    Everyone remembers him for Addicted to Love and the suits but the man was an itchy genius; changed bands and styles repeatedly in search of the perfect pop song...

      Don't miss him in The Power Station (Some Like it Hot, Get it On (Bang a Gong) remake 1985). He was also Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor Doctor). This song was one of the first songs from MTV (1981).

    WOW!!! I've listened to all Robert's versions of this I could find on UA-cam but then... I found THIS!
    He is really on form here, the band is tight, you can tell they're enjoying it, it's the fastest version I've heard of this track too, (and it was already a fast tempo track).
    This feels so fresh, even in 2015.
    Oh, and hey: he's NOT wearing a suit!!! Most casual outfit I've seen him wearing actually.
    neXiumvideos : Thank you so much. This is an amazing find, excellent quality image - and you've even uploaded in HD too.

      I can't get 'Sailin' Shoes/Julia/Sneakin' through the Alley' (Capitol Theatre 1979) out of my head- I'm addicted to it and I also love this song and particularly this version.
      He was an underrated musician because his later more attention-grabbing stuff- the women in mini skirts and high heels etc- is what most people remember him for. OK songs but his lesser known material is exceptional. I would never have thought he was a smoking hot R&B artist although he's always had a great voice.

      Ca S: Born in Batley, Yorkshire, and raised in Malta (his father was a naval officer); lived in Bermuda with his wife and kids; and spent sixteen years in Switzerland: ua-cam.com/video/F4a9l0CrG8g/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/-sdd4JDraRk/v-deo.html
      So, sadly, it sounds like he avoided England at all cost despite him being born there and enjoying the music scene with bands, as a teen.
