The Power Station

A 1980s supergroup that included singer Robert Palmer, former Chic drummer Tony Thompson, and Duran Duran members John Taylor (bass guitar) and Andy Taylor (guitar). In addition, another former Chic member, Bernard Edwards, worked with the group in the studio as a music producer, performed (briefly) the duties of the band's manager, and subsequently — on the recording of the second album — replaced John Taylor on bass guitar. The group was formed in New York at the end of 1984 during a break in the activity of the group Duran Duran, which turned into a long vacation. The group received its name from The Power Station recording studio (now Avatar Studios), where the band's album was conceived and recorded.
