Phil Collins | No Jacket Required [1985]
We are definite Genesis fans here, and we thought it would be fun to delve into the solo work of some of the members. We're starting with Phil and his 3rd solo record. It has some of our favorite solo Phil songs including "Sussudio" and "We Said Hello Goodbye".
No Jacket Required is the third studio album by English drummer and singer-songwriter Phil Collins. It was released on 18 February 1985 by Virgin Records in the UK and on 25 February 1985 by Atlantic and WEA internationally. After finishing touring commitments with Genesis and working with Eric Clapton in 1984, Collins resumed his solo career and started work on a new album. He made a conscious decision to write more uptempo and dance-oriented songs, as much of his previous material was influenced by matters surrounding his first divorce. The album features Helen Terry, Peter Gabriel, and Sting as guest backing vocalists.
No Jacket Required was received favourably by the majority of critics and was a huge worldwide commercial success, reaching number one in the UK for five consecutive weeks and for seven non-consecutive weeks in the US. It was the second-best-selling album of 1985 in the UK, behind Dire Straits. "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Don't Lose My Number" and "Take Me Home" were released as singles, with corresponding music videos. All four were top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with "Sussudio" and "One More Night" reaching number one. The three singles released in the UK all reached the top 20.
Please let us know what you think of this record! We love comments.
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching :)
