A album that for me never seems to fail.Raphael Saadiq (born Charlie Ray Wiggins on in Oakland, California) is an acclaimed singer, songwriter and record producer.
So far ahead with the use of synths and different styles of music. I always loved his music, and this ''Pride'' album, imho, was Palmer's 'Lovesexy' sort of album in his career. I even wonder what Prince thought of Robert Palmer ?īy the way, Robert Palemer's ''Pride'' album is so asolutely great, everyone here should try it. The song is fierce, and don't know if it was up Robert's alley. He must've loved whatever came from the Prince camp, having a song of Prince (''Lust You Always'') given to him by Prince. I like Cherelle's too, but Palmer's one is cool and funky as hell. Robert Plamers is a really fantastic version. I just discovered recently (like last week on SiriusXM) that this song was written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Nelson.īut, everybody's choices on this thread are awesome too. I just remembered how much I love Robert Palmer singing "I didn't mean to turn you on" as a duet with B. The Korgies - ''Everybody's got to learn sometimes'' Sparks - ''This Town Ain' Big Enough For The Both Of Us'' Stevie Wonder ''Duke'' & so many others.Ĭhaka Kahn - ''I'm Every Woman'' & ''Ain't Nobody''ĮLO - ''Living Thing'' & ''All Over The World'' Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - ''Come up and see me (make me smile)'' Michael Jackson - ''PYT'' & ''Human Nature''Įlton John - ''Sacrifice'' & ''Don't Go Breaking My Heart''ĭonald Fagen - ''New Frontier'' & ''I.G.Y.'' Nile Rogers - ''Land Of The Good Groove'' Steve Winwood - ''While You See A chance'' & ''Night Train'' Olivia Newton-John - ''Magic'' & ''Physical''ĭoobie Brothers - ''What A Fool Believes'' & ''ListenTo The Music'' Queen - ''Somebody to Love'' & ''You're My Best Friend''īowie - ''Heroes'' & ''Absolute Beginners''įleetwood Mac's - ''Sarah'' & ''Go Your Own Way'' I always thought it was such a clever story. They then realize they have more in common than they ever realized. When she walks in, he recognizes her just by the curve of her face. They both answer each other's add and agree to meet at a bar. Both people are tired of their relationship, place a personal ad in the paper, both unaware of the other. * I know people are tired of the "Pina Colada Song." But if folks just listen to the lyrics, and get what's going on, it's a great story.
