HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL COLLINS

Phil Collins is an English singer and musician, who gained fame (in 1970) after becoming drummer for the progressive rock band, Genesis. Over time, he took over as lead vocalist, and would go on to play a key role in the band’s transition from progressive rock to a more pop-oriented sound.

In the 1980s, he embarked on a successful solo career producing multiple chart-topping hits like “Against All Odds”, “One More Night”, “Another Day in Paradise”, and today’s song choice. Throughout his career, he has won numerous awards, including several Grammys.
