About Phil Collins

Phil Collins' ascent to the status of one of the most successful pop and adult-contemporary singers of the '80s and beyond was probably as much of a surprise to him as it was to many others. Balding and diminutive, Phil Collins was almost 30 years old when his first solo single, "In the Air Tonight," became a #2 hit in his native U.K. (the song was a Top 20 hit in the U.S.). Between 1984 and 1990, Phil Collins had a string of 13 straight U.S. Top Ten hits.

Long before any of that happened, however, Phil Collins was a child actor/singer who appeared as "the Artful Dodger" in the London production of Oliver! in 1964. (He also has a cameo in A Hard Day's Night, among other films.) He got his first break in music at the end of his teens, when he was chosen to be a replacement drummer in the British art-rock band Genesis in 1970. (Collins maintained a separate jazz career with the band Brand X, as well.) Genesis was fronted by singer Peter Gabriel. They had achieved a moderate level of success in the U.K. and the U.S., with elaborate concept albums, before Gabriel abruptly left in 1974. Genesis auditioned 400 singers without success, then decided to let Phil Collins have a go.

The result was a gradual simplifying of Genesis' sound and an increasing focus on Phil Collins's expressive, throaty voice. And Then There Were Three ... went gold in 1978, and Duke was even more successful.

Phil Collins made his debut solo album Face Value in 1981, which turned out to be a bigger hit than any Genesis album. It concentrated on Phil Collins' voice, often in stark, haunting contexts such as the piano-and-drum dirge "In the Air Tonight," which sounded like something from John Lennon's debut solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.

During the '80s, Phil Collins balanced his continuing solo work with Genesis with enormous success. In 1992, Genesis released We Can't Dance and began an extensive tour. Upon its completion, Phil Collins released Both Sides in 1993, and the record became his first album not to produce a major hit single or go multi-platinum.

In 1995, he announced that he was leaving Genesis permanently. The following year, he released Dance into the Light. Although the album was a flop, its subsequent supporting tour was a success. The Hits collection followed in 1998, and a year later Phil Collins made his first big band record, Hot Night in Paris.

Concurrently, he moved into film soundtrack composition with his work on 'Tarzan,' a Disney Studios animated feature released in 1999. "I've been totally hands-on, involved at the very first stages, from scoring onwards," he enthuses. "It's a very different discipline to other work that I have done, but it's great fun, and I hope it will open the door to my working on other animated features and maybe even action or drama films. It's an area I'm extremely interested in, and I'm only thrilled that I am still finding so many new challenges and opportunities."

For now though, all attention is on "Dance Into The Light." If Collins nurses any wish for its public reception, it is that listeners appreciate the further step forward it represents in a constantly changing work profile. "There's a tendency for people to say, 'Oh, more of the same from Phil Collins, without really giving me their attention," he says. "But the one thing I don't do is repeat myself - I'm my most stringent editor. Not only do I not want to make things boring for my fans, but I don't want to make them boring for myself." What remains the same is the commitment to musical excellence, as those who listen will hear.
