I would warmly recommend "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel featuring Kate Bush. One of the most beautiful duets ever.
@leslieturner82762 жыл бұрын
Kate's very first collaboration with Peter Gabriel was when she provided bscking vocals on two tracks from Peter's 3rd album namely "Games Without Frontiers" (which was released as a single) and "No Self Control".

This video completely BLEW UP on MTV back in the day and won a record 9 VMAs in 1987. The album this song is from, "So", is a masterpiece. So many great songs on it. I highly recommend also checking out In Your Eyes, Solsbury Hill, Red Rain, Big Time, Don't Give Up (duet with Kate Bush). You should also check out some earlier stuff like Shock the Monkey, Games Without Frontiers... he has so many good songs really. And FYI in case you didn't know, Peter was the original vocalist for Genesis from 1967-1975 (then Phil Collins took over when Peter left).

You should check out "In Your Eyes" Secret World live recording. I know people usually prefer hearing studio versions first but it is truly the definitive version of the song. Plus it includes Paula Cole on backing vocals, who has her own singing career well worth diving into.

Brilliant!! Peter Gabriel is the ultimate artist. Thjs video was made using stop motion so if you imagine every frame/movement having to be painstakingly captured one by one and I think they may have did it backwards or something crazy like that lol and yes the lyrics are very suggestive lol 😏 so many good Peter Gabriel songs, please react to Peter Gabriel Kate Bush “Don’t give up” ♥️♥️

Yes! Definitely more Peter Gabriel! This video won nine MTV Music Video Awards (back when MTV actually played music videos around the clock! :-) ) in 1987, including Video of the Year, Best Special Effects and Best Art Direction. Also from that same "So" album are the terrific songs "In Your Eyes" and "Don't Give Up," a hauntingly beautiful duet with Kate Bush. I aso recommend Peter's songs "Shock the Monkey" (1982) and "Solsbury Hill" (his first solo hit back in 1977). And like commenter Peter Dennis recommended, Peter's 10-minute-long 1994 "Secret World Live" tour concert video of "In Your Eyes" is absolutely stunning. But on first listen, I recommend the studio recording and/or original video for "In Your Eyes." (Both are spiritual experiences, in my opinion. :-) ) Peter started off as the lead singer of the rock band Genesis. After Peter went solo, drummer Phil Collins took over the lead vocals and much of the songwriting efforts for the band, now a trio, which went on to achieve its most commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s without Peter. When Peter was in Genesis, its style was more progressive and experimental and artsy-fartsy (dare I say "flat-out weird!" LOL). And Peter would wear white Kabuki makeup and colorful, "interesting" costumes. For a sample of young, long-haired 20-something Peter in Genesis, you might enjoy their song "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight" (1973 live performance video).

Whenever my eldest brother and I heard a song from Peter Gabriel or Genesis we would comment that this is one of the odd times that a member of a group left for solo work, the band continued with one member gone and both of which went on to superstar status. Peter obvious had a different visions the other three did not share. this decision made them all happier, and we got to hear all they have done over the last several decades.

Even though Peter Gabriel was massively successful at the time, I feel like he is under appreciated today relative to some of his peers. For me the music really stands the test of time, whereas other bands from the same period don't excite me the way they once did.

Peter Gabriel is one of the best musicians, the best lyricists, and the best SHOWMEN of all time. I've seen him live and he just blows me away every time. The live version of "In Your Eyes" and "Secret World" are so incredible I can't do them justice with words. He's got a whole slew of great tunes to check out on top of that - "Solsbury Hill", "Shock the Monkey", "Don't Give Up" (duet with Kate Bush), "Steam", "Big Time", "Digging In the Dirt"... I'll stop there, but this is a rabbit hole you're going to love diving into. It's worth noting that a very popular 90s female artist, Paula Cole, started out as a member of Peter Gabriel's world tours as a backup vocalist.

This is the greatest video of all time . The merging of an Aplus song with visuals that rival the best semi abstract and abstract Artists in the history of mankind . It is basically a love song of courtship . That is the simple part but it has so many other sub themes , motifs , puns etc. that PHD dissertations could be written about Sledgehammer . There are the easy ones like . Which came first the chicken or the egg ? How will the world end and then in that waterfall of paint we see a d’homage to Jackson Pollack albeit , for one second . I think the star scape in the end might have been inspired by the Paddy Chayefsky/ Ken Russell film Altered States . Anyway yours is the best reaction I have seen yet . You get it and you do not seem to have smart Phone era ADD . Thank you and keep it going . I am hitting your button . You earned it !

Oh gosh, sledgehammer is one of Peter Gabriel‘s biggest hits, if not his biggest hit. And yet, one of my least favorites. Please check out other songs by him. In Your Eyes is amazing. San Jacinto. Talk to Me. And of course, Don’t Give Up with Kate Bush. And Salisbury Hill. If you have the inclination, I would suggest you react to the entire concert video of Secret World Live. It’s one of the best live shows ever done. Paula Cole is a back up singer on the tour, before she became famous in her own right. It’s utterly magical and you will not regret the time spent.

Carpet Crawlers (from his Genesis days), Here Comes The Flood, Solsbury Hill, Games Without Frontiers, Red Rain, In Your Eyes are just some of his excellent songs. But really, the only thing better than Peter Gabriel is his duets with Kate Bush: Don't Give Up and Another Day. Just get the tissues out, your eyes are going to get... misty.

@adamdodgshon6382 жыл бұрын
In many ways this is the most obvious and yet also the worst place to start with Peter Gabriel. He’s such a wonderful, experimental and daring artist, that this incredibly catchy and groovy hit really doesn’t represent his work at all and yet it’s also his most iconic and well known song. Helped in no small way by the video. His solo career (after he left Genesis) started in 1977. His first 4 albums were all just called “Peter Gabriel”. For this album, his 5th, the record company insisted on a ‘proper title’. He went for the smallest ‘anti-title’ he could think of and called the album “So”. You would be doing yourself a disservice not to check out older songs like Humdrum, Here Comes The Flood, DIY, Not One Of Us, I Have The Touch, Rhythm Of The Heat. All released before this album. He’s a phenomenal artists and apparently set for a new album soon. His first album of new work for years.
