Reason: I like to Move it in Robert Palmer's pants
And there's two more albums that aren't in that list. I'm presuming it's because they didn't have any charted singles from them. Those would be his debut album, 1974's "Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley", and the follow-up which is 1976's "Pressure Drop".
The debut album has Palmer doing a pretty sweet version of the title tune which was written by Allen Toussaint. "Pressure Drop" is probably only notable to Americans because it's got a nekkid chick butt on the cover. Too bad because there are some great tunes like "Give Me An Inch" and "Work To Make It Work" on there.
It's never too late to discover good music. And it's never too late to find out Robert Palmer was SO much more than a suit and a bunch of models behind him. He delved into torch songs, world music, blues, new wave, you name it. Check it out for yourself.
