Robert Palmer Wins His First GRAMMY For "Addicted To Love" In 1987 | GRAMMY Rewind

In 1987, Robert Palmer won his first-ever GRAMMY for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male, for his iconic hit "Addicted To Love." The category was packed with legendary talent — John Fogerty, Peter Gabriel, Eddie Money, and Billy Idol — but Palmer's unforgettable performance and timeless style earned him the golden gramophone.

Taking the stage to accept his award from the Beastie Boys, Palmer delivered a brief and charming speech, thanking his production team before signing off with a heartfelt message to his children at home, "Night night, James and Jane."
