When The 80s Went Too Far: The Power Station Story
The Power Station Story. This week, we uncover the brutal truth about how Robert Palmer destroyed the biggest supergroup of the 80s. We dive into the formation of the band with John and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran and Tony Thompson of Chic, exploring the massive success of hits like "Some Like It Hot." But the real story is the betrayal: Robert Palmer quitting the band just ten days before a sold-out tour and Live Aid. We analyze his calculated move to use the band's momentum to launch his solo career with "Addicted to Love," the chaos of hiring Michael Des Barres as a last-minute replacement, and the "karaoke" performance that followed. This is a story of ego, business, and the cold reality of the music industry. Kindly like and subscribe - it really helps this channel a lot. I do appreciate it!
