Have you ever listened to Robin Trower? I think you might appreciate his stuff especially with Dewar on vocals. BRIDGE OF SIGHS might be a good place to start. Guitar virtuoso .
Incredible band, and Palmer does a great job of their song Sailin’ Shoes here. Awesome medley, the Meters with Lowell George sliding it up for you, rock solid. Little Feat rock!
The tragedy of Robert Palmer is that when his song, "Addicted to Love", came out no one wanted to hear anything else from him! "Addicted to Love" was the song that put him on the map, but he was no one-hit wonder. Robert's entire catalog of music needs to be listened to in order to understand and appreciate the diversity of this man's music.
Blue eyed soul man we lost too soon. One of the few performers I shed tears for upon learning of their death. Possibly the best live performance i was privileged to see...and I saw a lot!
Couldn't agree more. I bought "Sneakin Sally through the Alley" after hearing side one on late night radio in the mid 70's. Kept trying to turn my friends on to him... Then he exploded in the 80's, but to me the music wasn't as good. Didn't hurt to have Little Feat as a backing band on this album either...
I remember in 2018 I was living in a tiny cabin in the woods the first time I heard this trilogy. I had built all my furniture with scrap wood and made a piece of furniture to hold all my mom's old records, as I had finally bought a record player of my own. Hearing these transitions made me gain SOOOO much respect for Robert Palmer, it was life-changing. These three songs plus Pressure Drop are my ultimate favorites of his. So glad this 3 song transition is getting the reaction and respect it deserves.
Three great songs written by three great songwriters: Lowell George of Little Feat wrote Sailin' Shoes, Robert wrote Hey Julia and legendary New Orleans music maestro Allen Toussaint wrote Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley.
Oh Jamel, you bringing back some great memories. My Dad turned me on to Robert Palmer many years ago. He put this record on and said, “Damn, don’t this music make you want to dance?” Hell yeah! ❤
I'm so glad you listened to the trilogy and heard "Sally" in her original context. This trilogy of songs evokes a special period of my life during my 20s (a mere 40 years ago).
PLEASE do Robert Palmer’s Every Kinda People (studio version) if you haven’t yet. It’s got an amazing groove and an amazing message which totally aligns with your values that you talk about on this channel all the time. I know you’d love it. It was his biggest hit before his 80s stuff.
Glad you have discovered Robert Palmer's earlier, over-shadowed, work. Now for some more... "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.. Also, his cover of Marvin Gaye's "Mercy, Mercy Me" and "I Want You" in a single song is something amazing.
That groove and funk was provided (mostly) by a NOLA based outfit called the Meters, along with slide guitar from Little Feat's Lowell George. Great band in the studio with a great singer that produced a great record. So many acts got wider exposure through MTV videos in the 80s with material that wasn't their best. J. Geils and ZZ Top come to mind.
Now you got it right. Sailin’ Shoes was written by Lowell George( on slide guitar )and performed by George’s band Little Feat. BTW more Little Feat. George was a great slide guitarist, singer and writer. Both he and Robert Palmer are missed.
I remember when this trilogy used to be played fairly often on the radio in St Louis on KSHE-95! Try to imagine ANY radio station playing a song over 7minutes long like this today! It would never happen, which is so sad! Robert Palmer was in a league of his own. He exemplified the smooth, classy Rock Star. I was blessed to have seen him live on the Riptide tour. Blew me away. He was taken far too young!
Agreed, grew up listening to Real Rock Radio KSHE-95, still listening to this day. Your right, they were not afraid to play an 18 minute song either. That station opened my eyes and ears to some great music.
I wore this cassette OUT when it first came out! Robert Palmer, another killer blue eyed soul singer. A damn shame he died so young. But we've still got this!!
You would LOVE his song "Every Kind oF People"...it goes perfect with your Just be A Good Human ethos! "Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)" and I Didnt mean To Turn You On" are 2 of my other favorite Palmer songs. You should also check out some of his hits with Power Station (him and members of Duran Duran).
This medley is one of my favorite pieces of music on the planet. It reminds me of Lou Rawls' live version of World of Trouble, tho this is oodles funkier.This whole album is a masterpiece. Enjoy!
Now that' the way to listen to the trilogy of Robert Palmer. So many songs in the 70's are the same way. Great song(s), my personal favorite by the late great Robert Palmer. Much too young.
GOOD MORNING! What a way to get going on a Monday. THANK YOU for putting this full trilogy out for more people to enjoy. You are doing an awesome job of keeping the music alive. Needless to say, more Little Feat is always a good thing. This just touches on the genius that was Lowell George.
This is one of my favorite records of all time. Robert Palmer was amazing. "Some People Can Do What They Like" is also an amazing album, and also a great song. Early Robert Palmer is really the Sh*t. I literally just found out last week that my neighbor used to be a roadie for him.
This medley is such an energetic expression of pure joy! I have been listening to it since my teen years, in the late 1970s, and I never tire of it. Thank you for reacting to this! ---OronOfMontreal
Have you heard him with Power Station? Palmer on vocals, bassist and guitar from Duran Duran and the drummer from Chic. Odd lineup on paper but man do they pound it out!
The Power Station, and the Power Station sound Palmer basically stole for his next two albums, I find extraordinarily stale, overplayed, and the reason I'd missed out the vast, eclectic and amazing rest of his catalog and absolute talent, recorded before and after, for many years.
Sailin' Shoes was originally by "Lonesome" Lowell George and his band, Little Feat....check them out!! My bet is you won't be disappointed! ;) Lots of GREAT live performances out there!
As mentioned in other comments, Sailin’ Shoes was written and recorded by Lowell George and Little Feat. Little Feat have a deep catalog of song well worth exploring. A great start would be most any song on the Waiting for Columbus double lp. Fat Man in the Bathtub, Oh Atlanta, Time Loves a Hero, and my favorite Spanish Moon.
So good to come across this--what an antidote to the day's annoyances! Seeing you jam and move to the groove is a tonic! I pray you and your family are smiled upon by the Lord and blessed manifold always. 🙏❤️ You have brought joy and inspiration to so many of us all over the world! Gratitude and respect, Sir.
Takes me back to the 1970s when I lived in New Orleans. Stuff like this was available at small bars and old movie theatres most weeknights, and cheap too. I saw the Meters for a Five Dollar Cover charge one Wednesday night. I don't know how I got through work the next day without falling asleep and crashing the company truck. Stay safe!
He had a bad heart, right from childhood, and eventually, it did for him. Born with a hole in the heart, operated for it, but he was never quite right. Plus, he was a chain smoker, which didn't help. I met him while he was in Vinegar Joe. Lovely man, very passionate about his music, musicians. He went to Africa to do some research into African rhythms, and for his health, and we lost touch. He was just so good.
@Lynne Connolly. Thank you for your interesting information on Robert Palmer. I vaguely recall reading that he spent a large part of his early life living outside the UK because his dad in the armed forces. (stationed in Malta maybe?). Plus - with you telling of Robert's trips to Africa, he seemed to pull on many different musical influences. I read that he was dubbed "a musicologist". Just after Robert's untimely death, I read an interview with Elkie Brooks. She talked glowingly of her time in Vinegar Joe with Robert. Elkie's son - also her manager had been in contact with Robert. There was a possibility that they would work together again. Unfortunately Robert passed before any musical collaboration was possible. He is sorely missed. You and yours stay safe and well.
Great that you listened to Robert Palmer. I think you should listen to his cover of the Gap Band's "Early in the Morning"! He was a one of a kind singer my second favorite behind Mr.Bill Withers!
AN ABSOLUTE MUST HEAR..Robert Was A Big Fan Of Marvin Gaye & Wanted To Do A Tribute,, But It Would Take Him Years Because He Insisted That It Be ABSOLUTELY Respectful Of His Work & Memory,, This Is The Result,, ROBERT PALMER "MERCY MERCY ME/I WANT YOU"..A Combination Of 2 Classic Marvin Gaye Songs..R.I.P. Marvin & Robert
Keep great music alive...Jamel, I already told you this one. Little Feat was Robert Palmer's backup band on Pressure Drop. On this trilogy, you got the late great Lowell George on the slide guitar on Sneakin Sally Through the Alley. The musical groove between Palmer and Little Feat was beyond legendary. Not enough is said about Lowell George. He is one of the greatest slide guitarists who ever lived.
I wore out this album back in the day. Doctor Doctor (bad Case of Loving You), Every Kind of People others to check out by him. Also, check out Little Feat. He was working with Lowell George from Little Feat on this one. I think you reacted to one of their songs. Check out Two Trains and Spanish Moon. Sailing Shoes is one of their songs. Cheers
When an artist can recruit musicians like the Meters ,Lowell George and Alan Toussaint to cover some of their music, that says a lot about Robert. That New Orleans Funk is undeniable RIP Robert
I’m actually damn proud of you for finding one of the most underrated blue-eyed soul voices of the 70s. Toss out his 80s pop songs of commercial success everyone knows. Robert Palmer was a stone cold pimp in the 70s. That was his peak. I highly, HIGHLY, recommend checkin out a hidden gem called “Here With You Tonight” from his second album Pressure Drop. You won’t be disappointed.
'Medley' is the proper term for this piece of fine work. Robert's early stuff was good & funky, and it doesn't hurt to get Lowell George to work with you on it. Treat yourself to some of Lowell's efforts with Little Feat.
Buy this album, you will have one of the best times of your musical life. I recommend Pressure Drop too. Robert was even awesome in his early band, Vinegar Joe !
You should definitely check out Little Feat. This is the band that first recorded Sailin' Shoes. They were an amazing band. Lead singer and songwriter Lowell George died too soon.
I know I’m late to the party, but I want to give you a thumbs up for this presentation. The two albums that this is from, pressure drop, and sneaking Sally through the alley are both over 50 years old. The beauty of a channel like yours gives the opportunity for a wide range of people to listen to and enjoy music like this. Is this new to me ? Hell no I was 24 years old when his came out, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of your subscribers weren’t even born that time. Any, good work sir 👍

Have you ever listened to Robin Trower? I think you might appreciate his stuff especially with Dewar on vocals. BRIDGE OF SIGHS might be a good place to start. Guitar virtuoso .
Give the band Little Feat a big hug and Lowell George and friends for helping Robert with this album!
Yes!!! Love that band
Going to see Little Feat live in a month!
Love me some Feats!! Old folks boogie...
If y'all like this trilogy... Check little feat feats don't fail me now. Cold, cold, cold..
Incredible band, and Palmer does a great job of their song Sailin’ Shoes here. Awesome medley, the Meters with Lowell George sliding it up for you, rock solid. Little Feat rock!
The tragedy of Robert Palmer is that when his song, "Addicted to Love", came out no one wanted to hear anything else from him! "Addicted to Love" was the song that put him on the map, but he was no one-hit wonder. Robert's entire catalog of music needs to be listened to in order to understand and appreciate the diversity of this man's music.
@EAT SOAP Me too...
Not a tragedy, when Addicted came out I was thinking that he was finally gonna get paid for all his past work. I was really happy for him.
Blue eyed soul man we lost too soon. One of the few performers I shed tears for upon learning of their death. Possibly the best live performance i was privileged to see...and I saw a lot!
He died at 54 of a heart attack. THAT was the tragedy.
Couldn't agree more. I bought "Sneakin Sally through the Alley" after hearing side one on late night radio in the mid 70's. Kept trying to turn my friends on to him... Then he exploded in the 80's, but to me the music wasn't as good. Didn't hurt to have Little Feat as a backing band on this album either...

Three great songs written by three great songwriters: Lowell George of Little Feat wrote Sailin' Shoes, Robert wrote Hey Julia and legendary New Orleans music maestro Allen Toussaint wrote Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley.
Sailin Shoes was written by the late grate Lowell George and performed by his band, Little Feat.
Of which Robert Palmer was a member for a while.
Learn something new all the time.. Have little feet... And knew palmer was with tower of power!!! But wow!
Oh Jamel, you bringing back some great memories. My Dad turned me on to Robert Palmer many years ago. He put this record on and said, “Damn, don’t this music make you want to dance?” Hell yeah! ❤
I'm so glad you listened to the trilogy and heard "Sally" in her original context. This trilogy of songs evokes a special period of my life during my 20s (a mere 40 years ago).
I'm diggin it that you are diggin it!!!
PLEASE do Robert Palmer’s Every Kinda People (studio version) if you haven’t yet. It’s got an amazing groove and an amazing message which totally aligns with your values that you talk about on this channel all the time. I know you’d love it. It was his biggest hit before his 80s stuff.
That is an awesome song…Robert Palmer was the original blue eyed soul singer for me…😍🥰RIP Robert Palmer
You will love this one Jamel.
"There's no profit in deceit
Honest men know that
Revenge does not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every man's the same inside..."
This one is great, Jamel, you should check it out!
I love the entire Double Fun album.
Robert Palmer I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On is a great song 😎
Back when the video came out, a friend of mine watched it and said, "Well, Robert, just what were you TRYING to do instead?" :-D
Written by the great Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
Glad you have discovered Robert Palmer's earlier, over-shadowed, work. Now for some more... "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.. Also, his cover of Marvin Gaye's "Mercy, Mercy Me" and "I Want You" in a single song is something amazing.
I couldn't believe how good this album was when I first heard it.
No kidding, it's really slept on.
One of my favorites of all time.
That groove and funk was provided (mostly) by a NOLA based outfit called the Meters, along with slide guitar from Little Feat's Lowell George. Great band in the studio with a great singer that produced a great record. So many acts got wider exposure through MTV videos in the 80s with material that wasn't their best. J. Geils and ZZ Top come to mind.
I thought I heard me some Lowell in there! Thanks for that bit
The Meters did "Cissy Strut", an alltime great funk instrumental.
Sneaking Sally by the great Allen Toussaint who worked with the Funky Meters all the time
Didn't the Meters do Sophisticated Sissy?
Holy trinity. This man xxx
He did a great mix of two Marvin Gaye Songs "Mercy Mercy Me / I Want You" that show off the soulfulness and power of his voice.
Now you got it right. Sailin’ Shoes was written by Lowell George( on slide guitar )and performed by George’s band Little Feat. BTW more Little Feat. George was a great slide guitarist, singer and writer. Both he and Robert Palmer are missed.
ROBERT PALMER "EVERY KINDA PEOPLE"..A MUST HEAR CLASSIC WITH AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR US ALL.
His early stuff, was his best stuff. Trilogy is arguably his best. R.I.P.
I remember when this trilogy used to be played fairly often on the radio in St Louis on KSHE-95! Try to imagine ANY radio station playing a song over 7minutes long like this today! It would never happen, which is so sad!
Robert Palmer was in a league of his own. He exemplified the smooth, classy Rock Star. I was blessed to have seen him live on the Riptide tour. Blew me away. He was taken far too young!
Agreed, grew up listening to Real Rock Radio KSHE-95, still listening to this day. Your right, they were not afraid to play an 18 minute song either. That station opened my eyes and ears to some great music.
Grew up listening to KSHE as well. They introduced me to this fantastic trilogy as well as many other great deep cuts.
I wore this cassette OUT when it first came out! Robert Palmer, another killer blue eyed soul singer. A damn shame he died so young. But we've still got this!!
With you Linda! I wore out an album at home and cassette in the car
This album and this trilogy in particular is a merging of Little Feat & The Meters!
You would LOVE his song "Every Kind oF People"...it goes perfect with your Just be A Good Human ethos! "Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)" and I Didnt mean To Turn You On" are 2 of my other favorite Palmer songs. You should also check out some of his hits with Power Station (him and members of Duran Duran).
This was so much better than addicted to love.
Wow! Thank you! Still remember every single word. This is a master piece. RIP Robert Palmer. Love it ❤
This medley is one of my favorite pieces of music on the planet. It reminds me of Lou Rawls' live version of World of Trouble, tho this is oodles funkier.This whole album is a masterpiece. Enjoy!
Now that' the way to listen to the trilogy of Robert Palmer. So many songs in the 70's are the same way. Great song(s), my personal favorite by the late great Robert Palmer. Much too young.
The definition of keeping great music alive, early Robert Palmer 🤙🤝👍👌🏻👏🏿
GOOD MORNING! What a way to get going on a Monday. THANK YOU for putting this full trilogy out for more people to enjoy. You are doing an awesome job of keeping the music alive. Needless to say, more Little Feat is always a good thing. This just touches on the genius that was Lowell George.

Awesome ❤ it!
I love this so much! His music before the eighties was oh, so great. A musician's musician!
Every kinda people and his version of Can we still be friends are winners
Robert Palmer is one of my favorite performers ~ so incredibly talented ! Had the pleasure of seeing him twice ~ sure do miss his Smooth Style ~
This Trilogy is Classic! One of my "get ready to dance" songs.
I own all 22 Robert palmer albums from 1974 to 2003
Give me this is the best of Robert Palmer. He had a great career, but I loved his really early stuff. He died way too early.
Brings to mind the Great performance by Leon Russell of Jumping Jack Flash/Young Blood at the Concert for Bangladesh! Epic.
That would be an amazing reaction to do!
Beware of Darkness.
This medley is such an energetic expression of pure joy! I have been listening to it since my teen years, in the late 1970s, and I never tire of it.
Thank you for reacting to this!
---OronOfMontreal
More grooves by Robert Palmer? Try “Every Kinda People” and “Early in the Morning” (cover of the Gap Band’s song)
@MichaeKeene mentioned the Meters as his backing band. Check out Sissy Strut circa 1969. This could very probably be the first "funk" record.
Another good one is "Bad Case of Lovin' You", more of a straight ahead rocker.
Have you heard him with Power Station? Palmer on vocals, bassist and guitar from Duran Duran and the drummer from Chic. Odd lineup on paper but man do they pound it out!
The Power Station, and the Power Station sound Palmer basically stole for his next two albums, I find extraordinarily stale, overplayed, and the reason I'd missed out the vast, eclectic and amazing rest of his catalog and absolute talent, recorded before and after, for many years.
@@seanhanley1978 good for you but sadly, I'm out of cookies.
@@s.g.r.2773 Ok
You need to here Robert when started to play with the Caribbean Sounds in his music!
tHE rOBERT PALMER SONG THAT WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED IS , it takes eVERY KIND OF PEOPLE Beautiful and uplifting!
With Little Feat as your backing band, you can’t go too far wrong! Loved Vinegar Joe and solo Robert………
OMG!! Thank you thank you!! Have been requesting this for months! Ain’t it just the Sh&#?!?
So you love what we used to listen to...😂❤ im still rockin to this at age 65!
Sailin' Shoes was originally by "Lonesome" Lowell George and his band, Little Feat....check them out!! My bet is you won't be disappointed! ;) Lots of GREAT live performances out there!
This, please!
Can’t go wrong with Little Feat.
Rock 'N' Roll Doctor
'Waiting For Columbus" is my deserted island album.
Trifecta of perfection
Yes every kind of people
Gotta listen to the three
Thanks so much for doing this trilogy! Cant get enough of Robert Palmer. Glad you enjoyed it.
Sailing shoes is by Lowell George from Little Feat he's playing guitar on this album
You gotta check out Power Station. It's Robert Palmer and the Taylor brothers from Duran Duran! They do a great cover of "Bang a Gong(Get it on)"
As mentioned in other comments, Sailin’ Shoes was written and recorded by Lowell George and Little Feat. Little Feat have a deep catalog of song well worth exploring. A great start would be most any song on the Waiting for Columbus double lp. Fat Man in the Bathtub, Oh Atlanta, Time Loves a Hero, and my favorite Spanish Moon.

I always enjoy reading stuff I didn't know about an artist I like. TY!
Check out his cover of the Gap Band's Early in the Morning!
It's so much fun to see someone discover and enjoy something we've been jamming to for years 😁
Pressure Drop is another great one. I wish there was a "Skydog Lives" for Lowell George
Best three song transition EVER! Love Roberts' music, so sad to lose him so early, great, soulful talent.
Great that you listened to Robert Palmer. I think you should listen to his cover of the Gap Band's "Early in the Morning"! He was a one of a kind singer my second favorite behind Mr.Bill Withers!

This is awesome Jamal! Robert can sing the heck out of a song. You gotta listen to Little Feat.
He has!!
Thanks YogZab for the update!! 🤓
I listen to this dity a lot! Can’t get enough of it.
I'm so glad you listened to the Robert Palmer Trilogy, Jamel. It's one of my favorites from him. Which I can see you definitely enjoyed.
Keep great music alive...Jamel, I already told you this one. Little Feat was Robert Palmer's backup band on Pressure Drop.

Brilliant artist. SSTTA is one of my favorite albums ever.
oh... it's ALL about the rest of their catalogs, totally!! go deeeeep!!
“Clues” is my fave of his :)
Underrated New-Wave era classic recorded at Compass Point while Talking Heads were recording Remain in Light, and plays well next to that album.
Totally forgot Clues!! A classic. Thx for reminder!!
I’m actually damn proud of you for finding one of the most underrated blue-eyed soul voices of the 70s. Toss out his 80s pop songs of commercial success everyone knows. Robert Palmer was a stone cold pimp in the 70s. That was his peak.
I highly, HIGHLY, recommend checkin out a hidden gem called “Here With You Tonight” from his second album Pressure Drop.
You won’t be disappointed.
ruclips.net/video/KSMgYQyiqjo/видео.html
Enjoy, brother
❤️❤️ I love the 70s Robert Palmer best. He died WAY too young, and what a talented artist.
'Medley' is the proper term for this piece of fine work. Robert's early stuff was good & funky, and it doesn't hurt to get Lowell George to work with you on it. Treat yourself to some of Lowell's efforts with Little Feat.
And the Funky Meters didn't hurt either
A medley is three or more songs, but they're typically very shortened versions, not the full song.
Glad you finally listened to this. There's a video floating around of a live version club in NYC. Best version ever.
This one, I think? The man is an entertainer, and Pierre Brock's backup vocals? *chef's kiss*

Excellent choice! Thank you for reacting to these--funkalicious!!
Your reaction to this awesome trilogy by Robert Palmer is priceless ❤️
"Implied rhythm" is so healing.
Thank you SO MUCH for reacting to these songs! What a great end to the day!
Buy this album, you will have one of the best times of your musical life. I recommend Pressure Drop too. Robert was even awesome in his early band, Vinegar Joe !
back in the Day the DJ's would just let it run through, bathroom break fodder for them and a genius move to get all three songs played!
And when the music is good... we DANCE!
OMG I love this, I absolutely adore Robert Palmer
A truly perfect performance!! We lost Robert Palmer wayyyyy to early.
Love this trilogy. So much fun, so much soul. TY for going back and reacting to this whole thing. Got me in a mood this morning
Damn fine music!
If you like that Lowell George slide guitar, check out Skin It Back by his band, Little Feat.
Among about 99 great LF tunes!
DAMN! That was funky! So fine! Could not sit still from the first drop. Chair dancing my butt off! RIP Robert Palmer.
Great memories from back in the day!
This is not technically a "trilogy". It is a medley.
I am glad you reacted to this funny, energetic medley of funk.
---OronOfMontreal
You should definitely check out Little Feat. This is the band that first recorded Sailin' Shoes. They were an amazing band. Lead singer and songwriter Lowell George died too soon.
Ahh he's the best xxx so happy. He's got some right old shit. But when he's on it. He's on it xxxx
Man Smart, Woman Smarter is another great Robert Palmer song.
I know I’m late to the party, but I want to give you a thumbs up for this presentation. The two albums that this is from, pressure drop, and sneaking Sally through the alley are both over 50 years old. The beauty of a channel like yours gives the opportunity for a wide range of people to listen to and enjoy music like this. Is this new to me ? Hell no I was 24 years old when his came out, but I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of your subscribers weren’t even born that time. Any, good work sir 👍
This is what I'm talking about! Thank you for this one! Wooo!
I was so lucky as a kid my parents had great taste in music. Yes qlways the trilogy is the best way to listen to these
Robert Palmer is like no one else. So original. I wore this album out in high school.
