It began, like so many memorable music stories do, with a British icon and the younger upstart who loved his style. The icon was one Robert Palmer—brilliant, eclectic, a cosmopolitan gentleman of the world but criminally underrated. The upstart was a young troublemaker named Nigel John Taylor, the future bassist with Duran Duran.
“I got into him around the [1978] Double Fun album,” says Taylor, now 65, from his home in London. “I went to see him at Birmingham Odeon. It wasn’t quite as immediate for me as Bryan Ferry or Queen, but there was something about him and the way he was operating, with that blue-eyed soul thing he had going. By the time I met him a few years later, he had become one of the most interesting journeyman artists, equal parts style and substance. We just hit it off. I was pretty charming at the time, you know, and it was only natural to talk about doing something together.”
That something became the 1985 album The Power Station, recorded at the infamous New York City studio of the same name by Taylor and fellow Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor while the band was on a short but necessary hiatus (Simon Le Bon and keyboardist Nick Rhodes found refuge in side project Arcadia and that band’s atmospheric album So Red The Rose.) Wanting to explore a more ragged hybrid of rock and funk than Duran Duran’s glam-pop, the Taylors allied themselves with Robert Palmer and Chic members Tony Thompson—a formidable drummer—and Bernard Edwards as producer.
“The Power Station evolved out of an idea,” explains Taylor. “Originally, it wasn’t even going to be a band. We wanted to provide a sound service for different types of singers. But then Robert dropped in, having written a typically acute lyric. I don’t know many artists who could write lyrics that were as funny, interesting, and sexy, and then sing them with such verve and power. Very few, I guess. He brought a track called “Go To Zero,” and then another, “Harvest For The World.” Suddenly, we had an album. I found his music very moving, and at the time, Andy and I were like, let’s go and do something organic—organic, and immediate.”
Released in March 1985, The Power Station stands today as one of the definitive albums of the ’80s. A commercial success that peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart, the album spawned two epic singles, including “Some Like It Hot,” which Taylor calls “an extraordinary piece of musical architecture” with its gated-drums reverb sounding like the collapse of a thousand shimmering stars. The decadent “Get It On (Bang A Gong),” an out-of-control cover of the 1971 T. Rex smash, followed.
