Phil Collins – My Life is So Lonely & I’m Getting Stronger By the Minute &

DOG ASIDE:

Long before Phil Collins became famous as a solo artist…..I loved the music of Genesis for years…..as Bone Daddy would play their albums often. Genesis are an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey in 1967…..becoming the most commercially successful line-up with keyboardist Tony Banks, guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins. Other important members were singer Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett. The band underwent many changes in musical style over its career….from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970’s….before moving towards pop at the end of the decade. They have sold 21.5 million RIAA-certified albums in the US and their worldwide sales are estimated to be between 100 million and 130 million.  Phil Collins was a member of Genesis from 1970 until around 1983…..when his solo career took off.
