Happy Birthday, Phil!

Just have to wish Phil Collins a very happy 63rd! Such an inspiration for me.

Now let's hope the rumors of Genesis possibly reforming to be true!
 
he was just ranked as one of the top fifty drummer of all time in modern drummer magazine ( subjective I know) he has a very recognizable sound and style.
 
63 already? I played his No Jacket Required LP to death and back in 1985. I recall that won a Grammy for Album of the Year but that Phil was not in attendance to even accept the award.

I always wondered, why the solo career? What needs in the band Genesis were not being met? How different was a Phil solo album vs. Genesis' "Invisible Touch"?

Anyway love his drumming and pop sensibilities. "But for now we'll go on living....separate...lives..."

Yep...good questions but I guess I can understand wanting to do somethings on your own.

I loved his work with Clapton. Bad Love, for example.

Given Phil's track record with the ladys, That just might be his dream, not Mary's....

Phil was my inspiration to start playing- you can spot his playing/sound at a mile in the dark, just so distinctive.

Like Mary and others, I'm hoping for the big reunion too.
