He is also a songwriter, producer, actor and plays instruments. He sings a bit in his words, just enough to be in the hall of fame for Genesis and again for his solo career. Huge star in theday.
He is one of only three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who have sold over 100 million records both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band. Legend only kinda fits. The beared guy is Leland Sklar, one of the longest-performing session bassists in American music. And, THANK YOU for NOT pausing during that drum drop.
Phil Collins is best known as the drummer/singer of the rock band Genesis in the 70's & for his solo career. He has had so many great hits such as "Another Day In Paradise", "I Don't Care Anymore", "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)", "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Take Me Home", "Two Hearts", "A Groovy Kind Of Love", "I Wish It Would Rain Down" etc.
The one I really love is Another Day in Paradise. Here's the link, ThatSingerReactions, th-cam.com/video/Qt2mbGP6vFI/w-d-xo.html, if you haven't already seen it before.
My sisters dad is the piano player in this vid. I saw phil live when i was young and he is top 10 best live performers of all time IMO. love seeing people react to him cheers
Not bad for a drummer who sings? He's been playing the drums since he was 5 years old. Only wanted to drum. Known to be one of the top five drummers ever. But when his band Genesis lost their singer ...they couldn't find one that fit in. So Phil Collins gave it a shot and the rest is history my friend
Phil Collins is an excellent rabbit hole to go down in. Worth the time. Genesis to solo career. Origin of the lyrics of this particular song. His catalog is legend.
English musician Phil Collins has released 8 studio albums, 1 live album, 4 compilation albums, 50 singles, 16 video albums, 41 music videos, 2 soundtrack albums, 3 box sets, and 2 remix albums. A Grammy and Academy Award-winning solo artist, Collins has sold more than 34.5 million albums in the United States, and 150 million records worldwide. Philip David Charles Collins LVO (born 30 January 1951) is an English drummer, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor. He was the drummer and lead singer of the rock band Genesis and also has a career as a solo performer. Between 1982 and 1990, Collins scored three UK and seven US number-one singles as a solo artist. When his work with Genesis, his work with other artists, as well as his solo career is totalled, he had more US top 40 singles than any other artist during the 1980s.[8] His most successful singles from the period include "In the Air Tonight", "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)", "One More Night", and "Another Day in Paradise". Peace out.
Phil Collins was the front man for the band Genesis, being the drummer and lead singer, as well as having his own solo career. Some of his best know hits are Sussudio, Another Day in Paradise, Do You Remember?, Don’t Lose My Number, I Wish It Would Rain Down and many more!
@@mred777 The "Front man" usually refers to the lead singer how ever it is entirely unusual for the drummer to be the lead singer, so he's not in the front of the band he's behind them, but is the "front" singer and leader of the band!
@@jesamindee6783 Well, he was first the drummer and "second lead singer" for Genesis... The real frontman and lead singer for Genesis was Peter Gabriel. When he left the band, Phil became the lead singer for Genesis. 🙂 And he had a great solo career as well. 🙂
Phil drags his heels against the steps as he is coming down, he is feeling them..he cant even see them! Fearless! The crowd starts cheering when the drums rise up from under the stage as he approaches them! Rj
I like you and I am glad YOU saw that because we, hardly, did, and yet there is no Copyright on this all the other 46 Reactions to this have shown the video so we could really see the Beauty of The Blue Stage and the intensity of his expressions and witness, as well as hear, this wonderful experience.
"Oh he play the drums" right before the most famous drum fill of all time lol. Also "he just casually walking around the stage". Once you've seen this performance once or twice it becomes clear just how meticulous the planning of it was. He had to arrive at the kit exactly when he did for the whole thing to work.
Phil Collins learned his stage craft as the drummer of Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the front man. I'm sure you would enjoy the fantastic video of Peter Gabriel's live performance of In Your Eyes - would love to see your reaction.
Absolutely love Phil. So glad you had a chance to see what an amazing talent he is. Wish I'd seen him live at least once. Missed the Genesis farewell tour in late 2021--didn't even realize they were performing after his health issues. :(
Another interesting fact was that at the Trans Continental Live Aid Concerts in 1985, he performed on both sides of the Atlantic, at London's Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia's JFK Stadium, all on the same day!
Love this reaction!!! Phil Collins is Amazing!!! Please do more😁 Here's some more of his work; Sussudio, I wish it would rain down, I don't care anymore, Do you remember, Easy lover, Something happened on the way to heaven, Take me home, Another day in paradise, One more night, Two hearts, You'll be in my heart, Groovy kind of love, Mama, I can't dance, In too deep, Against all odds & soooo many more!!! Can't wait!😁 Enjoy!
One of the best concerts I've ever seen! Of course this is the iconic song but he has so many more! Watch the whole concert and you'll get a real feel for who Phil Collins is!
Phil was selling out stadiums in his hey day. Try Against All Odds, Something Happened On The Way to Heaven, Separate Lives, I Don't Care Anymore, etc. You should look up live concert videos of his along with his crazy amount of blockbuster hits! He was a phenomenal drummer and lead singer for Genisis before launching his stellar solo career. Surprised that he never popped up on your radar. One of the greatest musicians, songwriters, vocalists and performers of our time!
The meaning behind this song always pulls at my heart. Phil witnessed a guy that could’ve saved another guy from drowning but didn’t. Then years later Phil recognised this guys face at one of his shows. Then wrote this song about it. Em mentions it in Stan. “You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night" About that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him? That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning” You actually started singing another one of his hits at the start - Against All Odds . He and him with the band Genesis have sooo many great songs. You should take a listen.
You know Phil Collins is an amazing talent because he sure didn't make it on his looks alone. I mean that in the most respectful way. Incredible drummer, singer, song writer and performer.
Nick- this song was used in an epic manner in the pilot episode of Miami Vice as they drove along the city coastline at night. “ Santa” is Lee Sklar who’s played on over 2000 albums with hundreds of artists. “ Leland Bruce Sklar (born May 28, 1947) is an American bassist and session musician. He was a member of the Los Angeles-based instrumental group The Section, who served as the de facto house band of Asylum Records and were one of the progenitors of the soft rock sound prevalent on top-40 radio in the 1970s and 1980s.”
Holy smokes, He’s got so many good ones, surprised you haven’t heard more, Another two of my favourites are; Another Day in Paradise & Something Happened on the Way to Heaven… I would be here all day mentioning others I like, This guy is a drummer icon
Phil Collins is top ten drummer in rock history, he play drums and sing through the years in Genesis Progressive rock band, when lead singer Peter Gabriel left the band.
At the 5min mark you say "this is a fire look, come'on sing..." because he has you hooked. You caught it too. That man is on stage and has 82,000 people in the palm of his hand. . . . & This is my message to todays singers & bands. No fire, no smoke, no flashing lights, no 3 min screaming guitar solos, no dancers, no back up singers, no big stage special effects, no fancy outfits. It's all black top to bottom. Good lord, he doesn't even sway to his own music, he just calmly walks across the stage. The only thing holding those 82,000 people's attention is his voice. That my friends, is a singer. If you think you need those other things, for you or your band to be successful, you are incorrect. & This man, is proof of that.
It breaks my heart that the younger generation will never get to see him as his health is quickly failing. I was privileged enough to get to see him on this very tour in Oklahoma City in 2004. It has the most recognizable drum breaks in all of music.
There's 3 drum sets on that stage for a reason. First is Chester Thompson's set. You see moments of him playing while Phil is out front singing. He right under Phil in this song playing identical lines when Phil sits down on the second set. The third set is across from Chester down below. Phil's actual set. To seriously understand Phil's actual talent, search Phil Collins drum dual from this same show, it's incredible. When Phil Collins played drums for Genesis, in 1975 their singer Peter Gabriel left the band to pursue a solo career. The record company wanted them to hire another singer but the band decided Phil would take over lead vocals. The record exec. said to Phil, "This will never work, you don't have the face to front a band." In 1978 the band took a hiatus because Phil went home trying to save his failing marriage, which didn't happen. That is what this song is all about. After full filling other contract obligations Phil recorded his first solo album on a new label to distance himself from the executives mentioned. A final jab at those exec's was the title of the album 'Face Value' with a close up picture of his face on the cover. And this song as the first track about his ex-wife.
Phil Collins is one of the biggest names in the industry....not just as a vocalist but as a world class drummer. The singer of "Open Arms" one of the biggest power ballad of the 80's was Steve Perry, original frontman for a little band (lmao) named Journey. You may have been thinking of the song Phil Collins sang for the 80's movie "White Nights" called "Separate Lives". A bit of trivia, that movie was made at the height of the cold war between the United States and Russia. The plot is about a Caucasian dancer who is Russian wanting to defect to the United States (played by world famous dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov) and an African American dancer wanting to defect from the United States to Russia (played by another famous dancer, Gregory Hines). Just had to put that out there....
His son actually now plays the drums at his concerts cuz Phil isn't able to anymore due to health problems. Btw, you might know his daughter Lily collins, she's an actress and has been in a ton of movies, most recently playing the lead role in the Netflix series Emily In Paris.
Phil Collins was the drummer for Genesis. Peter Gabriel, the lead singer of Genesis left to strike out on his own as a solo artist and Phil took over as drummer and singer. Very hard to do as the drummer maintains the beat of the song and he also has to sing. Watch Don Henley of the Eagles. He's the drummer and singer. Hotel California is wonderful to watch.
Phil is primarily a drummer and songwriter but he can sing up a storm too! He was in a famous band called Genesis in the 70s, and had a string of solo hits in the 80s. Just look them up on Wikipedia! My favourite is Do You Remember? It's a ballad but the lyrics cut you like galss.
One of Favourite Drummer / Singer Legends Don Henley ( Eagles ) Mick Fleetwood ( Fleetwood Mac ) Chris Cornell ( Audioslave/ Sound Garden ) 🔥🔥🔥 Not Sure how Phil Collins is travelling these days, but the Legendary Artist was Not doing to Well ! Genesis - I Can't Dance , Mama , Invisible touch , Follow You Follow Me , No Son of Mine , In Too Deep Phil Collins Solo Songs - ( Billy ) Don't lose My Number Easy Lover , You Can't Hurry Love , Two Hearts , Against All Odds , I Wish it Would Rain Down , One More Night , Sussudio , Dance Into the Light , A Groovy Kind of Love , Another Day in Paradise, Do You Remember etc....
This was my favourite of favourite songs for 30+ years. Then I saw Mike Posner do I took a Pill in Ibiza’s live version at London Summertime Ball and Phil’s been relegated to second
Phill is an amazing musician and singer. It's rumoured that he wrote this song about coming home one day to find his wife in bed asleep with another man, although they did not see him, he walked out, divorced her and wrote this song. He was asked about it in an interview and denied it but imagine being that ex wife and guy having the most recognised song written about you. 🤣. Phill has another awesome song with one of my favourite drummers Chester Thompson, th-cam.com/video/dhwjcg6TeO0/w-d-xo.html It showcase Chester on the drums 🥁 a must see 👀 Lots of love from the Garnar's 🎵❤️
He is a masterful drummer who happens to singing amazingly
Lol, hopped into the comments to say exactly this!
He is also a songwriter, producer, actor and plays instruments. He sings a bit in his words, just enough to be in the hall of fame for Genesis and again for his solo career. Huge star in theday.
He is a masterful singer who happens to drum amazingly.
@@RareHarmony he started as a drummer before he became a singer
@@iamlinda100 Incredible. Sounds like Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters. Started off a drummer, now singer.
I read somewhere that he described himself as 'a drummer who sings a bit.' What an understatement.
“Oh he play the drums?!?” Cracked me up! 😂 Phil is one of if not the Greatest drummer ever! First with Genesis then solo! Great reaction ❤
First with Brand X over 4 LP's. Long before Genesis, and with astonishingly complex jazz rock drum beats.
He was already the drummer for genesis when brand x formed
I know my thoughts exactly😂😂😂Phil Collins is the GOAT!!!💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆
Phil is one of the best drummers around
Phil Collins…one of the most underrated vocalist of our time..💯💯💯💯💯
He is one of only three recording artists, along with Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, who have sold over 100 million records both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band. Legend only kinda fits.
The beared guy is Leland Sklar, one of the longest-performing session bassists in American music.
And, THANK YOU for NOT pausing during that drum drop.
And Leland is one of the best and most prolific.
I love this live so much because those that know are waiting and those that don't know get shocked it's perfection.

Don't forget the soundtrack for Tarzan
"Don't lose my number"
Plus the soundtrack to the film Buster.
My sisters dad is the piano player in this vid. I saw phil live when i was young and he is top 10 best live performers of all time IMO. love seeing people react to him cheers
Would probably be less confusing for people if you said “my step sisters dad” lol
@@Hey_Jamie possibly. But maybe more confusing for my childhood thinking she was my full sister….. lmfao 🤣
@@Hey_Jamie my only claim to fame is being semi related to the daughter of the phil collins piano player Jamie…… LET ME HAVE THIS !!!!!!! hahahhahah.
@@Chefbwest it’s yours 😂

That build up to the climax is legendary. His live concerts were unsurpassed in their brilliance.
Why am I just now seeing this??!!❤❤
Phil is a legend. Period. ❤
Every reaction I have watched for this video gets the same shocking reaction at the drum fill. Awesome!
Phil Collins is a legend !!!! Love the man and his talent !!!!!
I love watching someone discover how great Phil really is.. great job on this reaction
The guitar went crazy. This guy makes me so proud to be British
An iconic performance! 👍👍👍
Phil Collins is an excellent rabbit hole to go down in. Worth the time. Genesis to solo career. Origin of the lyrics of this particular song. His catalog is legend.
Volume up full, and everyone SHUSH, Phil Collins is on.....singing the top of my voice (neighbours best be out, too bad if they're not hehe)

And last but not least is his musical performance in Disney's "Tarzan " a lot of wonderful songs there.
Phil Collins is a Legend. Amazing drummer and a great singer. Love this song and "Another Day in Paradise" is another favourite.
Phil is a great singer and drummer, u r blessed with hearing his masterful song for the first time.
One of the greatest drummers/vocalists of all time!
Also, don’t forget that Phil was a big part of Genesis before this song came out.
Unusual that he was wandering the stage during this performance. He was usually sitting behind the drum kit ready to wreak havoc!
Phil Collins was the front man for the band Genesis, being the drummer and lead singer, as well as having his own solo career. Some of his best know hits are Sussudio, Another Day in Paradise, Do You Remember?, Don’t Lose My Number, I Wish It Would Rain Down and many more!

That song will never be forgotten.
Phil Collins is a legend and when you hear that drum solo and don't get chills you are dead to me!👍
This is still the best performance by an artist I've seen, gives me chills every time. Do yourself a favour and check out his other stuff 👍😎
Great reaction! "I don't care anymore" is one of my favorites. He's just crazy talented and messmerizing.
Phil drags his heels against the steps as he is coming down, he is feeling them..he cant even see them! Fearless! The crowd starts cheering when the drums rise up from under the stage as he approaches them! Rj
Nah all those people came to only see Phil Collins. Thats a REAL concert
Open Arms, Steve Perry Journey. One of my favorite songs from when I was a teenager.
i’m surprised he FORGOT already - he reacted to a LOT of Journey / Steve Perry songs lol
I like you and I am glad YOU saw that because we, hardly, did, and yet there is no Copyright on this all the other 46 Reactions to this have shown the video so we could really see the Beauty of The Blue Stage and the intensity of his expressions and witness, as well as hear, this wonderful experience.
LOL the audience were just waiting for the drum part to drop 😀 He timed it perfectly 🦍

What a legendary song
Phil is sooo amazing!!! 🥰🇦🇺🥂
Great drummer.
Absolutely amazing legendary talent! Also, the Disney animated Tarzan movie…Phil Collins is that entire soundtrack!!
Seen Phil Collins live on his no jacket required world tour in Perth Western Australia 1985. Unbelievable entertainer.
Phil Collins learned his stage craft as the drummer of Genesis when Peter Gabriel was the front man. I'm sure you would enjoy the fantastic video of Peter Gabriel's live performance of In Your Eyes - would love to see your reaction.
Absolutely love Phil. So glad you had a chance to see what an amazing talent he is. Wish I'd seen him live at least once. Missed the Genesis farewell tour in late 2021--didn't even realize they were performing after his health issues. :(

Saw Phil in concert. Amazing, waiting for him to hit those drums! Prayers for his health 🙏❤🙏
You will love his duet with Philip Bailey (Easy Lover). 2 amazing vocalists.
Love this reaction!!! Phil Collins is Amazing!!! Please do more😁 Here's some more of his work; Sussudio, I wish it would rain down, I don't care anymore, Do you remember, Easy lover, Something happened on the way to heaven, Take me home, Another day in paradise, One more night, Two hearts, You'll be in my heart, Groovy kind of love, Mama, I can't dance, In too deep, Against all odds & soooo many more!!!

One of the best concerts I've ever seen! Of course this is the iconic song but he has so many more! Watch the whole concert and you'll get a real feel for who Phil Collins is!
I've seen him live 5 times. 4 times solo (3 different tours) and once with Genesis. He really is fantastic :D Thx for the reaction!
I love your reactions!!!!
"Oh, he play the drums?" LOL LOL LOL yeah, he plays the drums

Loved it a big fan
The meaning behind this song always pulls at my heart.
Phil witnessed a guy that could’ve saved another guy from drowning but didn’t.
Then years later Phil recognised this guys face at one of his shows.
Then wrote this song about it.
Em mentions it in Stan.
“You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
About that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning”

Phil...a drummer first,a singer second,yet great at both!
Love your channel Hun! New subscriber!! I grew up listening to Phil Collins as a teen....now 56 yrs young 😁 Still LOVE his music! Cheers ♥️🇨🇦

Before his solo career, he was the drummer for Genesis
He's actually a very good singer, song writer, and drummer!!
He was also in a movie I think it was called “Buster”
Fantastic,performance love his music saw him live in Sydney couple of years ago, he is having back trouble his son was on the drums

Instrumentals is brilliant in this song love listening to his home by the sea
The one you were trying to sing, is Open Arms by Journey. This was his concert in France. This is first song after intermission
....."come to you in open arms....." That's Steve Perry - Journey But I think you came to that conclusion..... ❤
His son actually now plays the drums at his concerts cuz Phil isn't able to anymore due to health problems. Btw, you might know his daughter Lily collins, she's an actress and has been in a ton of movies, most recently playing the lead role in the Netflix series Emily In Paris.
She also did Mirror, Mirror
This is the main song I know Phil Collins by as well. This song is a classic.
He has worked on a few movie soundtracks, brother bear and Tarzan being just a few... He is a masterful musician 👌..
You be you don't change nothinxxxxxx❤❤❤❤❤
Phil Collins sang the whole Tarzan soundtrack and Brother Bear.
I was wondering if you knew he played the drums! He definitely put it all out there. Amazing reaction as always 💖🦋
You would love easy lover by Phil Bailey and Phil Collins, beautiful song
Chris here man, first comment and cant wait! Amazing song

I like this song in Miami Vice
Phil Collin's is the Drums!!!
I learnt so much from Phil and his crew. The vocoder is epic to play with. You know more by him, just don't know its him
One of Favourite Drummer / Singer Legends Don Henley ( Eagles ) Mick Fleetwood ( Fleetwood Mac ) Chris Cornell ( Audioslave/ Sound Garden ) 🔥🔥🔥
Not Sure how Phil Collins is travelling these days, but the Legendary Artist was Not doing to Well !
Genesis - I Can't Dance , Mama , Invisible touch , Follow You Follow Me , No Son of Mine , In Too Deep
Phil Collins Solo Songs - ( Billy ) Don't lose My Number
Easy Lover , You Can't Hurry Love , Two Hearts , Against All Odds , I Wish it Would Rain Down , One More Night , Sussudio , Dance Into the Light , A Groovy Kind of Love , Another Day in Paradise, Do You Remember etc....
"You'll Be In My Heart" from Disney's Tarzan soundtrack is great too. Big tear jerker too..
Welcome to Phil Collins!!! he also wrote songs for some movie soundtracks.
This was my favourite of favourite songs for 30+ years. Then I saw Mike Posner do I took a Pill in Ibiza’s live version at London Summertime Ball and Phil’s been relegated to second
Phill is an amazing musician and singer. It's rumoured that he wrote this song about coming home one day to find his wife in bed asleep with another man, although they did not see him, he walked out, divorced her and wrote this song. He was asked about it in an interview and denied it but imagine being that ex wife and guy having the most recognised song written about you. 🤣.
Phill has another awesome song with one of my favourite drummers Chester Thompson, th-cam.com/video/dhwjcg6TeO0/w-d-xo.html
