Many comments I noticed are comparing this to the Beatles version. I am sure Phil Collins is not trying to outdo the Beatles. I think he is just celebrating their brilliance. Very cool interpretation of the song. He is a musical genius in his own right.
I normally cannot stand other artists singing the Beatles songs, but I must say that Phil Collins did a great job here. both as a singer and a drummer. And with George Martin playing the piano and in the controls, it is almost an original version.
Wow!! Watching Phil Collins smack the drums is like drinking that perfect cup of coffee in the morning.... He is so brilliant and clean on the drums... It's indescribable the talented drummer he is!!!
Everytime I listen to this version I hear something new. I dare say as the song progresses his voice gets better and better, and it's not the engineering.
People focus on lead guitars....thats the way it is- but a good band is nothing without a great bass and drummer...not to mention of course rhythum guitar and VOCALS
And studio bass work is now computerized unfortunatly....puts a lot of musicians out of work...same for drums...but thats also why a large percentage of songs out today are so much alike...just a simple track on the bass and drums. Not to mention vocals with auto tune...it just makes me sick. I like the personal feel of studio recording with a live feel
@@checharas Both are true. He was there as a fan, but he was also a child actor (played the artful dodger I think I read). I think this is an excellent cover, and man he could play those drums!
@@paulraymond2252 He was asked to leave that stage production of 'Oliver!' because his voice changed. And VH-1 once located a 13-year-old Phil screaming at The Beatles in the concert scene.
I can't listen to the original Beatles song because when I was listening to Carry That Weight and heard that SAME melody I was like "awww crap they're about to say the thing!!" Then the song ends abruptly and now I can only feel satisfied listening to the phil Collins version
Потрясающая "битловская классика" в исполнении замечательного певца и барабанщика Фила Коллинза! БРАВО!! / A stunning "Beatles classic" performed by the wonderful singer and drummer Phil Collins! BRAVO!!
George Martin produced some amazing music at that time. As for picking talent he was amazing. A lot of good bands & singers ( eg Cilla Black) owe their success t that guy . He already was a well known name producing the really crazy Goon Show with Peter Sellars, Spike Milligan & Harry Seacombe . That was on BBC radio & was full on crazy, I loved listening to it as a kid & still do.
Sir George Martin, I doubt we will ever be able to fathom your brilliance and genius, but thanks for all the beautiful music and arrangements, and producing. May you rest in everlasting peace.
Sorry to disagree, but I don't see what the point of this project was anyway. Anytime you reproduce music - and in my opinion - less superior versions of the original songs in this case, you leave people asking why. Phil does a fine enough job of singing and playing the songs EXACTLY HOW THEY WERE ORIGINALLY RECORDED - BUT WHAT IS THE POINT? Jim Carey doing I AM THE WALRUS in his comical voice - WHAT IS THE POINT? Now I have to admit, I am a Puritan when it comes to my rock and roll - DON'T F^CK WITH THE ORIGINALS! Comedians recreating these songs is completely blasphemous in my opinion. However, if I were completely being objective, these versions add nothing original. Haha, Jim Carey funny voice version - um, I'll pass. Robin Williams - who I have always loved as a comedian and very talented actor - complete fail and very bad career decision. I think he was very vocal on how insecure he was about doing this project, too bad he didn't follow his instinct on this one. To your point above, I CAN PLAY DRUMS AND SING, AND PLAY GUITAR AND SING, AND PLAY PIANO AND SING, BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE ME THE RIGHT TO ARROGANTLY REPRODUCE ALREADY WORTHY VERSIONS OF SONGS I WILL NEVER IMPROVE UPON. These poor celebrities went beyond their limitations due to hero worship and certainly ego kidding them they were worthy. Lastly, Mary you are a complete FUKTARD for even thinking that Phil had any right singing the Beatles. Sorry, but I had to add this last part because you are a RE-tard - however, I have to admit I am a Phil fan - prior to him becoming the 80s clown prince of pop. Respectively yours...Jackie Walton.
I REALLY hope that Phil Collins may somehow see this comment. Mr. Collins, THANK you!! It has always been my contention that Mr McCartney didn't need to scream "Golden Slumbers;' I know the whole song is a classic, but it's a lullabye, for pete's sake! LOL No hard feelings, Mr. McCartney; you are still loved! I always thought the child might scream in terror at that point. Thanks so much for proving my point so beautifully! 🎶🎵🎸🥁
I love how Phil did not change the fantastic arrangement of the original much while still taking a few liberties with the drum and guitar solos. Fantastic cover!
The liberties were actually taken by Martin himself in making the arrangement. And if anyone outside of the Fab Four themselves had the right to take liberties with Beatles music, he did.
We are in an era similar to classical music (not trying to compare rock.. etc.) of reproducing the composers' intent but with improvisation where appropriate. I like that after listening to the original for so many years, this heightens while respecting the original experience. Love.
"One morning I receive a call from Sir George Martin. As part of him winding down his career he wants to make an album, In My Life, featuring new versions of some of his favorite Beatles songs. We’ve known each other for years but never worked together, so I’m thrilled to be asked. He and his son Giles fly over to France to a house I’ve rented to use as a studio to record my next album. It’s decided that I’ll take on “Carry That Weight/Golden Slumbers” from Abbey Road. First I play the drum parts, including the famous Ringo solo. We double the length of it, which George loves. Then we go about the vocal parts, full of close, three-part harmonies, with George saying, “This is what Paul sang…this is what John sang…” Working with this genuine musical legend and thoroughly lovely man is a treasured memory of mine." What a talent...
This is an excerpt from “in my life” a wonderful collection. Jim Carey, Robin Williams, Goldie Hawn..all doing Beatles songs in their own way under Sir Martin's direction.
Lovely and appreciated as a tribute. But his voice is not the most appropriated for this song since both have very different voices. Contrary to someone saying that Collins effortlessly sings this Beatles wonder, it is so noticeable he was making a great effort to reach the higher notes. But the thing to understand is that a homage is not to try to equal, much less to surpass, the original, but to thank those who did a classic, timeless song!
The very last line of their short but unparalleled official career was " the love you take is equal to the love you make". Eternal truth. God forever bless The Beatles.
Super. Love Phil Collins it's a shame we all get old, but it is better than the other choice, you post this video 13 y ago and the song is from 1969 and it proves how lucky our generation was to have by far the most talented musicians and songwriters who have left a treasure for future generations of timeless music. Whoever reads this in 20 years enjoy the music, it will lift you in your darkest hour.
lol, there maybe a few other drum parts slash solo ya think..... ....rain, day in the life, strawberry fields...come together..cheese dude, what the f are you saying..? get over yourself..Ringo is the minimal monk drummer always adding to the song, as George does, never more or less, make the song better....he always does. even the strident Sgt Pepper is perfect...you have a problem. jdw...
Joe cocker.........."She came in the bathroom window" and "With a little help from my friends" Elton John "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" those 3 come to mind........
When it's Phil Collins.. it's...wow... He honors the integrity of the song while giving the song a fresh breath... Only him...... Salute Mr Collins......!!!
Phil , who is heavily influenced by Ringo, pays tribute to him and at the same time uses traces of his own iconic drummimg to show how and where it happenend and pays tribute to his own legacy . Genes..um.. Genius.
While it may be true that the Beatles cannot be duplicated for obvious reasons, this version came very, very, very close.....An excellent cover. Thank you George Martin.
I don't remember how many years ago I was in a music store in the bargain bin and happened on In My Life. Early 2000s I imagine. It was the most treasured find I can remember. This is a magnificent project. Hooray to the late Sir Martin. I say yea to Phil Collins and his interpretation of this classic. I wish him the best of health. Thanks so much for posting.
It's good, but what it shows above anything is how brilliant George Martin's orchestrations were for The Beatles. The combination of the amazing songwriting and equally amazing score was what made tracks like this so good. Truly the Fifth Beatle.
I’ve got to admit like others have that I’m not the biggest Phil Collins fan but bloody hell, this was really awesome. Really good tribute to a band you obviously care so much about. Well done Sir.
I've long felt that Phil's been fucking hugely & unfairly maligned, for FAR too long, for no discernible reason in my view. I mean, it's not as if he's Liam fuckin' Gallagher, or Rod Mckewn or anything. Poor fella. I bet he gets shit slippers every Xmas at his age because he's not considered worth the expense. 'Oh, the bastard injustice of it all'!🤣
@@razzle1964 he wrote a couple of pop hits and suddenly all his great work has to be regarded as mainstream slop from some strange sense of elitism I’m just happy that other artists (Martin, Eno etc) didn’t hold this view
@@razzle1964 I mean that they were mainstream radio friendly (and fantastic songs) as opposed to his earlier progressive rock work he had hits before but they were still eccentric and couldn’t properly be called pop
Phil is an all-time giant in the recording industry. His talents seem boundless and though one should tread lightly when trying to remake an all-time classic, Phil, George M. and company do an excellent rendition, one of which the Beatles would surely be proud.
The more I listen to these covers, the more I keep noticing how musically accurate Ringo's drumming was. These three songs in a row really adding a base line to the music, in stead of just plain rythm.
This is one of the most heavenly songs ever written, can not be matched by anyone but the fab four.I am so glad i lived during their wonderful time to be able to hear this .
Probably the most famous medley of all time and Phil nailed it and credit to him for that. Not so much a cover more of a tribute from one of the best😎👌
What a wonderful tribute by one of my favourite artists to one of my idols!!! Golden Slumbers would probably be the one if I had to choose just one Beatles/ McCartney song. Thanks Phil, beautifully performed of course. And how great to see Sir Geoge Martin there as well...Made my day!! God bless.
Come on. It's a nice attempt, but in comparison with McCartney/The Beatles this version is lame. Phil Colins can't carry that tune. He can't sing the bloody song!
@@NisseOhlsen uh no? Have you heard anything from Phil that isn’t dance into the light? He’s got a brilliant voice and he’s working with George fuckin Martin. Go and don’t come back please no one asked for your opinion

I really miss Phil Collins. Went to the Alamo last spring and saw his collection and heard his narration of the events at the Alamo. He's a guy that has been underrated for his career and talents.
Great Version. I'm not the biggest Phil Collins fan either but you can tell how much he loves this music here. Plus he was in A Hard Days Night so he's alright by me!
@@Ryan23H He was in the crowd, but I guess the director didnt like him enough because he wasnt going as crazy as he 'should' so he didnt make the final version.
@@Tom-qj9oi If you read his autobiography you will read that he is indeed present for the crowd scenes in Hard Days Night but all footage that he's in is cut. However much much later - sometime in the 80's/90's he's sent copies of the outtakes in which he appears as a present.
Read Phil’s biography, “Not Dead Yet”. You will change your mind about Phil. I went from “Yea, he is good, I like him” to OMG, this guy is awesome. One of my all time R&R’ers. I read his bio on the Queen Mary, crossing from NYC to the UK. I discovered the bio in the QM’s library. Got about 3/4ths through it on the QM. Had to buy it when we got back home to finish it. As we were “scouting about” London, we randomly got off the tube at an interesting looking small town to explore a bit. Turns out it was Phil’s neighborhood growing up. He describes it methodically in the book. What a coincidence. Speaking of coincidence, we also decided we want to see Abbey Road. Took the tub, then a bus or a 2 , then a short walk to get there. The closer we got, the more crowded it became. We were thinking “man, this place STILL draws a crowd”. Turns out, it was 50 years to the day of the infamous Beatles Abbey Road cover photo. They even had a Beatles recreation of the walk. I am a huge Phil Collins fan now, BTW. LOVED Genesis in the 70’s, but other than Peter Gabriel most of the band was incognito to me. I know much better know. And ALL of the band. Genius!
Phil, I LOVE you and your music ❤....... not sure what else to say to explain how I feel about everything you do other than...... You ARE the music !!!
As much of a Beatles fan as I am, I never really listened to this song much until I heard Phil's rendition. In my opinion, Phil is one of the best vocalists in rock music.
Phil does a good job, but Paul's voice on the original is so much more powerful that Phil's is here. Paul is the only person who can really sing this song like it is supposed to be sung.
Phil does ballads very well - he has a soft, pleasant and melodic tone. What he couldn't do well was the much more difficult and edgy early Genesis stuff. Also because Peter set a standard that nobody else seemed able to achieve.
Very few people have the Vocal and Instrumental Abilities to Pull this Off and do it Respectfully! I Loved It and was Great to hear it with Phil's Style! Thank You Phil Collins!
I'm often amazed, even after all these years, by the musical mastery expressed by those 4 guys, The Beatles! What a musical gift they were/are to humanity.
Just found this! Love it! Outstanding! I never get tired of watching Phil’s artistry. I miss him making music so much. He is such a treasure of a man with extraordinary talent.
I TOTALLY agree with your words! Phil Collins / Genesis have been an amazing part of my musical journey & its broke my heart to see how the ravages of time seemed to cripple his body, but I'm so grateful for his voice!!!
I watched this documentary - Sir George Martin's choice of songs by the Beatles and those he chose to sing each song. It was very enjoyable - he is quite the visionary. Creative, interesting, talented - the soul of the Beatles. Phil Collins & his drums - perfect match for this song. Thanks for sharing the video

Tremenda version, LASTIMA de la edicion, pal perro.
Thank you for sharing. Love Phil`s songs.

Many comments I noticed are comparing this to the Beatles version. I am sure Phil Collins is not trying to outdo the Beatles. I think he is just celebrating their brilliance. Very cool interpretation of the song. He is a musical genius in his own right.
Dan Carroll Martin asked him to do it. It was his last production
Not as good as the original version Paul McCartney is a better singed than Phil collins
But this is like trying to colour in Guernica. It invites comparison but can never, ever compare to the original.
Anthony Holmes phil collins is good but this song I agree with you.
Sos one way
Very few people can cover The Beatles, and make it worth listening to. Phil Collins is one of those few.
Dude was literally in the audience for the concert scene in A Hard Day's Night, so if anyone's qualified to cover The Beatles it's him.
They can make it worth listening and sound great just as long as they don't try to copy the fab four & and they put their own flavor into the song
Yep. Earth, Wind & Fire's "Got to Get You Into My Life" is another one.
Yeah Right !!! Collins sings through his nose, the Beatles used their mouths, absolutely no comparison !!!
he should just cover himself, that's fine
I normally cannot stand other artists singing the Beatles songs, but I must say that Phil Collins did a great job here. both as a singer and a drummer. And with George Martin playing the piano and in the controls, it is almost an original version.
I agree with you all except i think its one of thr geates compliments and respect when someone covers your song. From garage bands to grammy winners
This was recorded for the George Martin tribute album!
What about The Analogues? th-cam.com/video/BCG6faO1pjQ/w-d-xo.html

Wow!! Watching Phil Collins smack the drums is like drinking that perfect cup of coffee in the morning.... He is so brilliant and clean on the drums... It's indescribable the talented drummer he is!!!

I can't listen to the original Beatles song because when I was listening to Carry That Weight and heard that SAME melody I was like "awww crap they're about to say the thing!!"
Then the song ends abruptly and now I can only feel satisfied listening to the phil Collins version
@beastybacon199 NOOOOOOOOOOOO
One of the greatest lines in music: "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make." So true.
❤ so true!!!
I have a favorite t-shirt with that line. So perfect.

I'm picky about Beatles' covers but Phil Collins does this justice. Such a wonderful compilation of songs! RIP to the incredible George Martin.
Anca820 I was thinking that too. Sometimes a truly gifted artist sees a classic in a new way, and then we do too. Whole new dimension.
Its not a compilation those 3 songs are connected.

I usually don't want Beatles' covers, but this was fantastic-I think with George's guidance and Phil's history this was a no miss blessing to all!
I don't remember how many years ago I was in a music store in the bargain bin and happened on In My Life. Early 2000s I imagine. It was the most treasured find I can remember. This is a magnificent project. Hooray to the late Sir Martin. I say yea to Phil Collins and his interpretation of this classic. I wish him the best of health. Thanks so much for posting.
George Martin gave us a real treasure!
It's good, but what it shows above anything is how brilliant George Martin's orchestrations were for The Beatles. The combination of the amazing songwriting and equally amazing score was what made tracks like this so good. Truly the Fifth Beatle.
Phil was the voice of my generation and life. I truly miss him.
Brilliant....this never gets old! I could listen to this every day.
Just a perfect version of a very perfect medley of three interwoven top-class songs
Millenial who grew up with The Beatles here. This is a great cover. One of my favorites.
Cool
very cool leigh , thank you
enjoy these artists...you wont find many this good at so many styles....timeless if I would be so bold
Hard to believe that this medley is 50 years old.
A medley is a part of it. This is complete.
And it still sounds just as fresh and relevant today.
Año 1998.

I’ve got to admit like others have that I’m not the biggest Phil Collins fan but bloody hell, this was really awesome. Really good tribute to a band you obviously care so much about. Well done Sir.
I've long felt that Phil's been fucking hugely & unfairly maligned, for FAR too long, for no discernible reason in my view.
I mean, it's not as if he's Liam fuckin' Gallagher, or Rod Mckewn or anything. Poor fella. I bet he gets shit slippers every Xmas at his age because he's not considered worth the expense. 'Oh, the bastard injustice of it all'!🤣
@@razzle1964 he wrote a couple of pop hits and suddenly all his great work has to be regarded as mainstream slop from some strange sense of elitism I’m just happy that other artists (Martin, Eno etc) didn’t hold this view
@@brendanmccabe8373 a ‘couple of pop hits’ is slightly understating things, I feel.
@@razzle1964 I mean that they were mainstream radio friendly (and fantastic songs) as opposed to his earlier progressive rock work he had hits before but they were still eccentric and couldn’t properly be called pop
@@brendanmccabe8373 I misunderstood. I apologise.
I am SO PROUD of MY generation
❤ me too
Phil is an all-time giant in the recording industry. His talents seem boundless and though one should tread lightly when trying to remake an all-time classic, Phil, George M. and company do an excellent rendition, one of which the Beatles would surely be proud.
Agreed!
Absolutely, hands down, the greatest drummer, singer, artist and song writer of lifetime!!! And if you’re reading this.....yours too!
I'm really sorry for you😊!!
Real drums. Real composition. Real everything. Oh I'm getting old. Melodic, poetic, timeless.
I have ALWAYS loved Phil Collins ! I don't think he ever got as much praise as he deserved. I think he had huge talent !!
Funny - I always hated him. I guess it all evens out.
He was everywhere in the '80s. Trust me, he got plenty of praise.
Brilliant!! Can't stop listening to those drums. Amazing!!
Amazing and beautifull version❤
His voice is smooth like butter. A beautiful tribute. ❤️
Perfect work in drums, Phil Collins is a master!
The more I listen to these covers, the more I keep noticing how musically accurate Ringo's drumming was. These three songs in a row really adding a base line to the music, in stead of just plain rythm.
AMAZING COVER GEORGE MARTING AN PHIL
Very lovely tribute to that band Phil. Thanks alot. Lovely three songs. Love that drum section.
This IS briliant ❤️
Восхитительно.Новое дыхание "Золотых Сновидений" продолжается.Джордж Мартин отлично угадал с исполнителем.Фил,просто Красавец.А удлиненное соло ударных,очень кайфово."БИТЛЗ-ЛУЧШИЕ во Вселенной.Спасибо. друг.
I'm happy to see he appreciates this song as much as me.
Phil Collins perfect singing my favorite Beatles medley. Beatles the best band of all time. 🇧🇷❤
Such a beautiful song. It melts your heart. God bless Phil.
This is one of the most heavenly songs ever written, can not be matched by anyone but the fab four.I am so glad i lived during their wonderful time to be able to hear this .
Me too!, Great times!!!
Your opinion
I’m with you, 72 years old and love the Fab 4.
アビー・ロードの命‼️

何万回、聴いても飽きない、魔法のメドレー☝️
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Fantastic version to a Beatles genius composition. Phil is a real pro on the vocals AND the drums.
Probably the most famous medley of all time and Phil nailed it and credit to him for that.
Not so much a cover more of a tribute from one of the best😎👌
It's actually really easy with practice.. Aside from a few high notes in The End.

How is it impossible?
@@brianburkhardt5173 what?
Best cover ❤️🥺 Who is still watching in 2021?
2024!
2050 ...desde ultratumba
What a wonderful tribute by one of my favourite artists to one of my idols!!! Golden Slumbers would probably be the one if I had to choose just one Beatles/ McCartney song. Thanks Phil, beautifully performed of course. And how great to see Sir Geoge Martin there as well...Made my day!! God bless.
Did not know this existed. Coming from a large Beatle fan…Bravo Phil!!! 👍🏿
So much love showing in how Phil sang his heart out in this cover. Great job Phil. 💟
That song fits Phil very well indeed.
Come on.
It's a nice attempt, but in comparison with McCartney/The Beatles this version is lame.
Phil Colins can't carry that tune.
He can't sing the bloody song!
@@NisseOhlsen idk what you’re talking about. He sounds as good as Paul here
@@hpatss4966 Sure. And Justin Beiber is as great as Cole Porter.
@@NisseOhlsen uh no? Have you heard anything from Phil that isn’t dance into the light? He’s got a brilliant voice and he’s working with George fuckin Martin. Go and don’t come back please no one asked for your opinion
@@NisseOhlsen lmao shut up
Awesome!
Marvellous with the great George Martin on piano ! Very poignant moving touching. A classic reinterpretation of a classic !

Simply wonderful, I miss all the great singers of the 20th century. I’m and always will be thankful to them for the joy they brought to my life. I studied English because I wanted to understand the lírics! ❤❤❤ from Barcelona!
Phil has a great powerful voice with so much soul. I love this cover.
Out standing rendition..Phil is a GREAT drummer...and does this song justice
Phil Collins is a genius too
Thank you… This special version of Golden Slumbers:
What a perfectly brilliant performance of the classic Beatles' song which capped their recording career together
Uno de los artistas más completos que ha existido. La calidad e interpretación de Phil en la batería es cercana a la perfección en esta canción.

I really miss Phil Collins. Went to the Alamo last spring and saw his collection and heard his narration of the events at the Alamo. He's a guy that has been underrated for his career and talents.
Not over here, in the UK he's a legend, a prized Brit worshipped and respected by many of us 🤗
Phil Collins: my favorite musical genius
Great Version. I'm not the biggest Phil Collins fan either but you can tell how much he loves this music here. Plus he was in A Hard Days Night so he's alright by me!
Was he? What did he do
@@Ryan23H He was in the crowd, but I guess the director didnt like him enough because he wasnt going as crazy as he 'should' so he didnt make the final version.
@@Tom-qj9oi If you read his autobiography you will read that he is indeed present for the crowd scenes in Hard Days Night but all footage that he's in is cut. However much much later - sometime in the 80's/90's he's sent copies of the outtakes in which he appears as a present.
@@tonycook1624 I'm still reading his biography 😅
Read Phil’s biography, “Not Dead Yet”. You will change your mind about Phil. I went from “Yea, he is good, I like him” to OMG, this guy is awesome. One of my all time R&R’ers. I read his bio on the Queen Mary, crossing from NYC to the UK. I discovered the bio in the QM’s library. Got about 3/4ths through it on the QM. Had to buy it when we got back home to finish it. As we were “scouting about” London, we randomly got off the tube at an interesting looking small town to explore a bit. Turns out it was Phil’s neighborhood growing up. He describes it methodically in the book. What a coincidence. Speaking of coincidence, we also decided we want to see Abbey Road. Took the tub, then a bus or a 2 , then a short walk to get there. The closer we got, the more crowded it became. We were thinking “man, this place STILL draws a crowd”. Turns out, it was 50 years to the day of the infamous Beatles Abbey Road cover photo. They even had a Beatles recreation of the walk. I am a huge Phil Collins fan now, BTW. LOVED Genesis in the 70’s, but other than Peter Gabriel most of the band was incognito to me. I know much better know. And ALL of the band. Genius!
Wonderful! Respect, Love, Added Talent, Beautiful. George Martin
Phil, I LOVE you and your music ❤....... not sure what else to say to explain how I feel about everything you do other than...... You ARE the music !!!
As much of a Beatles fan as I am, I never really listened to this song much until I heard Phil's rendition. In my opinion, Phil is one of the best vocalists in rock music.
Jacob Bonner_Yes. He is underrated for sure.
Phil does a good job, but Paul's voice on the original is so much more powerful that Phil's is here. Paul is the only person who can really sing this song like it is supposed to be sung.
Phil does ballads very well - he has a soft, pleasant and melodic tone. What he couldn't do well was the much more difficult and edgy early Genesis stuff. Also because Peter set a standard that nobody else seemed able to achieve.
I didn't say that I haven't listened to it; I said that it wasn't one of my go-to songs of theirs. We all can't be as much of a fan as you are.
And that my dear is why phil is a music legend...
.
Very few people have the Vocal and Instrumental Abilities to Pull this Off and do it Respectfully! I Loved It and was Great to hear it with Phil's Style! Thank You Phil Collins!
Phil Collins is AMAZING! Check out this footage in the studio with George Martin!!
Peter Green Check Phil Collins drumming on Musical Box by Genesis.
+Christobel Carloff check out Phil Collins drumming with a band called Brand X....amazing!
A beautiful genius! Can you believe he just as brilliantly writes, sings and plays many instruments Eg. Piano!
Fantastic Beatles end to Abbey Road
+Christobel Carloff thhfhhgfggttgjjddfgghhhhjjjjvv the g
I'm often amazed, even after all these years, by the musical mastery expressed by those 4 guys, The Beatles! What a musical gift they were/are to humanity.
Just found this! Love it! Outstanding! I never get tired of watching Phil’s artistry. I miss him making music so much. He is such a treasure of a man with extraordinary talent.
I TOTALLY agree with your words! Phil Collins / Genesis have been an amazing part of my musical journey & its broke my heart to see how the ravages of time seemed to cripple his body, but I'm so grateful for his voice!!!
Rest in peace, George...
The two Georges....
He was referring to just one of them
BOTH of them!
Beatles and Phil Collins, my two favorite
I watched this documentary - Sir George Martin's choice of songs by the Beatles and those he chose to sing each song.
It was very enjoyable - he is quite the visionary. Creative, interesting, talented - the soul of the Beatles.
Phil Collins & his drums - perfect match for this song.
Thanks for sharing the video
Great cover
