Always remeber him for that Addicted to Love Video. Massive shock and will be sadly missed.

[steve56]

perhaps they will reissue the early stuff,mandrake paddle steamer/alan bowns too.

[Pervert]

Agreed. She Makes My Day was another classic. He had a lot of good stuff, rather overshadowed by the success of Addicted To Love. Can't find the CD at present, but what was the name of the song ripping the pish out of Olivia Newton-John's Phsyical: "it's her idea of fun to take it on the run . . . "

Power of Love from Back to the Future was by Huey Lewis and the News, although still a great song in its day.
Palmer was, however also in The Power Station (think that was the name) with some of the boys from Duran Duran, can't remember them being too successful though.

[steve56]

they revived the old t.rex classic get it on

The local radio staion here fucked up by saying it was Robert Plant, and then apologised.
