I'm listening to Robert Palmer right now .

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

I think he was a highly underrated artist . I keep " Sneaking Sally Through The Alley " on repeat and also the songs that he did while a member of Powerstation . Sigh , its still hard to believe that he is gone .

[KitchenWitch]

1. very sad

I liked him!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

2. He was a very classy man .

I love his music .

[KitchenWitch]

3. I am listening to Marvin Gaye!

another one lost too early I am afraid.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

4. Yes indeed .

Marvin Gaye was in a class/category on his own that nobody will ever be able to enter .

[MajorFlaw]

5. Which work by Mr. Gaye, if I may ask?

[KitchenWitch]

6. "What's Goin' On"

[MajorFlaw]

7. That one is my personal favorite.

Whenever polls are taken to determine the #1 song ever, that one is grossly underestimated. The entire album is a contiguous "joyous noise." Are you familiar with the rest of his work?

[KitchenWitch]

8. some of it

I need to get me some more though!

It is also my favorite of his. Another one I really like is "Sexual Healing".

[MajorFlaw]

10. "Sexual Healing" is a wonderful piece of work.

Are you familiar with his "Vulnerable" sessions, "Let's Get It On" and Here, My Dear". Mr. Gaye is a favorite of mine.

[KitchenWitch]

11. I have heard "Let's Get it On"

but not "Here My Dear". I will have to check our local used CD store for more of his stuff. :D

13. There is also some fine work that has been grievously overlooked:

"I Want you"
"Dance With Me"
"Piece Of Clay"
"Trouble Man"
"Got To Give It Up"

Ah, I could be here all day . . .

[KitchenWitch]

14. I am officially bookmarking this thread

Gotsta add to my music collection :D

[MajorFlaw]

15. I am honored, Ms Witch.

If I can make any other recommendations, please feel free to ask.

[KitchenWitch]

17. Thanks, I will!

:D

[Webster Green]

9. Great, great song!

Members of Little Feat were all over that album to make it extra funky.

[MajorFlaw]

16. Which members of Little Feat were involved.

I didn't realize that Jamie Jamerson needed any help getting funky. He is all over the "Motown" sound.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

18. So sad about his death.

I spent most of a trans-atlantic flight sitting with him, drinking and talking with him. A witty, intelligent and wonderful British gentleman. Too bad I could never take him up on his invitation to spend some time at his home.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

19. Lucky you ...

Because I absolutely adore his music ... he is one of my idols . I remember listening to his music when I was little girl and just being amazed at his voice and his style . I like male vocalists more than I do female vocalists for some reason ( because my singing voice is alto ) and he was my fave right beside George Michael ( another Brit ) .

20. Palmer was cool, & those tall girls w/black hair w/the way they sauntered

with their unexpressionable faces to his upbeat music in his videos was an unbeatable combination. I really miss him and his work.

His best songs were kind of simple, but sounded as good as they made you feel. Nobody's replaced him yet.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

21. I have some of his videos on my computer .

And yeah you are right about the models and their faces to his music - I loved the way he tried to look serious but you could tell he wanted to bust out in a laugh at any moment ;)

[Deja Q]

22. Simply irresistable.

RIP...

Too early to go; I wonder what he died of...

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

23. Heart attack .
