I, too, loved Phil’s drumming before he went total pop, but I loved his pre-producer phase work as well, with Rupert Hine, David Hentshel, Peter Banks, Anthony Phillips, Steve Hackett, Brian Eno, Brand X, Nova, Camel, Peter Gabriel, John Cale, Robert Fripp, Daryl Hall, Mike Oldfield, Steven Bishop, John Martyn, and Al DiMeola. Plus, he produced some great albums for John Martyn, Adam Ant, Frida, Phillip Bailey, Eric Clapton, Howard Jones, and Steven Bishop, among others.

Phil Collins took his career seriously! He gave the world a glimpse of what happens when you decide to use the talents that God gives you. His personal drive, commitment and endless rehearsals is what really shaped his success plus his natural talent. I am not saying he didn't like to party but he was responsible and business minded. It's a shame that the women he married didn't obviously appreciate or understand his touring or prior responsibilities to the record industry and to the 13 different musicians that he provided jobs for when touring. He's an Icon. I hope Atlantic Records will keep him around as a producer and or writer for the new artists'. If any musician deserves a break and some employment considerations from industry professionals, it's Phil! He's probably the longest running pop, rock artist around from his era. You can tell that he was not into drugs because tried to stay in shape even while on tour. His “Dance Into The Light” tour. The stagecraft designers purposely set up his stage, so he could run completely around it during shows to get exercise. On a personal note: I hope he accepts Christ into his heart as his savior, so that he can experience the love and acceptance he should have and so that I can hear him drumming in Heaven to our Heavenly Father's music. God Please Hear My Prayer to Save Phil and his loved ones…God loves the sinner and the saint. God believes in you. Do you believe in Him?

Can't believe it took this long for at least a mention of Brand X.
