Robert Palmer “Simply Irresistible” official video, remastered in HD, from the album Heavy Nova (1988).
Simply Irresistible was released as the first single from the album Heavy Nova, reaching No. 1 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The music video was directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan and shows Palmer surrounded by numerous women, all with the same heavy makeup and sweptback hair style. The video features women that Palmer met while visiting the Kentucky Derby (Karen Aubrey McElfresh, Kim Jones, Cheryl Day and Betty-Jo Cox).
Palmer won the 1988 Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance Male for this song, the same award he won two years earlier for “Addicted To Love.
