  of 7080 .it that deepens the topics discussed
• 1:17
  on the portal. I'm with the journalist Enzo Mauri,
• 1:21
  who introduces the topic today. Good morning,
• 1:24
  today I'm talking to you about a supergroup of
• 1:26
  the 80s. Take one of the most beloved British
• 1:28
  bands of the 80s, add funky sounds typical of
• 1:33
  America in the 70s, and you will get a supergroup,
• 1:35
  the Power Station. The Power Station, in fact,
• 1:38
  were composed by John Taylor and Andy Taylor.
• 1:56
  We want to multiply Are you gonna do it? I know
• 2:05
  you qualify Are you gonna do it? It is said that
• 2:15
  the Power Station were born for pure fun with
• 2:18
  the support of Babe Buell, the mother of Liv
• 2:20
  Tyler and the companion of Steve Tyler, the leader
• 2:23
  of the Aerosmiths. The model and aspiring singer
• 2:25
  was making a version of Geddy Dawn, a success
• 2:28
  of 1971, signed by the T -Rex of the singer Mark
• 2:32
  Bolan. Geddy Dawn, Bang & Gong, then appeared
• 2:34
  in the first album of the Power Station, sung
• 2:37
  by Robert Palmer. At the time, after Seven and
• 2:40
  the Rag Tiger, their third album in the studio,
• 2:43
  Duran Duran had decided to take a short break
• 2:46
  with them. The singer Simon Le Bon, together
• 2:49
  with his colleagues Nick Rose and Roger Taylor,
• 2:51
  had founded the Arcadia, while the rest of the
• 2:53
  Durans, together with Tony Thompson and Bernard
• 2:56
  Edwards, eager to play war -rock like Led Zeppelin,
• 2:59
  thought of creating a band called Big Brother.
• 3:02
  The idea, in fact, was to cut every song from
• 3:05
  the first album by a different performer, including
• 3:07
  Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones and Billy Idol.
• 3:09
  In the end, only Robert Palmer was chosen, of
• 3:12
  whom the Duran Duran were big fans. The definitive
• 3:14
  name was Power Station. was inspired by the New
• 3:17
  York recording studio that hosted the recording
• 3:20
  of the first album, received by an authentic
• 3:22
  power station. Wisely inspired by the producer
• 3:37
  Bernard Edwards, the sound of the Power Station
• 3:40
  was a mix between the funk, represented by the
• 3:43
  fiats, and the rock of the electric guitars joined
• 3:46
  to the drums. The album Power Station 33 Half,
• 3:50
  which indicated the speed of the turntables,
• 3:52
  came out in March 1985. The publication took
• 3:55
  place after an acclaimed live exhibition of the
• 3:57
  band, held a month earlier at the TV show Saturday
• 4:00
  Night Live. Three singles were taken from the
• 4:03
  album, including Like It Hot, Get It On, all
• 4:05
  entered the British and American rankings. Taking
• 4:17
  advantage of the unexpected success, singer Robert
• 4:20
  Palmer left the Power Station to make the album
• 4:23
  Riptide, which was also contributed by the other
• 4:25
  members of the group. The escape from the Power
• 4:27
  Station led to the accusation of non -professional
• 4:30
  behavior by the music critics. In his place for
• 4:33
  the next and triumphant tour was chosen singer
• 4:35
  and actor Michael DeBarré. Michael DeBarré's
• 4:38
  friendship with actor Don Johnson allowed the
• 4:40
  Power Station to appear in the episode The End
• 4:43
  Justifies the Means of the lucky series Miami
• 4:45
  Vice. La band si sciolse nel 1985, ritrovandosi
• 4:49
  nel 1996 per l 'album Living in Fear. Nel 2002
• 4:53
  fu pubblicato The Best of the Power Station.
• 4:56
