Customer Reviews:

Sing that funky music white boy!.......2006-06-06

This CD chronicles the late Robert Palmer's journey from funked-up soul singer and 70s pop stylist through his new wave and techno era to commercial-rock MTV star. The journey begins with his killer medley of "Sailin' Shoes", "Julia", and "Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley" backed by Little Feat and ends on this disc with a rowdy live version of "Simply Irresitable". Regardless of what style of music he did, he always sang with a genuine gutsy soul style. In between, the album cruises through the aformentioned musical genres in a somewhat jagged manner. It's not that any of it is bad; it's just a little aggravating the way the music jumps from one style to another as you listen to this release. However, that's the only way an overview of Palmer's singing career can be presented. Robert Palmer has always been one of my favorite singers, and I will keep and (selectively) cherish this CD. Be sure to check out his last album "Drive", which featured some full-blown, hardcore blues, and also his Power Station material.

Good overview of his best work.......2005-11-12

Robert Palmer already had a body of work when MTV catapulted him to superstar status.Alas,this was for him a double-edged sword as his video image leading his zombie girl band began to overshadow and undervalue his work-others,like Cyndi Lauper, had this problem as well.This CD should restore his credibility,however, as it showcases his gifts as a singer of his own fine songs and as an interpreter of the material of others.There is no Power Station and some of his last worthy work,created after leaving the label,is also missing but what is here is a generous sample of his talent and versatility.
