ROBERT
PALMER
- Addictions: The DVD
Sadly no longer with us, the suave Robert
Palmer
had grooved & schmoozed since the '70s. Songs like Sneakin' Sally
Thru The Alley, Which One Of Us Is The Fool, Bad Case Of Loving You
and Johnny & Mary reflect the early music video days, but where
the videos are lacking, the songs are still great. Before his stint
with the Duran
Duran
guys in Powerstation
(with the infectious Some Like It Hot, Riptide and Get It
On cover), he had success with songs like Looking For Clues,
Pride and Some Guys Have All The Luck. His classic clip is
of course Addicted To Love (with the girls miming instruments
behind him) - it was revisited with clips for Simply Irresistible
and I Didn't Mean To Turn You On, and has since then been ripped
off as much as the "king of the world" shot from Titanic.
Sweet Lies and Every Kinda People adds up to 18 songs
from a man who will be missed. The DVD contains no extras but has the
same (sometimes silly) introductions and interjections by Palmer
as it was on its first release on video about ten years ago.
