Various biographies list Palmer as belonging to bands Dadda and Mandrakes in the 1960's, as well Vinegar Joe in the late 60's through the early 1970's. Vinegar Joe, which also included Elkie Brooks, recorded briefly for Island Records, Palmer left to pursue a solo career, which officially started with the release of his Sneaking Sally Through The Alley Album in 1974.
In 1985, Palmer was invited to join The Power Station, a short lived side project band started by Duran Duran band-mates John & Andy Taylor, also involving bassist and producer Bernard Edwards and drummer Tony Thompson. The original idea for to have a series of different vocalists do different tracks but John Taylor recommended the band give Palmer a try after he asked him to compose lyrics to two musical tracks the band had written, one of them becoming the hit single "Some Like it Hot". Palmer impressed enough that the band asked him to stay on, the album became a US million seller, but he left the group before a scheduled US summer tour to concentrate on the solo album he had been working on. Power Station band-mates Andy Taylor, Edwards, and Thompson all contributed to Palmer's next solo album Riptide, his biggest success in either the US or UK.
Palmer remained strictly a solo act save for occassional duets until reuniting with Power Station to record the Living In Fear album, released in 1996. This time he did tour with the band, playing material from both their albums as well as his solo hits.
Palmer worked with and toured with Little Feat in the mid 70's but was never a member of the group. They did collaborate on some of Palmer's early solo albums. Palmer also recorded briefly with UB40 in 1990, resulting a UK Top 10 hit single "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" but was never a member of that band.
