I had a chance to have him on my radio program via the
telephone from Switzerland last year.  He was sweet,
humble and from our off the air conversation - really
loved his family.

He left some really nice records behind,

Robert Palmer, the British singer known for his '80s
hits "Addicted To Love" and "Simply Irresistible,"
died Friday in Paris.  He was 54.

The Associated Press reports that Palmer suffered a
heart attack while enjoying a two-day break in the
French capital city.  According to his manager, Palmer
had just completed a recording session in Britain.

Remembered for his snappy suits and being flanked by a
number of models in miniskirts in the "Addicted To
Love" video, Palmer was never one to take his musical
subject matter too seriously.

"I can't think of another attitude to have toward an
audience than a hopeful and a positive one," he once
said.  "And if that includes such unfashionable things
as sentimentality, well, I can afford it."
