the poor children that think Robert Palmer got his start with ADDICTED to LOVE. whole nother career

Every once in a while my brain tells me it's been too long since I listened to this, thank you brain for remembering, and thanks to my parents for me being born in 1955. I got to listen to all the good music!! 🌹

It's hard to believe that this came out 50 years ago. I've been listening to it regularly that long.

I've been listening to this for decades. Never gets old. The cast of musicians is legendary and Palmer's soul is riding high. LOVE THIS JAM.

One of the best medley's ever!

Wow the first time I heard this I was about 16...many years ago 😊. I was hooked

Blows me away every time!!

Freakin genius, and I'm a Julia...from the 70's and it was a great time to be a teenager, just sittin in the basement listening to records....AND STUFF....takes me back and makes me smile from ear to ear...🎧🎼🎵🎶🔊📻🎺

I saw him in concert and he was so laid back . When he wasn't singing he would step back from the mike and just let the muscians play. He was the definition of cool.

I wish that people would realize that he was a vocalist, not a rock star. If you choose to call him a sellout, it's your loss. I think that the man had amazing talent and should be celebrated.

I got to see him live @ the Apollo Theatre opening for Rick James. Needless to say, it was one long funky night of music. Robert Palmer earned the audience's respect that night....May they both keep the show going in heaven....

I Thank you God for determining that my Birthday was in 1956 because of the history of music was at it's best I may not always remember my name but my memory of music is endless 🎼🎶🎶🎼🎶🙏

Putting an Ad in the middle of this Song is just so P A T H E T I C...

Robert Palmer was seriously underrated. RIP

You gotta love "The Trilogy" When I was 17 every payday I went to Argus tapes and records to see what was new. The old hippy behind the counter told me to check this out. I got tuned on to Little Feat and Robert Palmer at the same time. I've been thankful to him for 45 years now.

song is gonna drop

Robert Palmer is MISSED by soooooooooo many of! 1993, Ohio State Fair = $3 concert ticket. Metal bleachers. My 3yo tumbled down and let out a scream. HE STOPPED THE CONCERT TO ASK IF SHE WAS OK!!!! I LOVE THIS MAN & HIS VOICE!!!

The best 3 song medley of all time. This shit just feels so good. Lowells touch is all over this. Love it!

Lowell George on slide!!!! RIP "Fat Man in the Bathtub"

"Trying to talk double-talk get myself in trouble talk, catching myself in lies".

If you don't move to this tune, check yourself in, as you've done lost your funk. My neighbors loved this song so much, that they threw a rock through my window to hear it better...

I had this recorded on 8 track when I was a teenager! My friends and I would pile into my Dodge Swinger, we would just drive, get high, and sing our lungs out! Thanks for the memories Robert Palmer!

I love him...been listening to him for forever...love every song he does

Palmer's debut recorded in NOLA with Lowell George producing it. Absolutely wonderful triumvirate of top tier songs.

THE finest suite of three cuts ever strung together for repositioning your disposition. If you can't feel this funk, get in the box, it's over. This was the genius Lowell George and Little Feat backing Palmer here. It's timeless and perfect. RIP Lowell, Robert, Ritchie, and Paul.

I am obsessed with this “trio” and all R.P’s performances, he was just a great performer with an amazing voice. I am a big fan of his music. Timeless gems.

Talked to a girl named Julia at work and started singing this....God, forgot how damn good this was! Surviving 2020!

When this song came out I was living it, even the ' use her car' part, but after 41 years I'm still married to the 'foxy wife'. Our Anniversary was yesterday.

Never gets old. Such good groove

This song blows me away every time I listen to it. It has such classic bass lines. There are so many amazing musicians on these cuts. It's truly an all-star lineup. Players from Little Feat, Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Bad Company, etc...

A major performance by one of the great vocalists of the 70's. He was one of a kind. What a great tribute to Allen Toussaint, the writer of Sneakin' Sally. R.Palmer covered at least one other song of his on the album Double Fun, which I played until I wore out the grooves. Bless him. He left us too soon. RIP.

I met them in Ocean City MD. I asked if I could hang after the show and they took me with them. I hung with the guitar player, a complete gentleman, awesome experience. It was when Double Fun came out. I got a Double Fun scarf and a backstage pass 2 months later left for me at the Warner Theater in DC ticket box. Blew my mind he remembered, had no idea if ticket would be there. Wet Willie opened up for them. I met Wet Willie years before that at a place called My Brother's Bar in Alabama. I could go on, but fond memories of talented people!!

My brother and sister are about a decade older than I am… I was born in 71… I remember riding around in my sisters boyfriends van when I was a kid and they would always be playing this trilogy of songs… And ever since then it’s just been one of my favorites it’s such a groovy set !! Like a lot of the best music out there, it just doesn’t get old doesn’t sound dated you couldn’t put a year to this if you’ve never heard it before in your life… You just be like what the hell is this?!?! Translation I can crank it at a red light and feel no shame or embarrassment at all lol.

All of his Power Station stuff, all of his solo stuff in the "Addicted To Love" era...none of it holds a candle to the music he was making at this time. This had as much if not more soul to it than anything you'd hear from anyone on the airwaves in 1974.

One of my favourite albums. Been playing it for decades.

I saw him in concert at a small venue in the 70’s. All these old favorites felt like they were just being sung to us! ❤. Left us too early RIP Robert Palmer

This was my antidote to disco style

One of the funkiest tracks EVER, period.

I gotta play this every now and again.... I just gotta!

One of the greatest lines in a song ever. "If you can't find nothing wrong with your mind you better find something wrong with her." OUCH!

A clavinet will always bring a funkiness to any song. Lowell George & The Meters were the backing group on this album. Brilliant stuff, flat out.

Wow! Ziggy Modeliste so deep in the pocket on Sneakin' Sally there's no way he can get out!

Clllaaassic! Early Robert shows his absolute mastery. One of the great voices of rock!

ONE OF THE BEST MEDLEYS EVER,

People forget he was only 23 when he recorded this. I mourn him still.

Leslie here,can you believe that this awesome jam is 50 something years old!! And just keeps me shaking my ass!! Rock on and Peace ✌️ 🎼🎸🔥⚜️☮️💋

Robert Palmer - YOU ARE IN MY SYSTEM One of the best dancing tunes ever!

This is the bomb for Robert Palmer ! I was about 15 when this came out ! His very best to me ! FM Radio was great back then !

The best trilogy of songs ever! Thanks for posting.

Hey hey Julia been around since the 70's. Always listened. Great album. Kids nowadays, have no idea what their missing.

Never tire of this weaving of 3 mini masterpieces together so seamlessly! But what draws me to it again and again are the silky smooth background vocals. Nothing beats great songs with incomparable backup singing. And this is among my favorites in a long list.

Best ten minutes of my day..

Thank you for the musician listing, per track.

The 70s were Robert's glory period. I mean this medley is sooooooo good. It doesn't FEEL like nine minutes long, you know? I want it to keep going when it's over

...More SOUL than he can control!

A true keeper ,this man know's how to rock whats between my ears

There are 2 people who watched this who gave this a "thumbs-down." Those 2 people have no clue...

I think you need to have grown up in this time period to fully appreciate how funky this whole thing is. Trust me, as a guy who was into funk at this time period, THIS was pretty freakin' badass.

RIP Robert Palmer! We really miss the hell out of you!! You’re one serious rock legend! They got better music talent in Heaven than what we have on earth.

Lowell George and Little Feat -- the perfect blend of rock, country and New Orleans R&B. NO ONE did it better!!!

Can't go wrong with that rhythm section - probably the best ever, and Lowell George.

Ya’ I gotta play this......puts a smile on my face !!

Bought this album when it first came out. Still sounds as good as the first time I played it.

No music like this today! Outstanding and it holds up so damn good!

"Like a fish I just rose to the bait." What a razor line.

"I sure would love to handle what's between your ears!"

This is how to cut loose when recording a vocal. He is having a blast here. The opposite of phoning it in. Amazing.

Never get tired of listening to this one.

I always wonder, if he were still with us, what Robert Pamler would think of the appreciation that his now nearly 40 year old songs have with people. I know that for some he kind of "sold out" with his more rocky, pop orientated songs. But for me, Robert was man of many flavours and I don't think he ever really gave up his blues roots. You can tell, from his interviews, that that's where his passion lay. Evident, I think, in some of his later stuff. His Marvin Gaye covers are a good example. I'm only 26, but I remember reading in a newspaper, I was on holiday with my father at the time, that he had died and telling my dad. I felt gutted, and so did he. I think Robert was one of those talents you only got once in generation. He's sadly missed, but I'm glad his back catalogue is there for everyone to enjoy. I know I do.

This has been on my playlist or flash drive or cassette for four or five decades!!! Good Times!!!

"up pops the queen!"

We used to play this on KLBJ-FM, back in the 70's and 80's. Love, love, love this funky stuff!!

And some of the coolest bass lines ever.

There's never been a white man alive with more Soul than Robert Palmer I got this album when it first came out and went to see him in concert and everybody was quiet in the auditorium until he played Sneakin Sally Through the Alley and not a soul was sitting everyone was up dancing and I'll never forget that night

I lived in NOLA when this came out. Was a Meters fan mostly back then so when came on the local radio I snapped it up as soon as I could get to the store. Don't forget Allen Toussaint who called the shots on this! Still have the LP and I really appreciate you putting this on the tube. Sneaking Through The Alley With Sally was written by Allen Toussaint, by the way.

Put on your sailing shoes.... How funky are they??? Love it.

just want to get up and dance to this great classic. can't sit still.

Wow! I am working on learning all 3 of these songs, love the Meters and am from New Orleans so hope to carry the tradition of these songs as best as possible, long live that NOLA funk!

What I can't figure out is how Palmer is in the Rock and Roll HOF and Lowell George, Little Feat and the Meters are not.

He can feel the music for sure! Such a great talent!

This is the BEST Robert Palmer. Ever!

This brings back so many memories. It is so great. Use to play it on 96 Rock in Atlanta Ga.

He was so handsome and well-dressed, Time Magazine once called him “the Michael Caine of rock.”

Hey Julia -- great poetry; great groove. Reminds me of Rufus and Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing" -- simple rhymes, simple groove -- dig it!

There's a lady in a turban In a cocaine tree And she does a dance so rhythmically She's a crying and a singing Havin' a time But don't that cocaine tree look fine But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes Put on your sailin' shoes Everyone will start to cheer When you put on your sailin' shoes Doctor, doctor, I feel so bad This is the worst day I ever had Have you this misery a very long time? Well if you if, I'll lay it on the line But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes Put on your sailin' shoes Everyone will hip hooray When you put on your sailin' shoes Jedidah He's got a dime says he catches more fish every time Well I've gotta line If you've got a pole Well I'll meet you at the fishing hole But you gotta put on your sailin' shoes Put on your sailin' shoes Everyone will start to cheer When you put on your sailin' shoes Said, everyone put on Put on your sailin' shoes "Hey Julia" Hey, hey julia, you're acting so peculiar I know I'd never fool you in a million years A horn section you resemble and your figure makes me tremble And I sure would like to handle what's between your ears You're a temptation to a man I could not resist you and I won't if I can You're so unexpected and whatever you injected made me feel how I felt when I sang Hey, hey julia you're acting so peculiar I know I'd never fool you in a million years You're a strain on my eyeses and you're full of surprises Love materializes soon as you come near. There's a sensation you create, Robs me of my sleep and I've forgotten the date My head started spinning soon as you started singing And like a fish I just rose to the bait. Hey, hey julia with your crazy sense of humor You turn fact into rumor soon as you come near A horn section you resemble and your figure makes me tremble And I sure would like to handle what's between your ears You're a temptation to a man I could not resist you and I won't if I can. You're so unexpected and whatever you injected made me feel how I felt when I sang Julia, you're a danger just like giving sweets to strangers And I think it's time I took you in hand "Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley" Sneakin' sally through the alley Sneakin' sally through the alley Sneakin' sally through the alley Trying to keep her out of sight Sneakin' sally through the alley When up pops the wife I said, ah I can't find nothing wrong with being friends cos sometimes She lets me use the car She said if you can't find nothing wrong with your mind You'd better find something wrong with her, her So I began to explain ah that it wasn't just ah what she thought I'd better find something to do with my time The fact is I've just been caught Sneakin' sally through the alley Sneakin' sally through the alley Trying to get away clean Sneakin' sally through the alley When up pops the queen Trying to double talk, get myself in trouble talk, catching myself in lies Catching myself in lies Mama just looked at me as if I was, ah, crazy And didn't even bat an eye So I began to try to explain, ah that it just wasn't what she thought I'd better find something to do with my time The fact is ah just been caught, just been caught, Sneakin, sneakin, sneakin, Trying to talk doubletalk, get myself in trouble talk Catching myself in lies, catching myself in lies Mama just looked at me as if I was crazy She didn't even bat an eye Sneakin' sally through the alley with sally Sneakin' sally through the alley with sally Sneakin sally through the alley Sneakin sally through the alley Sneakin sally through the alley

Absolutely incredible

Saw him the early 70s. He had the audience in the palm of his hand. We were all singing & dancing.

Damn! Sometimes I miss my vinyl so much. Had this one too. :)

I LOVE THIS SONG.....one of my most favorites! March 2019!🧡💛💚💙💜

Dam !!! This is the fist time I've heard this and I'm so hooked !!! Just played it 3 times in a row...wow !!! I've always loved Robert Palmer...but there's so much more of his music I missed...Thanks Robert...RIP Brother !!!

Always a great go to song. Never gets old and loved it since I was a kid in the 70s. 👍 Nobody is feeling it anymore.

I always thought this medley was one of the funkiest grooves in rock n roll. I will get killed for this, but I like Palmer Sailin shoes better than Feat’s version

I recall this Album As a matter of fact I still have it.Some friend to my father's visiting from America, gave it as gift in 1975 right about June: Being from Nigeria (Lagos) and young I just liked the photo on the album and the different beat lyric when my father played it on his grundig radiogram: Brings back good memories indeed:

Two of my Very favorite artists that had been taken way to Early....Robert Palmer and Lowell George. So glad their music lives on..... Sailin' Shoes (Lowell George): Lowell George- guitar Leo Nocentelli- guitar George Porter Jr- bass Art Neville- piano, clavinet Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste- drums What a Band....Perfection

This is some great old shit i mean come on. The Late Great R.I.P. ROBERT PALMER.

A phenomenal musical menage a trois. Loved it since '75...

And yes, this guy was seriously underrated

What great music. I remember Sneaking w/Sally all over fm radio when it first came out.

Hey Julia has some groovy poetry -- it all fits well. :)

This medley is my favorite of Robert Palmer's. Every Kind of People, "Mercy, Mercy Me" and "Can We Still Be Friends?". I really enjoy Palmer's versions of "Every Kind of People" and "Can We Still Be Friends?". Do I like Marvin Gaye's and Todd Rundgren's more? Yes. Love 'em. Palmer has a different voice and brings it's own funkiness. Glad I caught him twice. Also Steve Goodman. See live music folks. It's one of the best things in life!
