Robert Palmer recorded two of Marvin Gaye's songs, 'Mercy mercy me' and 'I want you' in a medley to form one hit single. I'm still not sure about this choice, as both songs come off a bit weird as lyrically they have very little in common. Still, it was a hit for Palmer, reaching number 9 in the UK singles chart and number 25 in the Dutch Top 40.My reason for buying this single is actually the B-side, which was co-written by Colin Vearncombe, a.k.a. Black.
My collection: 7" single no. 2822
Found: February 1, 1997
