Back in the 80s he recounted his involvement with this song and was also complimentary of Robert Palmer's ability to communicate his desires to musicians in a way that made sense. Contrast this to singers who say things like "could you make the second verse more blue ?". Or what about "the last chorus needs to cry more". Anyway as is usually the case it's the anonymous workhorse musicians who don't get enough credit which almost always go to the marquee names. The same thing happened in David Bowie's relationship with the stellar Carlos Alomar who helped structure much of Bowie's music starting with Young Americans. For both Palmer and Bowie it was always about the groove and rhythm and they had their sources for getting it - too bad not enough people know about those sources. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
