It’s been decades since I’ve seen this one and I could tell immediately which ‘girls’ were new and which ones were in the Addicted to Love and Simply Irresistible videos. So much tongue in cheek fun. 🫶🏻👏🏼
Never get tired of this video. The over the top 80s decadence combined with an obvious sense of humor. Suave as he is, he doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously. I love it.
Perfect analogy. He always seemed so slick. All his videos looked the same but he pulled it off perfectly everytime. But this one is the best one. Still listen to it. Thank you Mr. Palmer
I dressed up as a “Robert Palmer Girl” for Halloween my freshman year of college with two friends. Everybody knew what we were supposed to be. Such nostalgia.
I love his videos - a different time, immortalized by a classy man in a suit, surrounded by beautiful women, yet he is still the center of attention. Miss you Robert, artists like you are rare today.
I find it interesting how these women surrounding Robert are simultaneously attractive yet vapid, their heavily made-up faces as vacuous as those of runway models; something assembly-line-ish about them. They never compete with Robert for the camera's attention, but rather wonderfully enhance his own elegance.
He's the James Bond of rock stars. Back when this, Addicted to Love and Simply Irresistable came out, the director said the hardest part was keeping the girls from smiling. Rest in Peace Robert, you are sorely missed.
I miss the 80s-TOO !!! LOL.A great decade indeed.This is my first time seeing this version of the video !!! Very nice,the female dancers in white are killing those dance steps.And of course the song is-GRAND.
When my brother was in Australia a few years ago, he met a concert promoter through work, he said he looked after Robert palmer several times when he was over there, a absolute gentleman, you could not meet a nicer guy r.i.p. Robert.
For those that didn't know...😊 "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" is the debut single written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and originally performed by American singer Cherrelle in 1984. In 1986, "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" was covered by English singer Robert Palmer. Palmer's cover fared better on the pop chart while Cherrelle's version was a hit on the R&B chart.
@@janeentumbao8690 Perhaps that was part of Cherrelle's and Robert Palmer's well planned strategy. Do two versions of a great song and see if the people like them. Seems like the strategy is still working.
I can't think of any other videos from the 80's that are more memorable than Robert's. It's 2024, and his videos and music are still just as good today as when they came out! That's real art right there!!
This song is nearly 40 years old and still kicks ass...how much of today's music will have this staying power? Imagine trying to use that line in 2020 you would be Me Too'd so fast your head would spin.
@@ronpl8473 The reason "nobody" knows is no one heard it until Robert Palmer did it. It's like "Valerie" few heard the original, but most people have heard Amy Winehouse sing it.
Why are soul singers categorized by eye color? Nobody talks about the greatest blue eyed nba player, porn star, chess champion, or any other line of work
@@qwerty52676 Perhaps you're too young to know that "blue-eyed soul" is a popular euphemism for a white artist playing or singing music that had been traditionally associated with black musicians and audiences. The phrase originated as mark of respect for the white musician who could shine even in a genre like soul that is so deeply a part of the black American experience. Whether the white performer, himself, actually had blue eyes is not relevant; what matters is that the eye color in question was considered to be a physical characteristic exclusive to white folk.
The 007 of rock n roll, always dressed like a gentleman, surrounded by beauties never falled in rock n roll excess. So bad he died so young. My respects , R I P Rob
I missed living in the 80’s when MTV rocks and I first saw Robert Palmer swaggering on the stage with model girls playing 🎸 guitars on MTV. R.I.P Robert Palmer!
Brilliant artist. I saw him live twice and he was fantastic. He was as smooth as silk..He had it all and he was a great guy too. Twenty long years since you left us and you are missed!
Saw Robert Palmer & his band at an open air gig on a hot sunny day in Birmingham in '88 with other guest artists & he was absolutely brilliant. How he managed to wear a suit in that heat, he's one cool dude !
When I was a young Black man in the late 80's to mid 90's I couldn't stand Robert Palmer. Today in 2022 as a 57 year old man I love his music. The man was a cool blue eyed soul brother. He really felt the music he made & his voice is one point. I wish I appreciated him sooner.
@ToyotaGuy1971 Back when I was young, I believed only Black people should sing soul music. Now, as an older and wiser man, I understand that anyone of any race can sing soul music and be cool while singing it. That's my point.
Well, *GOOD4you.* Butt doyouknow..'(Palmer) was *uninterested* in most of the excesses of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, although he was a very *heavy* *tobacco* user who smoked as many as *60* cigarettes *a* *day.'* Hope, that will *HELP* hesite you, a bit.. to BE (TooMuch) angel, too.
Forget about the visuals---this is one the HIPPEST Robert Palmer songs recoreded, and there were very many. Definiion of hip: fast, (stylish) attractive, current, and outdistances competitors. You can usually know it when you are on the dance floor and don't have time to thing about how cool you are, you just are, lol.
When I play Robert Palmer My Air conditioner leave the chat !...NOTHING is cooler than Robert Palmer Even Sean Connery runs for cover !
Nobody on this planet will ever be half as cool as Robert Palmer. Rest in peace legend.
Robert Palmer was indeed cool but Bryan Ferry is the coolest.

Still fire. My heart fluttered a little bit when he started singing. Ugh. I miss this dude. This is still a bop in 2024.
This is so iconic. This dude was smoother than an italian marble floor.

He only lived to 54. The man was a gifted musician and composer. He had soul.
My age now. 😥

3 packs a day!!!!! That'll do it every time!
He was the coolest man on the planet.
Hell yeah
Pure fire British soul at the time
Quintessential 80s indeed
Class. Pure class
Pure class a under statement
The suit alone has more talent than all the "musicians" of today. Respect, Mr. Palmer!!
They say the clothes makes the man.
Hilarious, but quite inarguable.
fact
Well, I don't think he was athletic so wouldn't have made a good figure without his suit 😁
😂😂😂 That was a great line
He said it himself, he was so inspired by all the black singers of motown. Roberts style, pizzazz and cool, was so spot on.
When i was a young black man in the 8os a loved Robert palmer and the power station. When he died i actually cried.
Are you a Chic fan? Tony Thompson drummed for both bands. He died in November 2003,two months after Robert Palmer.
Right there with you.
You weren’t the only one my friend.
Are you no longer a black man? Lol
I'm guessing you're either no longer young, no longer black, or no longer a man. 😉
36 years later I still adore this song and its visuals. They haven't aged a bit.
It’s been decades since I’ve seen this one and I could tell immediately which ‘girls’ were new and which ones were in the Addicted to Love and Simply Irresistible videos. So much tongue in cheek fun. 🫶🏻👏🏼
Me too.....the 80s was the best!!😎
hey like I said, the good old music that never gets old. it will never happen.
One of the baddest songs in the planet.
I didn't realize the ladies were a theme...! First time viewing this video. Now I gotta look up Bad Case of Loving You...
Robert Palmer’s style and swagger made him absolutely unique. A lost art in today’s world. R.I.P ...
Certainty perfect comment , great song
Amen to that
This video makes me want to dress up like these ladies. Iconic 80s
Classy and sexy
Because nothing is unique now.
Never get tired of this video. The over the top 80s decadence combined with an obvious sense of humor. Suave as he is, he doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously. I love it.
Exactly, John....his sense of humour is only cloaked to those with none.
Kinda a Cary Grant quality
John, you have the perfect opinion, thank you!
My favorite rock voice of all time .....RIP ......GONE TOO SOON.....
the white version of prince 😂 he definitely means to turn somebody on
Gentleman Robert Palmer. Once Lord Mayor of Nassau, Bahamas. The elegance incarnated. Life was lighter with your songs. You are missed a lot.
I wonder if he knew Sean Connery. Sir Connery had his home in Nassau for many years.
Robert Palmer. The James Bond Of Rock. RIP.
He was the 007 of rock. Good one.
YES...
I posted the same thing years ago on the Simply Irresistable video.
Glad to see I'm not alone.

The best dressed man in Rock! Mr. Palmer you are missed! R I P
I agree, and I remember in85was 18 Im52now still love.
True, along with David Bowie and Bryan Ferry.
Brian ferry was close
Check Loquillo, is other best dressed man in rock (well, spanish rock)
In soul 🎶
There is no one more suave or debonair than Mr Robert Palmer. He owned the 80s.
Exactly! He was the 80s!!
Brian Ferry or Bowie, but Palmer nailed the aesthetic and zeitgeist of the mid 80s.
Robert Palmer , Ronald Reagan and Dom Johnson shaped the image of the 80s
@Kata List Productions Haha agreed , no wonder he was taken away too soon. Life is a bitch
He also had some hits with his group Powerstation. There was only one Robert Palmer. May God rest his soul.
GODDAMN IT MAN! This man was indeed a true gentleman in every sense of the word.
Don't use the Lords name in vain.
no one i mean no one will reach the level of musicianship of the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s again
Nope

I dont think there has ever been anybody cooler than Robert Palmer.
No one! I mean, no one!
So right. I can't think of anyone today.😢
@Fosster115: Bryan Ferry ? I think he comes pretty close.

I agree with your comment except I don't think he was underrated...people know how good Robert Palmer was.
Right! He had a lot of hits and was well respected in the industry.
Would've fit right in to an episode of Miami Vice.

Soo true!
Don’t forget Bryan Ferry. Imagine being in the same room with those 2 gorgeous classy guys !
R.I.P. to one of the handsomest men to ever walk the earth.
Tony Thompson played the drums and that’s what’s guiding the tune to such an extent.
He's the James Bond of rock stars.
Back when this, Addicted to Love and Simply Irresistable came out, the director said the hardest part was keeping the girls from smiling.
Rest in Peace Robert, you are sorely missed.
The James Bond of Rock Stars! I like that. Good description!
They rarely smiled (which was part of the schtick) with their mouths, but in most of his videos, you can see the smile in the eyes.
The James Bond of music to whom other artists have emulated his video style. Well done, Robert Palmer, and may you rest in peace.
That description suits him perfectly.
Excellent description!
James Bond of music- love that.
Perfect analogy.
I've had this classic song on loop the entire day. It lifted my soul to new heights. God I miss the 80s.

That’s not his song tho , Cherrelle first sang it then he covered it. His on was popular on pop stations and her own on R&B.
This is still such a great song.
I bumped this cassette in my Alpine when it dropped and I still do.
Robert Palmer had a lot for the music world. He's worthy of respect, admiration, and appreciation. R.I.P
Robert Palmer: classy, smooth and soulful. Didn't have to jump around to look cool. He could do it with the smallest moves, like 1:18.
May have been a burp.
At the begin of the video, it looked like he was putting the moves together in his head. Too smooth. Loved him!!
See also 0:30
Just noticed that - hilarious. What dude wouldn't want to be Robert Palmer for the duration of the video?
@@hirdy6 That's my point. The dude made even burping look cool. :)
What a true man and legend he left us to soon rest in heavenly peace ROBERT P much respect to you and your family and friends that knew you 😢😢😢🕊️🕊️
I had the chance to know Robert Palmer back in 1987 in Nassau, Bahamas. One of the nicest human being I ever met in the music business.

It's 2021 and this tune is still killer. I thank God for the real musicianship here 🙏.
Tech gets higher
Music degraded
2023...still listening
The GREATEST ROBERT PALMER SONG EVER!
Damn, it kinda hurts to think his greatest song ever was a cover. :(
Cherrelle was the original artist.
I like both versions
Robert transcended all categories, including race, nationality, and musical genre. He’s available to everyone.
Yesssss!!!
Yes he did and still does! Love him still!
Sounded soulful LIKE a black singer
Couldn't have said it better myself! His music bumps from house to house from the best homes to the one room flat in the hood!
This is a cover song originally done by Cheryl. An R&B artist.
I’ve always like Robert Palmer’s cool, laid back style. His music will definitely live on. RIHP ❤🕊️
