Every Kinda People

Every Kinda People

"Every Kinda People" is a 1978 song originally performed by Robert Palmer in his "Double Fun " album. It was Palmer's first hit song in the U.S., reaching the Top 20. The song was written by Andy Fraser.

With its blend of Caribbean steel pan, violins and moving lyrics, "Every Kinda People". has become one of Palmer's best-loved songs, covered multiple times by other artists (including Chaka Demus and Pliers, Randy Crawford and Amy Grant) and cited by music fans and spiritual groups for its positive message of peace and multiculturalism.

In addition to the 1978 original, Palmer had it remixed on both of his "Addictions" greatest-hits albums, the first (in 1989) a slight remix by Eric Thorngren and the other a Caribbean-flavored 1992 version engineered by Pino Pischetola.

The song was covered by S Clubber Jo O'Meara for the movie "The Guru" A video was shot but never released. It was going to be a single but was cancelled for still unknown reasons.
