Rock History - Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003)

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop,reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits "Addicted to Love" and "Simply Irresistible" featured identically dressed dancing women with
pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s

Palmer died in a Paris hotel room from a cardiac arrest on 26 September 2003 at the age of 54. He was a heavy smoker. He had been in the French capital after recording a television appearance in London for Yorkshire TV, a retrospective titled "My Kinda People".
