		Robert Alan Palmer was born on January 19 1949 at Batley, Yorkshire, and spent his early years in Malta, where his father worked for Naval Intelligence.
		Palmer was a workaholic and a perfectionist; he refused to take days off when he was on the road (he once played 69 nights in a row) and said that while on tour he preferred playing scrabble and doing crosswords to rock'n'roll excesses.
		In 1993 Palmer settled at Lugano, Switzerland, partly, he explained, because he found that the Bahamas had become overrun with drugs and guns and was no longer a safe place for him to bring up his children.

	Issues: Perspectives (September 2002): Robert R. Palmer
		Robert R. Palmer, world renowned scholar of European history and past president of the AHA, died at the age of 93 on June 11, 2002.
		Palmer's moral compass was set in relation to liberal democracy, and his narrative accordingly depicts the Jacobin dictatorship as at once necessary, flawed, creative, successful, and disastrous.
		By the time Palmer retired, a new set of perspectives seemed to dominate the field of French revolutionary studies: the neoliberal (or neoconservative) revisionism of François Furet and his colleagues, the discourse analysis pioneered by Quentin Skinner, and the approaches generated by the influence of cultural studies.

	RollingStone.com: Robert Palmer : Robert Palmer Dies : News
		Born in Batley, England, on January 19, 1949, Palmer grew up on the island of Malta, before returning to Britain as a teen, where his soul-tinged voice fronted a few unprofessional bands before he fell in with the Alan Bown Set.
		Palmer got a bit eclectic on his next album, 1988's Heavy Nova, and not-surprisingly the biggest hit came in the form of "Simply Irresistible" (Number Two), the song that most sounded like a Riptide cut.
		Palmer still scratched the deeper regions of the charts with singles like "You're Amazing" and "Mercy Mercy Me" in the early Nineties and in 1996 he reconvened the Power Station.

	Robert Palmer, Rhythm & Blues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		I thought Robert Palmer's new CD Rhythm & Blues would be, as the title suggests, somewhat reminiscent of jazz, rhythm and blues.
		In fact, this entire album is filled with variations on this theme of love: true love, finding love, the inability to stop thinking about the one you love, finding that special person for a wise guy, choosing someone, and the list goes on.
		In this song, Palmer shortens his consonants and syllables in the chorus, in seeming emulation of James Brown's funky beats and singing styles, without the signature "yows" and screaming.
