Page "Pino Palladino" Paragraph 3

After Paul Young landed his own solo contract in 1982, Palladino was brought in as part of his backing band " The Royal Family " resulting in noticeable chart success with the No Parlez album, and major hit singles both in the UK and Europe.

Examples of Young's newfound success were the band's cover of the Marvin Gaye classic Wherever I Lay My Hat ( That's My Home ), which reached No. 1 in the UK singles chart for three weeks in summer of 1983, and Love of the Common People.

Palladino toured extensively at this time with Paul Young, remaining in the band for five years.

1983 additionally proved to be the year of another ensemble featuring Palladino, Paul Rodgers ( formerly of Bad Company ), drummer Kenney Jones, along with a rotating cast of other celebrity performers.

The band only released one album through Atlantic, The Law, although there were enough out-takes that another bootleg-styled album followed in 1991.

Sales were unremarkable, despite the names of those who recorded on the album.
