Director Terence Donovan got us tipsy on a bottle of wine but as we were having our make-up retouched, I lost balance on my heels and knocked the top of my guitar into the back of Robert's head, and his face then hit the microphone." We were meant to look and 'act' like showroom mannequins. "I was 21 and got the part on the strength of my modelling book. The five models in the video are Julie Pankhurst (keyboard), Patty Kelly (guitar), Mak Gilchrist (bass guitar), Julia Bolino (guitar), and Kathy Davies (drums). The video features Palmer performing the song with an abstract "band", being a group of female models whose pale skin, heavy makeup, dark hair and seductive, rather mannequin-like expression follow the style of women in Patrick Nagel paintings. The music video (which uses the shorter single version of this song), directed by British photographer Terence Donovan, was one of the most noted of the era.
Everything about it really hits the nail on the head." Music video "The one main song that I wish that I'd written and recorded is 'Addicted to Love' by Robert Palmer. Noddy Holder (the lead vocalist of English rock band Slade) stated in an interview that this song was the main track he wished he had written himself. The song is also notable for its opening drum solo by Tony Thompson, another Power Station alumnus. The other guitar part on the song is played by Eddie Martinez, while keyboards were played by Wally Badarou. Chaka Khan is still credited for the vocal arrangements in the album liner notes.Īndy Taylor of Duran Duran (and a bandmate of Palmer's from The Power Station) provides lead guitar. You're just too good to be trueCan't take my eyes off of youYou'd be like heaven to touch I wanna hold you so muchAt long last love has arrived And I thank God I'm alive You're just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off of youPardon the way that I stareThere's nothing else to compare The sight of you leaves me weakThere are no words left to speakBut if you feel like I feelPlease let me know that it's realYou're just too good to be trueCan't take my eyes off of youI need you baby, if it's quite all rightI need you baby, to warm a lonely nightI love you baby Trust in me when I say ok (it's ok)Oh pretty baby, don't let me down I pray Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay And let me love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby.You're just too good to be trueCan't take my eyes off of youYou'd be like heaven to touch I wanna hold you so muchAt long last love has arrived And I thank God I'm alive You're just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off of youI need you baby, and if it's quite all rightI need you baby, you warm a lonely nightI love you babyTrust in me when I say it's OK Oh pretty baby, don't let me down I prayOh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay And let me love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby.I need you baby, if it's quite all rightI love you baby, you warm a lonely nightI need you babyTrust in me when I say: It's OK Oh pretty baby, don't let me down I pray´Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stayAnd let me love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby.Originally intended to be a duet with Chaka Khan, the song was made without her because her record company at the time would not grant her a release to work on Palmer's label, Island Records.
