Philip David Charles Collins LVO(born 30 January 1951) is
an English drummer, singer, record producer, songwriter and actor. He is best
known as the drummer/singer of the rock band Genesis and for his
solo career. Between
1982 and 1990, Collins achieved three UK and seven US number-one singles in his
solo career. 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. His most successful singles from the
period include "In the Air Tonight",
"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", and "Another Day
in Paradise".
Born
and brought up in West London, Collins played drums from the age of five and
completed drama school training, which secured him various roles as a child
actor. He then pursued a music career, joining Genesis in
1970 as their drummer and becoming lead singer in 1975 following the departure
of Peter Gabriel. Collins
began a successful solo career in the 1980s, initially inspired by his marital
breakdown and love of soul music,
releasing the albums Face Value(1981),
Hello, I Must
Be Going(1982), No Jacket Required(1985)
and ...But Seriously (1989). Collins became, in the words of AllMusic,
"one of the most successful pop and adult
contemporary singers of the '80s and
beyond". He also became known for a distinctive gated reverb drum
sound on many of his recordings. In 1985, he was the only artist to perform at
both Live Aid concerts.
He also resumed his acting career, appearing in Miami Vice and
subsequently starring in the film Buster(1988).
In 1996, Collins left Genesis to focus on solo work; this included writing
songs for Disney’s Tarzan(1999)
for which he received an Oscar for Best
Original Song for “You'll Be in
My Heart”. He rejoined Genesis for their Turn It On
Again Tour in 2007. Following a five-year
retirement to focus on his family life, Collins released an autobiography in
2016 and completed his Not Dead Yet Tour in 2019. He then joined up with Genesis for a second
reunion tour to commence in late 2021.
Collins's
discography includes eight studio albums that
have sold 33.5 million certified units in the US and an estimated
150 million records sold worldwide, making him one of the world's
best-selling artists. 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. He has won eight Grammy Awards, six Brit Awards (winning
Best British Male Artist three times), two Golden Globe Awards,
one Academy Award, and a Disney Legend Award. He was awarded six Ivor Novello Awards from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors,
including the International Achievement Award. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999, and was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010. He has also been recognised by music
publications with induction into the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame in 2012, and the Classic Drummer Hall of Fame in 2013.
Phil Collins recorded
a new version of "A Groovy Kind of Love" in 1988. He had originally
suggested the song as a good one for collaborator Stephen
Bishop to record, with Collins producing.
While filming the movie Buster(1988),
Collins suggested the song as a potential love theme for the title character
and his wife. He
recorded a demo as a guide for the producers, only to find out later his demo
had actually been used in the film. Collins had initially expressed
reservations about being featured on the soundtrack during the movie, but
relented due to feeling it worked well for the scene. He
subsequently recorded a full version of the song, co-produced by Anne Dudley. This
version was originally released on Buster: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.
It subsequently appeared on the compilation albums Hits,
Love Songs: A Compilation... Old and New,
and The Singles.
A live performance appeared on his Serious
Hits... Live! album.
When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When you're close to
me
I can feel your heartbeat
I can hear you breathing in my ear
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me
Got a groovy kind of love
Any time you want to
You can turn me into
Anything you want to
Any time at all
When I kiss your lips
Ooh, I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me
Got a groovy kind of love
When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms
Nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter
I don't care
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me
Got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind
of love
(Oho, woah)
We got a groovy kind of love.
