Robert Allen Palmer (January 19, 1949 – September 26, 2003), born in Batley, Yorkshire, England, was a British singer. He was known for his soulful voice and the eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, reggae, blues, and even yodeling.
His eighties hits were promoted by particularly striking award winning videos, featuring an all-female, black-clad backing band. The memorable videos, directed by Terence Donovan, featured heavily on MTV and played a large part in his transatlantic success.

...HEY JULIA... by Robert Palmer ---------------.................
*from 'Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley' (1974)*
Intro:
A7
Verse 1:
A7B7 Hey, hey Julia, you're acting so peculiar, D7A7 I know I'd never fool you, in a million years. A7B7 A horn section, you resemble, and your figure makes me tremble, D7A7 And I sure would like to handle what's be-tween your ears.
Chorus 1:
B7D7A7 You're a temp-tation to a man. B7D7A7 I could not re-sist you, and I won't if I can. A7B7 You're so unexpected and what-ever you injected, D7E7A7 Made me feel how I felt when I sang.
Verse 2:
A7B7 Hey, hey Julia, you're acting so peculiar, D7A7 I know I'd never fool you, in a million years. A7B7 You're a strain on my eyes-es and you're full of surprises, D7A7 Love ma-terialises, soon as you come near.
Chorus 2:
B7D7A7 There's a sen-sation you cre-ate; B7D7A7 Robs me of my sleep, and I've for-gotten the date. A7B7 My head started spinning, soon as you started singing, D7E7A7 And like a fish, I just rose to the bait.
Verse 3:
A7B7 Hey, hey Julia, with your crazy sense of humour, D7A7 You turn fact into rumour, soon as you come near. A7B7 A horn section, you resemble, and your figure makes me tremble, D7A7 And I sure would like to handle what's be-tween your ears.
Chorus 3:
B7D7A7 You're a temp-tation to a man. B7D7A7 I could not re-sist you, and I won't if I can. A7B7 You're so unexpected and what-ever you injected, D7E7A7 Made me feel how I felt when I sang.
A7B7 Julia, you're a danger; just like giving sweets to strangers, D7E7A7 And I think its time I took you in hand.
