The story behind Robert Palmer's 'Addicted to Love' video is one of the most bizarre in MTV history. For ten years, Palmer was the most respected artist in rock, but he couldn't sell a single record. Island Records gave him a house in the Bahamas and he still hit number 107 on Billboard. In a London basement, he became the biggest star in the world in one day thanks to a fashion photographer, a bottle of wine, and five models who couldn't play a note. A guitar to the back of the head, a drummer who liked his rear, and a music teacher who gave up after one hour. He made the same video three times. When he stopped, nobody cared.
