Product Description

Out of print in the U.S.! From his solo debut in the mid '70s to his death three decades later, Robert Palmer was one of Rock's finest vocalists, with each performance filled with soul, power and emotion. His undying musical creativity ensured that each of his albums would retain his signature sound, yet would be a successful step in a different direction. He was truly a Rock chameleon, as this album proves. Originally released in 1976, Some People... features 10 tracks including 'One Last Look', 'Man Smart (Woman Smarter)' and 'Keep In Touch'. Universal. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars At His Best., June 25, 2004

By	Edward Anthony G. (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews

For those that have bought all the top rated Robert Palmer albums and have not heard this one, what were you thinking? This is in my opinion is thee best album that he had recorded, 'One Last Look' is a true love rock soul song and 'Spanish Moon' is a superb version. 'What Can You Bring Me' alone sells this cd but once you sit down and listen you will listen over and over. I burned out my album when this was issued and I'll probley do the same to this disc, the line up of musicians is great with many members of "Little Feat" complimenting Palmers soulful voice. I think you will find this one of his finest and one of the most under rated. God Bless Robert Palmer..

4.0 out of 5 stars This is where it really began, August 26, 2003

By	David W. Small "segueman" (Vicenza Italy) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't care what anybody says. THIS is THE place to start. This is THE GREAT unknown/forgotten Robert Palmer Album. don't do the collections. Get the real albums and start HERE. The title track, Gotta Get a Grip and ONE LAST LOOK are absolute CLASSICS!! ((not included on most (any?) of the best-of's.)) Almost worth it FOR THE COVER ALONE!! One of the coolest covers in all of Rock. A must-see up close, facial expression on the guy (it's RP), is priceless. and YES they corrected the cover, however in apparent HASTE as there be no "larger image"...
THIS and Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley are the place to start. (in that order)

5.0 out of 5 stars not about to pay $90 for a new one, February 3, 2007

By	James Demestihas (Reno, NV. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

had it on vinyl when new.
Definitely his best, but not about to pay $50 for used not to mention $90 for new.
Why isnt the record company releasing it again?
Most artists stuff is re-released when they pass for record company to cash in. Why not this one?
A great talent was lost. Got to see him live once.
