      I believe that Robert what is the closest Englishmen 2 ever bridge the gap between what was happening in the UK and what was going down in the USA. Just my opinion and I believe that he absorbed quite a bit of a Lowell George into his repertoire. Robert was no slouch and could hold his own with anybody musically that he was a song stylist and vocalist just like Rod Stewart. He was a mean musician as well he could play many instruments.

    I always wonder, if he were still with us, what Robert Pamler would think of the appreciation that his now nearly 40 year old songs have with people. I know that for some he kind of "sold out" with his more rocky, pop orientated songs. But for me, Robert was man of many flavours and I don't think he ever really gave up his blues roots. You can tell, from his interviews, that that's where his passion lay. Evident, I think, in some of his later stuff. His Marvin Gaye covers are a good example. I'm only 26, but I remember reading in a newspaper, I was on holiday with my father at the time, that he had died and telling my dad. I felt gutted, and so did he. I think Robert was one of those talents you only got once in generation. He's sadly missed, but I'm glad his back catalogue is there for everyone to enjoy. I know I do.
