The Profile

Phil Collins is an English drummer, singer, songwriter and producer. After joining Genesis in 1970, he became the band’s lead vocalist and later launched a massively successful solo career with hits like In the Air Tonight and Another Day in Paradise. He has won multiple Grammy Awards and an Academy Award for You'll Be in My Heart.

Genesis drummer/singer turned solo star; Motown/soul influences surface across his 80s work; collaborations include Eric Clapton and Peter Gabriel, with Sting guesting on A Long Long Way to Go; worked with producer Hugh Padgham; played every instrument on Both Sides; signature hit In the Air Tonight and socially conscious Another Day in Paradise.

Five DeBaser reviews trace Collins’s path from Genesis drummer to chart-dominating solo act. Highlights include Face Value, No Jacket Required, ...But Seriously, Both Sides, and Hits. Themes: Motown-tinged pop, big ballads, immaculate drumming, and notable collaborations. Overall sentiment skews positive with a few sharp jabs at weaker tracks.
