Robert Palmer spent a few years in the mid-80s hanging out with Duran Duran, or singing with members of that group in Power Station, then in late 1985 he revitalized his solo career by releasing the Riptide LP, whose fifth (!) single was "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On". The video for the track was shot in the now-familiar Palmer style, with the stylized backing dancers/band/models made famous by prior hit "Addicted To Love". Palmer's smooth vocals and a groovy beat made this song a hit (#9 UK/#2 US) and he won a Grammy for the album.

Such a shame he died young ... but surrounded by those hotties in every video and concert he went happy. Official cause was 'heart attack' but i suspect it was more likely due to exhaustion or 'erectile rupture'
