R.I.P Roger Palmer

Donno, how many of you still remember this stylish and awesome blues singer of the 80s -Roger Palmer. Roger is best know for his song "Simply Irresistible" which had turned into a Pepsi jingle. But there's another song of him, which I had completely forgotten and accidently came across on You Tube recently and I was bowled over once again- "I didn't mean to turn you on" is a blue print of sheer coolness. Roger Palmer at his best. What kind of man can sing this song and boast this kind of effect on Women ? Hear and see it on You Tube to believe it! But I also read in comments that he is dead now! Poor soul...

Here's how the lyrics go:

When I took you out I knew what you were all about
But when I did I didn't mean to turn you on

Now I bring you home
You told me goodnight's not enough for you
I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to turn you on No, I didn't mean to turn you on

You read me wrong
I wasn't trying to lead you on Not like you think I didn't mean to turn you on

I know you Were expecting a one night stand
When I refused I knew you wouldn't understand
I told you twice I was only trying to be nice Only trying to be nice Ooh, I didn't mean to turn you on

Babe now why should I Feel guilty 'cause I won't give Guilty 'cause I won't give in
I didn't mean to turn you on Ooh, I didn't mean to turn you on

When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did I didn't mean to turn you on No, I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on.... (REPEAT TO FADE )

May God forgive the piracy these U-Tube fellas promote and bless their noble souls! Thanks!
