The only man that could be surrounded by models and still be center of attention.

[@demetrasettle]

Love this.

[@wolf4359]

Its me too

[@dhill6998]

He had that sexy lawyer look.

[@PedroHenriqueRamos]

I don't see any man on the video! lol

[@cocoaorange1]

I guess he wanted them all for himself. I liked his tunes as a teen. One of the first songs where a guy stands his ground about turning down sex. Both genders have the right. At least he is trying to be nice. Nowadays the poor guy would be sued and crucified. LOL. This song from yesteryear was popping in my head. I forgot the singer's name. He died of a heart attack in his 50's. Very sad.

[@jarnettifritjof2246]

Well, *GOOD4you.* Butt..doyouknow..'(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.'* Hope, that will *HELP* hesite you, a bit.. to BE (TooMuch) a whining'(too..)OPTIMISTIC'angel, too. Dont'you.. *THINK.*

[@djskdjsk28]

The man is a legend and always will be❤️

[@sirkeithv1112]

Shout out to Cherrelle, the one who made this song first. R I.P Robert Palmer who did a nice cover for it.

[@REXXSEVEN]

Wow, I really thought it was the other way around. I really did learn something here.

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

Cherelle who ?

[@blackdragon6]

Cherelle version is better, but I like this one too

[@theashologist]

Cherrelle version is more funky and just speaks blackness to me

[@FaytLinegod]

[@fattech2003]

I missed living in the 80’s when MTV rocks and I first saw Robert Palmer swaggering on the stage with model girls playing 🎸 guitars on MTV. R.I.P Robert Palmer!

[@gavlaarrc1561]
