Most people primarily know Robert Palmer as the smooth crooner surrounded by sultry, black-clad models in the hit video for "Addicted to Love". Yet At His Very Best reveals him to be far more than simply a suave lady-killer. Indeed, he could be considered one of the finest white soul singers of his generation. Of course, his 1980s heyday is well represented here. "Addicted to Love" is a stand-out, alongside such hits as "Some Guys Have All the Luck", "Simply Irresistible" and "Some Like It Hot", the big hit he shared with Duran Duran 's John and Andy Taylor as the Power Station . But fans will also enjoy the disco stylings of 1978's "Every Kinda People" (written by Free 's Andy Fraser), the swampy funk of 1974's "Sneakin' Sally Thru the Alley" and a minimalistic but driving cover of ZZ Top 's hilariously dumb "TV Dinners". This last track is a telling choice. Though Palmer is a serious student of music, he has always exhibited a gratifying sense of humour, a quality that's contributed mightily to his long-standing success. He's a wealthy man, and a diamond geezer. --Dominic Wills France. Review: Quality product and service - Awesome music Review: Lovely cd - Wanted this for my collection and was not disappointed.

Some old gems
I bought this CD recently when I heard She Makes My Day and it was stuck in my head for days. It's a great CD with some classic tracks. Several of which I didn't realise were by Robert Palmer. Highlights, for me, are some of his bigger hits in She Makes My Day, I'll Be Your Baby Tonight and Mercy Mercy Me, and Johnny And Mary (An advertising classic!) 8 of the 19 tracks have made it onto my playlist which isn't bad at all for under a fiver.

Great selection of songs
After recently hearing a Robert Palmer tune on the radio which I hadn't heard for ages, I realized I had none of his CDs.I chose this one as I recognized the majority of the titles. Most of the songs I had not heard since they were released so hearing them brought back many happy memories! Robert had a fantastic voice and the collection is varied and well chosen. A great CD - would recommend.

Great Sound
Got this on a black Friday deal, It was easy enough to set up although I found navigating the app took some getting used to. I have both the Apple home pod and Sonos speakers that have better sound quality but I was surprised at how great the Echo sound was for the price point, the Alexa smart system on the Echo is far superior to the apple Siri. This i Guess is starting to get in to the Amazon Eco system, highly recommended.

Smooth !
Robert is one of the few singers I've heard that can slip from soft rock to regular pop to ballads & even soul music so seamlessly. Robert had many more hits then most would imagine and indeed the very best of them are on this disc.of course everyone will remember his 'addicted to love' & probably 'I didn't mean to turn you on' but can you remember his version of mercy mercy me and some guys have all the luck. Both those songs and many more brilliant songs make for a really good hour or so relaxing and leaving your troubles behind.

forgotten gem
Initially purchased for 2-3 songs but found the rest of the album was full of forgotten gems. A cracking singer and album. How could I have forgotten how many brilliant songs Mr Palmer not only sang but wrote too. Hasn't been out of the player since.
