A good friend when we were little. He lived on the back street from me. His Turtle was always trying to dig it's way out of the back yard. He was shy like me, but we had a good connection. I didn't know he was into music. Didn't talk about it or sing. And he didn't know I was interested in playing an Drums. I didn't have any friends, except Robert. That's when I found out that his family was moving away. RIP my friend.

As an ex smoker (and an athlete in my youth) who performs live, I can assure you that three packs of cigarettes per day is not even a tiny bit "healthy". You wake up hocking and coughing and clear your lungs out- sometimes it takes hours, you lack endurance in any aerobic activity . . . such as dancing around on stage, while singing. If you're a weed smoker and a drinker AND a cigarette smoker it's about 50% worse. I never drank, but I did, and still do, smoke weed. I was running on E at age 49 when my doctor told me to quit: pains in the chest, heavy mucous in my lungs, and I was far more susceptible to every kind of respiratory illness. Quitting cigs gave me 20 more years of performing live. It was soooo worth it. I seldom get sick (colds, flu, etc) in the winter anymore. That, alone, is a big bonus. Kids- your bodies are temples to music; don't fuck them up. You'll play longer and get better that way.

I'm a former smoker who'd go through half to one full pack every other day. No weed, no coke, and only drink socially. Like you said, I was unable to endure long, intense activity on just that little bit of smoking. Dude was blowing through 3 packs a day. There's no way in creation he was "healthy."

@@l.rongardner2150 That era of music was so diverse, you had your choice of Southern Rock such as the Allman Brothers, Glitter rock, David Bowie… Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, downtown clubs like CBGB’s was a wide range of Punk, early Metal Bands, I often went to Roxy Music at the Beacon Theater, Todd Rundgren, was emerging in the same time period, then there was Watkins Glen in 1973. A 3 day outdoor concert with The Band, The Grateful Dead & The Allman Brothers. I got to see Queen at Avery Fisher Hall. In Shea Stadium was Jethro Tull, Lou Reed at the Felt Forum. NYC had wonderful venues such as seeing David Bowie at Radio City Music Hall. Other venue was Gaelic Park, and if I remember correctly it was Mott the Hoople, and perhaps it Spooky Tooth together at the sharing the Bill. Of course Madison Square Garden was always headlining ledges, with a 6 night Tour in 1975, using a unique Stage that was so huge, I heard it was only used in LA and NYC, if I recall correctly it was the Lotus Stage. The Fillmore East had just closed when the Allman Brothers recorded, Live at the Fillmore East. Even Carnegie Hall had some amazing performances starting off with the Beatles in 1964, and from there the list went on. I personally never got to see any of the many Rock Legends that performed at Carnegie Hall. But NYC was busy 24/7 with shows like Rod Stewart, ELO, Led Zeppelin, ELP etc. I was always a fan of Gordon Lightfoot and only after watching his life in documentary did I discover that one of his own personal favorites at Carnegie Hall. Thanks to KZfaq many of these historical performances have been preserved for generations to see. When I seen The Rolling Stones for 6 nights at MSG, tickets in the red sections were $12.50, which is unbelievable to the cost of tickets today. As a young teenager I was at the Orange County Fair, and Chuck Berry did a full two hour show for what I remember costing a dollar, many families were taking their kids to go on the variety of amusement rides, so there was around a hundred people or less watching Chuck Berry only around 20 feet away. So many great artists that I never got to see back then, but I truly grateful for the many live performances that I was fortunate enough to see. The Apollo Theater on 125th always had a great schedule of performances for the coming season. I was able to see a Morton Review.

Really loved Robert's work and remember those great songs and videos back in the 80's. Didn't realize what a heavy smoker he was but was really shocked and saddened when I heard he had died.

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 - 26 September 2003) was an English singer and songwriter. He was known for his powerful, soulful voice, and sartorial elegance, and his stylistic explorations, combining soul, funk, jazz, rock, pop, reggae, and blues. Over his four-decade career, Palmer is perhaps best known for the song "Addicted to Love" and its accompanying video, which came to "epitomise the glamour and excesses of the 1980s".

I saw him at the Werchter festival in Belgium in 1984, with an incredible band, one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Even better than Dire Straits at the same festival. Good memories!

I was there too! For Dire Straits, but Robert Palmer was a great bonus.
