If you get a chance listen to the song trilogy: “Sailin’ Shoes/Hey Julia/Sneaking Sally Through The Alley” it’s meant to be heard one right after the other as one long medley. It’s also Robert Palmer, the Meters, and Lowell George from Little Feat are the musicians on the three songs.

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

Yes ,they’re a suite and should be heard all together.❤️✌️🌼

[@annadavis8278]

It's nice that Robert Palmer is finally getting the respect that he deserves. Robert Palmer was one of the most underrated singers and one of the most underrated performers. He was actually a celebrity among celebrities. Some of Robert Palmer's fans included Tina Turner, Rod Stewart, Duran Duran...just to name a few. And, what made Robert great and probably the most highly-respected man in music was his diversity. Everyone knows "Addicted to Love", but Robert was much, much more than that. His whole catalog of music should be listened to in order to understand the scope of this man's talent. He was never above working in any style of music or working with anybody. I never knew a man who loved music as much as Robert Palmer. If you get a chance there is a great video of Robert singing with James Brown. This man even did justice to Marvin Gaye's songs! Robert Palmer was incredible! He was a part of my growing up. I miss him dearly.

[@TheRedWaltz24]

70's Robert Palmer is the best Palmer. "Hey Julia", "Sailing Shoes", "Every Kinda People", "Man Smart, Woman Smarter", "One Last Look", "Spanish Moon", "Some People Can Do What They Like", "Give Me An Inch", "Work To Make It Work", "Pressure Drop", "Trouble", "Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)", etc. etc.. Very underrated talent and worth discovering.

[@bobthebear1246]

You forgot "You're Gonna Get What's Coming."

[@babaoriley1]

And "Trick Bag".

[@garyrasberryjr.552]

And before his solo stuff, he was in a great band called Vinegar Joe.

[@TheRedWaltz24]

@@bobthebear1246 That's why I added "etc., etc." at the end, because he has so many great songs that it would be hard to list them all. :)

@@d.l.loonabide9981 NO! Only Lowell George. This was the great meters. Look up the meters band and you will see who these Legends are.

[@prissilou]

One of the best musical trilogies evah! Lowell George is heard on both "Sneakin Sally through the Alley" and his own composition, "Sailin' Shoes". Little Feat pretty much filled the position of his backup band on "Pressure Drop". Long story...boy do I remember those days...

[@dmCurator]

Robert was right at home no matter what genre he dropped in on. Super talented guy.

ROBERT PALMER "EVERY KINDA PEOPLE"...A MUST HEAR CLASSIC.

My favorite RP song. Haven't heard it in a long while Bass is George Porter (The Meters), Art Neville (The Meters) on piano and guitar is Lowell George (Little Feat) Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks

Palmer's collaboration with Lowell George and probly others really boosted his act from brilliant to exrta terrestial...and your vid adds a nice icing on the cake, well done Sir!

[@paulprendergast3184]

Great album. His best. No need for dancing models when your band is essentially Little Feat and the Meters.

YES!!!! You finally did THE FIRST and THE BIGGEST Robert Palmer classic EVER, from all the way back in 1974!!!! ❤️ Robert Palmer was one of the greatest Rock/Blues/Funk/R&B singers ever. That man could do it all. R.I.P. Now, please do "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On," "Every Kinda People," "Bad Case Of Lovin' You (Doctor, Doctor)" and "You're Gonna Get What's Coming." THANK YOU. 🙌🏻

My favorite line is "If you can't find something wrong with your mind you better find something wrong with hers" LMFAO

Tight backing band on this one. The album lineup was a who’s who of players including Lowell George on guitar on this one. Written by Allen Toussaint and recorded by a few artists, including Ringo (!). This version is best.

As someone else mentioned, a band called "The Meters" provided most of the music. They were a New Orleans funk band that played from the mid 60's to the 70's. They put out several awesome albums of their own. Please Jamel check out some of their material. Funkyness guaranteed.

[@deannye1543]

Jamel, you FINALLY did it! Thank you SO much for finally reacting to one of my all time favorite songs! You're absolutely right- that bass is fire! And that band backing him up isn't just any old band- that's the Meters, who are the all time kings of New Orleans funk and soul. You owe it to yourself to check out "Look-ka Py Py" and "Cissy Strut" from them. The Meters were an instrumental group, but when you combine their greasy funk with a great singer like Robert Palmer, that's when magic happens. I only wish they had done more together. Oh yeah, we should also give Lowell George some credit- he is, after all, the one killing it on the slide guitar!

[@GrowingUpJersey]

this was always played as a triogy with Sailin' Shoes/Hey Julia/Sneakib' Sally. Always.

[@carriestuart9921]

Very true...Was missing Sailing shoes, big time...don't know why but there were certain albums that had songs transition into the next one and just don't sound right right when you don't hear the entire sequence.

[@kevingavigan7883]

Robert Palmer is backed by Lowell George (slide guitar), Jody Linscott (percussion), and Steve York (harmonica), and the rest of the instrumentation is by The Meters : including Art Neville on keyboards, Leo Nocentelli on rhythm guitar, George Porter Jr. on bass, and Ziggy Modeliste on drums. The album's Wikipedia article actually has an external link to a website that I got the info about who the musicians are on this track. The bass is the best part of this song, George Porter Jr. is one of the best bass players!

Thanks so much for doing this song from back when RP wasnt famous yet. He used to play a club near me. Such a unique and fantastic musician

[@christophersmith1213]

The reason the song is so groovy is because it's New Orleans through and through, being written by New Orleans' Allen Toussaint and recorded in New Orleans with Robert Palmer backed by New Orleans' own Meters (plus Little Feat's Lowell George on slide guitar). Of course Robert Palmer achieved fame and fortune in the '80s as a solo artist and as the vocalist in the Power Station, but this, his debut album, is his seminal work.

[@davidreynolds4684]

This has been one of my favorite songs since i was a kid. I used to love when id go see my dad play and theyd rip into this for me. You might be surprised how many folks have done this including Fish. Check em out. Rip Robert. You are lived and missed. The man had no idea he was a white Brit.

The Bass player could have been George Porter Jr from the Meters or Gordon Edwards - credits don't list a bass player for this track.
