Phil Collins: The Hardest Working Man in the History of Music
Description
In this episode of Dropped Among This Crowd, Sara J. dives deep into the life and career of Phil Collins—from his formative years, to Genesis, to his groundbreaking solo work, and beyond. We explore the stories behind In the Air Tonight, his collaborations with legends like Eric Clapton, his commercial dominance alongside artists like Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson, and the unforgettable Live Aid performance that cemented his place in music history.
Sara also shares personal memories of seeing Phil live as a kid, highlights his autobiography Not Dead Yet, and invites listeners to weigh in: which era of Phil Collins do you remember most—Genesis, solo hits, or even the Tarzan soundtrack?
Join us for a deep dive into a career that has truly soundtracked our lives.
