Hello,
Phil Collins was born this day 73 years ago. Happy birthday Phil!!
Collins is known most for his work with Genesis, a solo artist and working on film soundtracks. Collins was in Genesis from from 1970 to 1996, 2000, 2006- 2007 and 2020- 2022. Collins helped with the soundtracks for “Tarzan”, “Buster” and “Brother Bear”. I don’t remember anything at all about “Buster”. I watched the trailer and only vaguely remember, it does look like it could be good.
Speaking of “Buster” a movie starring Collins, it’s not his only movie. Collins has also appeared very briefly in “A Hard Day’s Night” and “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”. He was also in “Hook”, “And The Band Played On” and also was in one episode of “Miami Vice”. The name of that episode was “Phil The Shill”.
Collins is best known for the 17 songs below as well as “I Don’t Care Anymore”, “You’re In My Heart”, “A Groovy Kind of Love”, “I Missed Again”, “You Can’t Hurry Love” and “Who Said I Would”.
Collins, who suffered, a spine injury in 2007 has been battling that injury since then. Collins has retired officially from Genesis and probably from his solo career. (Most of this information thanks to Wikipedia and various other websites.)
