was a great talent, but he was a solid craftsman that could provide a handful of surprises on every album. I tend to view his work in Power Station and parts of his Riptide and Heavy Nova records as his peak (he really did best with a strong production hand, and guys like Bernard from Chic offered that).
I don't give a sit what people say about his lifestyle or anything close...He was one of the best singers/entertainers ever. Give him the props he deserves...he had so many memorable songs than a lot of popular performers in the last 30 years...he was the ultimate performer, and creator of some of the best songs in the last several decades.
For many years I completely misjudged Robert Palmer, thinking of him merely as a slick artist with slick videos. I couldn't have been more wrong. This man had an amazing talent, and died far too young. But what a body of work he left behind--truly impressive.
OMGoddess! I have a CD of his greatest hits and I lost 40 pounds over 3 years dancing around the house to his music on that recording. I may be 70 but in my heart I'm still the hot chick in my early 30s clubbing and dancing to this music!
I do believe that's Eddie Martinez on guitar, left of RP, who played a lot of those great LPs and was a part of one of the all-time great touring bands, led by Mr Palmer.
@Daniel Hudelson You are correct, the guitarist is Eddie Martinez. He played with Mr. Palmer for several years and appeared with him on a few TV performances in the late 90s. They made a great team.
He did from a massive heart attack age 54 I believe. I've read he'd had a complete physical a few months prior to his passing and was pronounced fine...He is missed ...
Such a great medley, gives one a taste of Robert's immense range & skill. Can't believe he's no longer with us in the flesh...Thank you for posting this :)
Roberts voice. .is so pure he's a funk machine . .no pretence he's got the goods and he knows it .i liked his style and Grace. And mystery. His music is missed . Max is good here what a pro .you could tell he's having fun .
Robert was one of the first white men I fell in love with outside of Buck Rogers, don't judge me, I was a kid lol . His smile & that voice though. IJS! RIP Robert!
People in the know, knew this guy was the man long before he had his big hits. Try listening to his album "Clues". The absolute coolest guy at the time. and never sold out. My man.
RP was a true all rounder could sing anything and make it his own, he has to be up there with the greatest entertainers in the world was a true gent and never had any bad press . Rip to a true legend!!!!
He looks a little ill here and like he's struggling a bit. All that chain-smoking caught up with him. I loved him so much! I waited on him and his mistress one evening in the fanciest restaurant in Los Angeles in 1988. I'd been a fan since his first albums. It was a thrill meeting him, so nice and cool.
So many smokers smoke because it’s changes ( probably relaxes) the vocal cords and makes the more supple. But causes heart disease and cancer as well. Faustian trade for a lot of great singers
Palmer is a true legend. He hated lame pop songs. That's why for this appearance he made sure that the drums played by Max Weinberg had the right sound echo and delay attached to the mike nearest the drums for that sharp strong sound. My favorite songs of his with DEEP hard feel are .......Fleshwound......Now More Than Ever...... Didn't Mean To Turn You On.......Sweet Lies......Simply Irresistible, and Some Like It Hot. His other commercial hits were good. But, these are my favorites
Yeah, right!?? You know, Robert played a few gigs on some tv shows and a few concert performances with Max and the band from this performance he was so impressed by the way the played.
This talented young man has created a driving beat to his lyrics and score that makes me want to get out on the dance floor , and get it on with a gorgeous Italian girl that can dance her but off with me…
'I Didn't Mean To Turn You On' sounds strangely flat but 'Bad Case of Lovin' You' sounds fantastic as do 'Addicted to love' and 'Simply Irresistible'. Great vocals from a great man.
"Drive" was his last, and maybe his best. If there's anything better than the three-song cycle that begins "Sneakin' Sally..", I haven't heard it, Batley lives!
He was so freakin good. The suite and tie, professional look and just kicked ass. So unique
Yeppers
He could do everything he wanted : soul, rock, funk, reggae. I thing, he really was a genius. We miss you, bob !
He lived music!
@@Bitoseng he was one of the coolest British rockers on the planet rest in peace Robert Palmer 🇨🇦🇮🇱🇦🇩🇭🇲🇬🇧🇺🇸🙏😭😮💨😢😿💖🇯🇲🤬😻💔😭
Hell yeah
True. Versatile musician
In love with him Forever❤
Simply beautiful ❤
The JAMES BOND of Rock !!
What a talent !! Very unique !! RIP
Yes Sir❤
This medley is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!❤❤❤❤

He was from Yorkshire in the north of England so he was humble and hard working.

Definitely the classiest rocker ever, totally agree with you!
What a performer! Loved his stage presence, his voice and he did always look like a million bucks. Gone way too soon. Robert Palmer rocks!! RIP
Wish Robert was here!!!!! Learned about his death when I was in college Hated every minute of it! Robert needs to be here now!!!!!!!!
Mr. Palmer was always a very well dressed gentleman...never followed trends...good taste is always in style.
I will never not state the obvious with Mr. Palmer: the man could WEAR a suit.
@@bukowskibabe yes ma'am he could

I miss Bob, at least I had the pleasure of seeing him live
Rest In Peace, Mr. Palmer.
I'll always love your music.
Coolest cat
Greatly underated
Ah. Back when people made truly great music. God love ya Robert.
I never get tired of watching this video
The whole band is great and having fun and the trumpet player really rocks and of course so does Robert Palmer. One of the best live TV performances . I miss him so much!
THEY ARE, AND IT'S SO MUCH FUN WHEN THE BAND IS SO ENGAGED. MAKES YOU SMILE AND SMILE.

He was extremely "substantial".

He was style AND substance. And, above all, he was talent.

His lifestyle? He was by intimate accounts a pleasant homebody.
His lifestyle? He was happily married with 2 kids. 🤷♂️
He was married twice and was a father. He was private about his family and a true gentleman.
He had five kids
@@randiewasserman8831 That'll do it

Aside from Robert - It is impossible to be this cool!
I get a thrill when I see Eddie Martinez playing with Robert.
excelent
That's the best medley I've ever heard
I listen to addicted to love at least 10 times everyday....Rip good sir ..You were Great and took way to early.
Oh yes, he's extremely charm. Just like his song, Simply irresistible! Love Mr Palmer❤
HOT DAMN ❣❣❣❣
Beautiful! Never saw this before! Thank you!

He did from a massive heart attack age 54 I believe. I've read he'd had a complete physical a few months prior to his passing and was pronounced fine...He is missed ...
Obviously not "complete" enough.
he smoked like 50-60 cigs a day
@@profitpess Plus a lot of cocaine over the years.

Brilliant and tight all the way through. ... Robert had a wonderful range.
RP was a true all rounder could sing anything and make it his own, he has to be up there with the greatest entertainers in the world was a true gent and never had any bad press . Rip to a true legend!!!!
The "Master of the mashup", way before its time. This one . The Little Feat Sailing Shoes to Sneaking Sally. Simply impeccable.
Legend. Still love you Robert Palmer. X
Robert Palmer!! Smooth as Black Silk.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Classy guy he was.. these guys are awesome!
One of my favourite singers you are in my system Robert
CRISP! Right down to the timed bow. What a boss!
RIP. I loved him
LOVED THAT GUY!
He looks a little ill here and like he's struggling a bit. All that chain-smoking caught up with him. I loved him so much! I waited on him and his mistress one evening in the fanciest restaurant in Los Angeles in 1988. I'd been a fan since his first albums. It was a thrill meeting him, so nice and cool.
MADRE MIA QUE VIDEO HERMOSO CON SUS CANCIONES
He smoked alright!! OMG he was amazing
He died from a heart attack. The guy sang with such passion. Sad he smoked too many cigarettes I love him! The band rocks.
You're right! He did sing with passion and he was a class act. Just to hear him sing, how he interacted in interviews. A real nice guy.
they say he smoked 3 packs a day
they said 2-3 packs a day i had a few friends in the bahamas who knew him and they confirmed it lol
John Lennon 50 cigarettes a day
So many smokers smoke because it’s changes ( probably relaxes) the vocal cords and makes the more supple. But causes heart disease and cancer as well. Faustian trade for a lot of great singers
I love listening this..song..😆👍👍👍
Best of the best, just a guy wanting to sing to ppl in his own beautiful way..and he did..I bought all his vinyl
He was the best in power station.
Oh yes you did! ❤️RIP my love.
He was incredible in Concert !! ❤️

CLASS ACT!!!
SOLID GOLD
I wish someone would post the clips from Saturday Night Live when he performed with the Power Station. Only live performance with them.
that band did him proper,,
DANTHETUBEMAN yes they did
FN MAX W ON DRUMS!! LOVE IT!!
Yeah, right!?? You know, Robert played a few gigs on some tv shows and a few concert performances with Max and the band from this performance he was so impressed by the way the played.
@Scott Slabilon check this out th-cam.com/video/bwJbaPCn1dg/w-d-xo.html
I remember when this aired
Leave it to Conan to put on the best show case of an artist ever shown on TV. Robert Palmer was a phenom.
This talented young man has created a driving beat to his lyrics and score that makes me want to get out on the dance floor , and get it on with a gorgeous Italian girl that can dance her but off with me…
Go robert go
I loved loved loved him. RIP Genius.
Er war ein grossartiger Rocksänger.Sein 'Addicted to Love' mit dem fantastischen Video ist unsterblich.
Er war wirklich einer der größten Rockstars unserer Zeit. Schien wie ein netter Kerl.
I've always loved his music.😍
Same here, and loved his looks too!!
Cool
God bless Robert Palmer
Eddie Martinez, guitar supremo.
'I Didn't Mean To Turn You On' sounds strangely flat but 'Bad Case of Lovin' You' sounds fantastic as do 'Addicted to love' and 'Simply Irresistible'. Great vocals from a great man.
I think he was too close to the microphone
"Drive" was his last, and maybe his best. If there's anything better than the three-song cycle that begins "Sneakin' Sally..", I haven't heard it, Batley lives!
1 of a kind
Smooth dude
Changing the singing order for Addicted to Love reminds me of
David Bowie’s Let's Dance Live version(starting from the second and
Ballade tone).
Cool to see Robert Palmer and Eddie Martinez with the Max Weinberg 7
Crackin' Gem!!!!
Brilliant talented and a genuine lovely man sadly missed ❤️
He was. Wish he was around today to see what his music would've taken him towards. Maybe into the country music genre? One could only wonder
tight
I'm in love.
