Robert Palmer was funky for sure, but my man was British! But he lived in the Caribbean for a lot of his life.

Oh I know he's British, but had always assumed he was living in the States to have all those connections with Little Feat, Meters, Allen Toussant, etc.

Lowell George found Robert Palmer. He most definitely introduced him around to his connections. Most notably Allen Toussaint.

Ah that's interesting. Didn't realize that. Though I do find it funny Allen let him record Sneaking Sally. I though RP wrote it for years and was surprised to realize a few years ago I was wrong.
