@KingstonsMom

Funny you mention Phil Collins here. Last night, I put on a Phil Collins cd and hubby and I danced through it.

Phil Collins, from Genesis on, his music is played almost as often here at home as my Moody Blues, lol.

Too bad there is not a Music forum here. Now this I could talk about.

It was his influence in guiding the band after Peter Gabriel and Anthony Philips left - " And then there were Three" in 1978 that gave them a big hit " Follow You Follow Me " .

Phil Collins left Genesis in 1996 to record on his own.

Love Phil Collin's music......and he is an honorary Texan....

Collins became an honorary Texan at the Capitol for his "magnificent collection of historical artifacts" that he donated to the Alamo.

Collins fell in love with the Alamo's inspiring story as a 5-year-old boy, when he saw the Disney production of Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. ... That love soon became his “passion” – collecting Alamo artifacts, weapons, relics and original documents. Phil Collins' amazing collection includes hundreds of items.

I've loved Phil Collins since his days in Genesis.

I have so many favorite songs .... You'll be in my heart .... Against all odds .... Throwing it all away (with Genesis) .... Take me home .... Easy lover .... Follow you, follow me (with Genesis) ....

I saw him in concert in the early 90's and he put on a FANTASTIC show!!

Interesting about the Alamo!

One of my favorite songs of his: "You'll Be in My Heart." I tear up every time I hear it!

If anyone's interested, the guy playing bass in the video with the long white Merlin-esque beard & hair is Leland Sklar. He has played either in recording sessions or on tour with everyone from James Taylor to Phil Collins, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, lots of country & gospel artists, etc.

He has a YouTube channel & uploads a video every day since the pandemic started either playing along & explaining bass parts, or just playing stuff he's played on (over 25K credits to his name, so there's a lot to choose from) & telling fun stories about experiences he's had in his 50+ year career as a session & tour player & playing on many movie & TV sound tracks or sometimes just showing his lovely backyard & playing with his 2 Bassett Hound brothers, Marcello & Rossano.

It's all pretty low tech as he records from a bedroom/office in his & his wife's home in Pasadena, CA, but that's part of the charm & as he says about his friends, he's a "good hang".
