Did You Know?
"In the Air Tonight" was written in a furious burst after Collins's divorce — he has said the words were largely improvised in about 10 minutes, and the famous urban legend about him witnessing a drowning is completely false.
Practice Questions
Q:Which Genesis song features Collins on both drums and lead vocals?
A:“Mama.”
Released in 1983, it showcased Collins’ evolution as Genesis’s frontman. The song’s eerie atmosphere, drum machine patterns, and intensity demonstrated a darker, more experimental side of the band’s sound.
Q:Which Phil Collins song topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984?
A:“Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now).”
Written for the 1984 movie *Against All Odds*, this emotional ballad won acclaim and commercial success, becoming one of Collins’ most powerful and chart-topping singles in his prolific solo career.
The giant, punchy drum sound on "In the Air Tonight" came from a studio accident: Collins and engineer Hugh Padgham discovered gated reverb using a talkback mic at Townhouse Studios; the effect had first been used on Peter Gabriel's "Intruder" but Collins popularized it.
