RIGHT UP THERE WITH "SILK DEGREES" BY BOZ SCAGGS..........2007-03-19

... with some of RP's very best recordings found here, including "Every Kinda People", along with lesser-known gems such as "Where Can It Go" and "You Overwhelm Me" - Barry White's string arranger, Gene Page, did a terrific job on those last two tracks.

Now if only Island Records can finally get their act together and remaster each and every one of RP's recordings or, better still, release a box set including B-sides, soundtrack rareties and extended mixes ("Let's Fall In Love Tonight", "All Around The World", etc.)

RP's classiest recording for sophisticated tastes.......2005-02-04

I've been a Robert Palmer fan since the 70's and I have every single one of his recordings. In my opinion, this is his best overall effort if your tastes lean more towards soft sounds with a loungy, reggae groove. Two tracks here (Where Can It Go and You Overwhelm Me) rank among his very best blue-eyed soul, with string flourishes by Gene Page, giving RP a tastefully restrained Barry White-lite sound (without the grunts and groans). I also highly recommend PRIDE, RP's electronica masterpiece.

Sounds Better With Every Listen.......2004-10-26

Robert Palmer's masterpiece. Of all of the white soul singers out there influenced by Marvin Gaye, you would have to put Palmer very high on the list. These are wonderful adult contemporary songs that are full of soul, heart, sass, sexiness, and intelligence. Excellent compositions, and Palmer sings them very well.

The whole vibe of this album makes this part of the 1970's look good. Loads of fun. Great album cover. This is the perfect laid back island vacation or sailboating record.

R.P.'s Best Album.......2004-06-16

this is quite simply robert palmers greatest album. why do you think they named the greatest hits album after a song from this record? don't be a fool, buy this record now.

Double Fun,Quadruple Treat!.......2003-11-13

This is the fourth of Robert Palmer's foursome of elegant,
funk R&B-tinged albums he recorded in the mid to llate 1970's and
it is yet another highpoint."Every Kind Of People" with it's
hihgly catchy steel drum melody is by far the ONLY way to start this album."Best Of Both Worlds" is an excellent Philly-style
dance number offering a welcome alternative to the Staurday Night
Fever infecting much of music at this point and on the strident
"Come Over" and the Sly Stone-style groove of The Kinks classic
"You Really Got Me" Palmer gives up the FONK!!!Think late 70's
pop was dull and shallow?Then pick this up (plus the three albums
