He was known for his powerful and soulful voice, his sartorial elegance, and his stylistic explorations, combining soul, funk, jazz, rock, pop, reggae, and blues. Over his four-decade career, Palmer is perhaps best known for the song &#8220;Addicted to Love&#8221; and its accompanying video, which came to &#8220;epitomise the glamour and excesses of the 1980s&#8221;. Three of his hit singles, including &#8220;Addicted to Love&#8221;, featured music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan.<br \/>\nPalmer died from a heart attack in a Paris hotel room on 26 September 2003 at age 54.<br \/>\n[ <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robert_Palmer\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em><span style=\"color: #999999;\">wikipedia<\/span><\/em><\/a> ]\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ Robert Palmer &#8211; &#8220;Simply Irresistible&#8221; (1988 &#8211; Video) ] &#8220;Simply Irresistible&#8221; is the 1st single released by English rock singer Robert Palmer from the 1988 studio album Heavy Nova.
