The Best of Both Worlds

Robert Palmer recorded this song for 1978's Double Fun album. This a live performance five years later.

Tight as a drum, indeed.

Looking for Clues

Robert Palmer's Clues came out in 1980, a good five years before you couldn't help but hear him on the radio or (more likely) see him on television with a band of Teutonic models with excessive lipstick.

Clues was a fun record, and ahead of its time: synths, but not frothy, and a dance record with real grooves. Palmer recorded it at Compass Point studios in the Bahamas, with some Talking Heads crossover.

With Looking For Clues, he made one seriously hilarious video.
