The song was written by Jeff Fortang and was performed by a group called The Persuaders somewhere around 1973, according to an interview Robert Palmer gave for the liner notes of his Addictions Vol 1 album in 1989. Palmer believes he may have heard the song on the radio, possibly in a car, not realizing it at the time, and when it popped in his head a time later he assumed he wrote it since he was completely unfamiliar with the original.
According to Palmer, he had finished lyrics (somewhat different from the "real" version but retaining the same musical background and the same refrain "some guys have all the luck, some guys have all the breaks...") and was preparing to record the song when his manager told him another band in the same recording studio was already recording it! Confused, Palmer checked on the band and realized he had accidentally "Rewritten" a seven year old song.
Palmer did his version for his 1981 album Maybe It's Live. It did little initially in the US but hit the Top 20 in the UK, giving him his breakthrough hit there (he'd already had Top 20 success in the States with "Every Kinda People" and "Bad Case Of Loving You").
Supposedly Rod Stewart heard Palmer's version and was inspired to cut the track himself, although he used the original lyrics. Released in 1984 the single became an international smash for Stewart and remains one of his trademark hits.
Palmer and Stewart performed the song together at a charity benefit at Wembley Stadium in 1997.
What else can I help you with?

Rod Stewart Rod Stewart No it wasn't it was Jeff Fortang It was Jeff...I bought my house from him (and his wife) in 1991...he most certainly did write it...and got little or no credit from Rod Stewart!!
What did Rod Stewart sing circa 2006-2007 in tribute to a sick or perhaps recently deceased friend don't think it was Rod's song originally?
I'm guessing you're thinking of "Some Guys Have All the Luck/Addicted to Love" as a tribute to Robert Palmer (live at the Royal Albert Hall).
When was Some Guys Have All the Luck created?
Some Guys Have All the Luck was created in 1985-01.
Who are the girls in Robert palmer's bad case of loving you?
The actual video for this song was done in 1989, ten years after the single was released, to coincide with the release of Palmer's Addictions Vol 1 album, part of an extensive best of collection the singer was working on. Since the album is a "Best Of", the video is also done in that concept, taking clips from several previous videos including "Some Guys Have All The Luck", "You Are In My System", "Addicted To Love", "Discipline Of Love", and "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On", as well as some archived footage from a British TV appearance in which Palmer performed the song. The girls then are the clips from the Addicted and Turn You On videos.

What is Robert palmer's girlfriend Mary Ambrose doing now?
After the death of Robert Palmer, Mary Ambrose sued the Estate of Robert Palmer but did not prevail. Robert Palmer did die testate and although his Last Will and Testament was challenged by Ambrose, the Will eventually stood as written. Ambrose's final suit was brought in 2007, when her legal options were extinguised. Ambrose's luck did not hold after Robert Palmer's death and she is now serving time on a prison sentence for a 2011 conviction on a white collar crime. This is not her first time behind bars, she has also served time in 1997 and 2005. Most recently, Mary Ambrose has put up social networking sites alleging that she is living in Ticino, Switzerland residing in the home that she and Robert Palmer shared. Although Mary Ambrose resided with Robert Palmer as his estate manager and personal assistant, Robert Palmer was engaged to Geraldine Edwards at the time of his death, although he did date Ambrose prior to that. Also, the house was sold as part of the estate once it entered probate and was sold by Soteby's European/Swiss Real Estate Division in 2004, it's proceeds divided among the five Palmer children as were the wishes of the late Robert Palmer. Ambrose has most recently been living in Southern California according to members of her family prior to her incarceration. She will be elegible for parole in 2012, and more than likely will be released back into the community to spend the remainder of her sentence on parole. In 2011, Ambrose's parential rights were extingused by the State of California to her three children, born in 2001, 2002 and 2008 due to her competance as a parent. The children are now being reared by a relative of Ambrose's. None of the children belonged to Robert Palmer. Although Mary Ambrose has had her problems in the past, two of her cousins have backed her up on her most recent Web site, by the name of Susan and William. Although Ambrose has tried to present them as her sister and brother, they are in fact her cousins. William went so far as to claim that he is residing at the Palmer Estate with Mary Ambrose alleging still that Mary Ambrose did inherit the house. The house was in fact sold to a European Corporation in 2004. According to Mary Ambrose's uncle, Harvey Ambrose, his niece will not return to Southern California when she has completed serving her sentence. Ambrose has advised him that she will relocate to New York.
