"Looking For Clues" is Robert Palmer's first UK Top 40 hit


Robert Palmer : Looking For Clues


On November 19, 1980 Robert Palmer's "Looking For Clues" was climbing the UK charts on its way to #33. I mention this because it's one of my favorite songs of the year and because it was his first Top 40 hit in the UK. All those memorable singles that preceded it never gained traction with UK record buyers. "Bad Case of Lovin' You", for instance, stalled at UK#66 while hitting #14 in the US "Every Kinda People" had a similar fate. 

Robert Palmer is actually taller than the official music video will have you believe.
