Those who only associate Robert Palmer with singing "Addicted to Love" in the 1980s in front of black-clad models do both Palmer and themselves a great disservice. In fact, from the '70s on, Palmer credibly covered everyone from the Meters to Gary Numan, and successfully tackled blues, soul, reggae, rock, R&B, and even calypso. The British singer's smooth-yet-soulful voice was a rare and precious thing, and his knack for selecting material was peerless. Perhaps most important to his career was an uncanny ability to adapt to changing times and musical movements, something made exceedingly clear over the course of the two-disc BEST OF BOTH WORLDS compilation. Hearing Palmer lend his unique tone to Toots & the Maytals' "Pressure Drop" and Little Feat's "Sailin' Shoes" in his early years is just as entrancing as listening to his shift into dance-rock with the supergroup Power Station ("Some Like It Hot") and straight-up, synth-driven R&B ("I Didn't Mean to Turn You On") in the '80s. Like his contemporary Bryan Ferry, Palmer was always a class act, stylish no matter the style, and BEST OF BOTH WORLDS is an ideal way to enter his eclectic world.   Artist Overview Robert Palmer was best known as the smoothie who monopolized MTV in the 1980s, crooning "Addicted to Love" before a backdrop of guitar-wielding models, though he had far more substance than that image would suggest. The British soulster began in an English R&B outfit called Vinegar Joe before going solo in the mid-1970s. His early albums found him backed by the Meters and Little Feat, churning out striking versions of reggae and R&B classics. By the turn of the decade, he'd rocked up his sound, added sleek synths, and taken to covering Gary Numan. Until his death in 2003, soul and style were Palmer's watchwords.
