ROBERT PALMER 

There's some really poor quality versions of this knocking about t'interweb so let's put that right for a start! I have said how much I enjoyed the work of Robert Palmer and whilst this is looking more and more like an anachronistic ole perves work (I should know!) the music is astonishing here IMHO. This is Heavy Soul! 
Turn it up and remember it as being from Not Even Slightly Sexist Productions Ltd!

Simply Irresistible!

"She compromised my principles" . . . . . . I bet! This is horny pop at it's very best . . . .

Jeff Harris from the wondrous Behind The Grooves notes:

On this day in music history: June 22, 1988 - “Heavy Nova”, the tenth studio album by Robert Palmer is released. Produced by Robert Palmer, it is recorded at Logic Studios in Milan, Italy and Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas from January - April 1988. The album is Palmer’s first for new label EMI Records after ending his fifteen year association with Island Records. The title is inspired by Palmer’s fondness for both heavy metal and bossa nova music. Using some of the same musicians that played on his previous album “Riptide”, Palmer handles the production chores himself when Bernard Edwards is unavailable. The album features numerous guest musicians including arranger Claire Fischer, guitarist Eddie Martinez (Meatloaf, Run DMC, Mick Jagger), Tom “T-Bone” Wolk (Hall & Oates), famed Brazilian percussionist Dom Um Romão, and keyboardist Garth Hudson of The Band. It spins off three singles including the top five smash “Simply Irresistible” (#2 Pop, #1 Mainstream Rock). “Simply Irresistible” wins Palmer his second Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance in 1989. The song is also featured in an ad campaign for Pepsi featuring the singer and many of the same female models used in the music video. “Heavy Nova” peaks at number thirteen on the Billboard Top 200, and is certified Platinum in the US by the RIAA.
