Labelle £0,e850091
Robert Palmer joins the ranks
of English acts--AWB , Elton John,
David Bowie and others --who are
siz,zling the states this summer with
third generation rhythm'n 'blues and
disco sounds .
Palmer, former vocalist with
Dada (a 12-piece jazz-rock group)
and with Vinegar Joe, went solo
after Vinegar Joe disbanded this
year and decided to record an album
of r'n'b, his favorite kind of music .
The title song from his album,
" Sneakin' Sally Th rough the A lley,"
was writtrf by New Orleans' pre-
eminent soul man, A llen Toussaint,
and this funky little single (Island
006) should prove Palmer's chances
for success in the states .
Other songes of the album
could become chart material, also,
should the label decide to make
8,enda 1 ee M CA 40385
singles with them .
Producing the music for Palmer
was Steve Smith , a native of Muscle
Shoals and naturalll a person
at-home with soul and r n' b. For you
discophiles ,
" Sneafin '
Sally
Through the Alley" w ap first made
popular by Lee Dorsey, and we all
know who he is .
The song has that laid-low
back beat one can imagine slinking
through the French Quarter's se-
cluded byways during the sticky,
sultry summer when hotblooded
young men are bound to do risky
things with young ladies foolish
enough to tantalize them .
If you happen to see your
record supplier sneaking away with-
out letting you hear this tune, tell to
hold on, set a spell and sip a cool
one .
