An excellent "blue-eyed soul" singer, mentioned many times here, usually in connection with another artist. Some excellent '70's albums, and died in '03 during a career resurgence. Always brought good spirit and deep feeling, usually Caribbean-inflected., to his work. A Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Palmer_(singer) and

Exactly why I posted...because he had slipped my mind too. That last album was a revelation--sure could use him (all of him) these days...
