Fun fact: Phil let Dave have a part in this song because it was a token of his friendship to Dave, who at the time, just got out of rehab, and his confidence/career needed a boost.... Phil, the man, the legend, and a great friend. A hero
David didn't go to rehab. He went to jail and got clean there. In a way the song is about David. We was a villain who went to jail, conquered his addictions, became a hero in the process, and went free.
They had actually worked before this too. Crosby did background vocals on Phil’s 1989 album and also appeared with him at the Grammy’s when they did “Another Day in Paradise”.
I grew up listening to the music of Bra Phil in the 80's and 90', and I have came to realize that this is a Super Hero and a true Legend indeed. It is saddening and heartbreaking to hear that today he has a type 2 diabetes and other illnesses. May the Almighty God HEAL this wonderful and talented legend. I love his music so much.

@@paulainsworth9229 Actually this is the original. Phil never finished the demo version that was meant for his “Both Sides” album. So he gave it to Crosby and helped produce it.
@@shivjoy Phil wrote this and recorded this demo originally. He did his own backing vocals. He gave the song (and a writing credit) to Crosby as a favor because he needed the money and the boost to his career. Phil sang the backing vocals on Crosby's version.
Phil you are my favourite singer you are my hero and i always listen your songs every day. You are the best british singer of the world and you have excellent songs
I'm listening to Phil Collins Hero early March 2021 beginning of the end of this Covid 19 Pandemic but wearing a mask New York Yankees practice social distancing and washing my hands! Covid 19 your finished!
I love Phil Collins I love his voice I love his songs and I love this song deep words he such a legend I only love Phil solo version of this song the 90s was my childhood that good songs.

Totally agree! Very underrated. I remember it from Spring 1993. Played for a few months and then disappeared. It keeps getting removed from TH-cam. Right now, the duet version with David is here. Bless whomever posted that one too.
Respectfully, this is not a Phil Collins version of a David Crosby song. They co-wrote it. And if you know Phil Collins' music, you will hear that he was absolutely the main creator of this song.

Sophy y Faith Thordarson Have you got a link or reference to that fact? By 1993 David Crosby had been clean for a few years I’ve been led to believe. Wikipedia reports that Crosby produced the song too. As a big David Crosby fan I think you folks are giving Phil Collins too much credit for this song.
Didn’t know until now that there was this Phil-only version of “Hero”. Sounds nice .. but better to hear him and f course David Crosby (RIP) sing the song.
Phil Collins Hero is one of my personal favorite song! Phil Collins Hero tribute should go to the late Kobe Bryant who died in the Helicopter crash along with his 13 year old daughter Gianna and 7 other people one year ago today!
Phill Collins ,Greatest musician of all times.
I wanna wish a Happy early 73rd Birthday 🎂 to Phil Collins!!!!

This song is possible the greatest song of the 90s as well.

@@bellazoe1 definitely one of them. One of the best set of lyrics Phil ever wrote.

the 2 people who disliked this song didn't had heroes in their life
WONDERFUL SONG!
If anyone dislike Phil Collins Hero needs a Covid 19 Test
Or those heroes let them down
RIP Croz. Great tune.
Two legends, that'll always have a never ending legacy. All the best legend, Rest In Peace David 💙🙏
R.I.P. David Crosby (1941-2023)
Phil is so talented, so many many good song's!!!
@wildimpoets Phil Collins Hero is one of my personal favorite song
Por siempre Phil collins nos veremos en la eternidad
Un genio hizo muchos temas aprovechando su tristeza y la depresión siguió adelante por siempre Phil 🤚
I can listen to this song a thousand times never get tired of it

I ❤ Phil Collins

Saudade saudade ssudade
All time classic. Phil Collins is the bomb!!
❤❤❤
Who is listening with me this moment...😊
Such a wonderful voice, soul touching melody Phil
@Alfred Songsi Absolutely
Sure, Phil is my favourite singer of all time. I'll never tire of his music.
This song made me realize that Jesus never wondered what was right or wrong, He just knew, He just knew!!!
WTF?? just stop with the religious bullshit.
It's actually Phil's song. He wrote it and gave Crosby a writing credit as a gesture of friendship.
This is a cover of the original by david Crosby.
Not forgetting this is a demo of said cover. The Collins version as usual was much more polished.
@@paulainsworth9229 Actually this is the original. Phil never finished the demo version that was meant for his “Both Sides” album. So he gave it to Crosby and helped produce it.
If i'm not wrong both artists gave backing vocals in each other's version.

Phil you are my favourite singer you are my hero and i always listen your songs every day. You are the best british singer of the world and you have excellent songs
His voice melts my heart, when ever i hear his songs, beautiful, love you Phil my hero, God bless you
Phil is Christian Bale’s Hero.
Nairobi Kenya watching, Phil's voice is out of this world,he gives me goosebumps.
Love both versions of this song.
RIP Croz ..... you will be missed!

The one and only Phil Collins , his singing voice makes me cry. I just love it😊
That's just the way it is!!.. with David Crosby, almost makes me cry!!... another awesome son with those guys!..... THE BEST OF THE BEST
Both versions are good, but I like Phil's arrangement a little better. Phil has the talent to make any song at least as good as the original.
This is actually the original. Phil wrote this and gave David a writing credit to boost his confidence.
I prefer the Crosby version because it’s more polished but this is pretty good too.
Every song Phil does touches a part of my life - Yes he / you are my Hero - Phil - A & F - Beth
Phil, you are my hero

This is one of Phil Collins' best songs ever. It actually sounds like Genesis.
Hero: So many of them in that school in Connecticut. They loved those kids and paid the ultimate price trying to protect them. Godd bless them all.
