Let's say 'Robert Palmer' again ...


Funny enough that the name is of a celebrity, but they must say "Robert Palmer" about 30 times in this thing.

There was another Robert Palmer, an American Musician/Journalist who was in The Hawks with Ronnie Hawkins, Robbie Robinson and Levon Helm in the 1960s.

He wrote books including "Dancing in the Streets" and was a well known music journalist.
When he died some journalists became confused and reported that the English singer Robert Palmer had died.
