Robert Palmer on spy father + success via videos - Later with Bob Costas 6/19/89

[@jamesgibson3242]

Proper English Gentleman. I like him very much, his music his interviewing skills and whole attitude.

Robert Palmer was the bomb! He had great songs and was so stylish dapper elegant and refined. He would have made a great James Bond in the 80's. RIP

Robert Palmer was an amazing gentleman. He performed with his music simply for the purpose of enjoying the music itself. No funny business, no tricks or gimmicks to his work. Very cool, calm and collected. Any additional stuff was someone else's idea.. He always kind of reminded me of a James Bond of music. Another great artist gone way too soon !!

[@lysanderofsparta3708]

It sounds like his father really was James Bond!

[@Loke2112]

In my humble opinion one of the coolest and most soulful artists of all time. In 1988 I was 18, he and those "mannequins" made quite the impression...

Thanks for sharing this. I thought I'd already discovered all the interviews with Robert Palmer, but hadn't seen this. I had the biggest crush on Robert when I was younger, but aside from that his music is brilliant and eclectic, and what I like about this interview is how seriously he took his business of making music.

What a great interview. I see that the term "gentleman" has been mentioned frequently in the comments, but there simply is no other word for the man. Well done and thank you. And if you look for the numerous interviews with the models who appeared in Mr. Palmer's videos, you'll find nothing but appreciation and admiration for his work.

[@jamescox8402]

He covered "Sailing Shoes' by Little Feat and had some of those band members record with him. That's how cool R.P. was...

[@TheSpookyDuke]

Funny.... I think RP didn't realize how wonderful and important The Power Station project came out to be. It's one of the best albums of the 80s and that speaks volumes.

[@jstone247]

I liked that guy. He had style, class and humility. He delivered cool music. I wish he had lived linger. He was not an ego-driven asshole rocksinger, but a sincere writer,singer purformer. He ha so much more to offer. However , his almost constant smoking would have a major input to his fatal heartattack ....that robbed humanity of the generous creative offerings Mr. ROBERT PALMER STILL HAD TO SHARE. REST in PEACE.

Thank you for sharing this!! Really good interview and it was nice to hear Robert talk about the power station in depth!

[@THEWOLFE-007]

I Love that Robert is Human and he refers to the cover of 'Get it on bang a gong' in the way he calls the lyrics ridiculous and yet he covers it Astoundingly-Great!! The first time I heard the Power Station was an Era in my life that was Major Exciting and I was enthralled by this work that all the players had formed together. I mean you had the Taylor boys from Duran Duran and Tony Thompson from Chic [Amazing drummer] and ROBERT PALMER!!! How do you beat that??? The first notes played out on the radio, I could never forget! Plus everyone I knew bought the album. Such incredible memories I wouldn't trade for anything, because they are of a time when things were so much Greater!!! There will never be another time like the nineteen-eigthies ever again. So sad to see Robert and Tony go with-in months of each other, due to health issues, in 2003. I am so glad that I got to see Robert Palmer and Duran Duran Live, only wish I could have had the pleasure of taking-in the POWER STATION as well. I did meet Michael DesBarres in L.A., though, one afternoon, as he was enjoying some frozen yogurt, he was pretty cool, I liked meeting him with my friends asking him questions and all. [ ]

Robert Palmer died from a sudden heart attack in a Paris hotel room on 26 September 2003 at age 54. A quiet man in his personal life, Palmer was uninterested in most of the excesses of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, although he was a very heavy tobacco user who smoked as many as 60 cigarettes a day.

@@ClevelandLiveMusic yeah I don't understand their comment either . Also the industry tried to destroy him and it's a fact that many people told horrible rumors about him . He did not have a mistress and was known to be very loyal . I can't remember what video it was that I found a thread where a woman was talking about how she had spent years amassing information for a book for him and she never did get it published but she explained she got most of her info from a gentleman who had done a lot of research also . They both spoke of how there was a lot of misinformation about him to paint him as a ladies man and something he was not . I can't remember all the rumors I think one was also they try to paint him as a cokehead which he was not .

[@tednorton5150]

Every Kind of People landed him on American Bandstand in the 70s. He had a fabulous career in motion and was already wealthy and living in the Caribbean so let's remember it's all relative. BOTH the cover of Cherelle and the video were tongue in cheek and meant to intrigue, not to degrade anyone or anything.
