Julie Pankhurst (Keyboards), Julia Bolino (Guitarist), Mak Gilchrist (Bass Guitar), Patty Kelly (Guitarist), Kathy Davies (Drummer) and Mr. Robert Palmer himself on vocals in the “Addicted to Love” music video, directed by Terence Donovan.
“I think there were discussions at the time about the objectification of women. I think that missed the point, though. The brief from Terence Donovan was to look like shop window mannequins. I guess his reasoning was that in so many videos women were being blatantly objectified so why not poke fun at that and offer something they’ll never be able to get hold of. We didn’t have a come-hither look in our eyes. It was a look but you can’t touch. We were dangerous ornaments. Out of reach and perfect accessories to Mr. Palmer’s bespoke tailored suit.” — Mak Gilchrist
