Period every damn thang!! ❤❤❤ still love him!!

Easy Lover, Another Day In Paradise, Sussudio, and the track my parents had on repeat in the 80s...Invisible Touch! Great times. I need a time machine.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍

Ohhh yesssss ❤️❤️❤️

@@EtoTheKayI would need one too 😢

They did. Collins produced Bailey's solo album Chinese Wall (which includes "Easy Lover"). Collins played also drums on that album and the backing band consisted of Earth Wind and Fire (Phenix Horns) and Genesis/Collins live and studio (Daryl Stuermer) musicians.

@@landischorsch Whoa. I was a kid when this came out and my dad was a big EW&F and blasted anything with Philip Bailey on it

@@theblackpearlofbraavos Wow really. I come from the other side: I've been a Phil Collins fan since I was 11 years old, so this wonderful piece of music reached my radar very soon after. Sometime later, I learned to know Philip Bailey's album Chinese Wall and I thought it was a wonderful American/British collaboration. When I learned to love 1970s and 1980s soul/funk/R&B in my late teen years, EW&F came automatically across my ears and since the recent years I've thought All 'N All is my favorite EW&F album.

@@landischorsch that is way cool. Phil Collins and Genesis got play in my house growing up. Lots of funk and R&B, of course. There was all kinds of music playing in my house and feel pretty fortunate to have been exposed to so many different sounds.

Yeah baby so are you

He definitely is!!!

With a voice like his, can you really blame us for that?

As a former drummer/guitarist I approve of this message! #timelessmusic

he plays piano too

It's funny because I remember him more as a drummer than as a singer 😅

Philip Bailey asked Collins to sing one ballad on his album. Colin ended up producing the whole album + sang that song with baily. Really a awesome feature Colins is such wide range talanted in terms of music, its insane

@@MrRennschnitzel Wow! Thanks for the story behind the song. Phil is a great multi-talent indeed!

Happy and joyful. Damn.

I read that Phil Collins was going to produce this song sung by Philip Bailey but that when it came time to record the song Phil Collins had one idea on how the song should sound while Philip Bailey on the other hand had another completely different idea on how the song should sound. So Phil Collins said screw it and let's just do this song together. And that's how we ended up with this great duet.

should be Phil Collins' genius

Haha shyt

Best era

False deluded comment.

Yeah, there was actually lots of great bands of the 80s. Peter Gabriel, Genesis, iNXS Robert Palmer, Roxy Music Pink Floyd, Zeppelin and others. Big earrings big hair & tiny dance floors. Every generation has their music and fashion. You had to be there to feel the magic. 🕊️

Never ever

Hello 👋🏼 Charla M Roper

@Phil Collins Thank you for the kind message! Hope you are doing good and holding up as well! Pretty sure you will be back on that stage in no time! Big fan of your music! Soundtrack of my youth! Look forward to hearing your latest work and seeing you rock out on that stage! Remember the Alamo and take care Mr. Collins! 👍

Just simply love it. 💋

I am. Love love this song❤

Me also, March 2024

I seriously can't keep myself from hearing the voice of 3-CPO while reading this comment.

If the music is good, doesn't matter what year you listen to it !

Always 💯

You better believe it

Hello l'm Calvin and One of the number one hit songs in the 1980's when l was just an little boy was by PhillipBailey, ad Phill Collins..Easy Lover,,,

I thought Phil Collins stopped touring due to health issues.

I never knew that's where Phillip came from!

今もコンサートで大観衆の前で歌ってるなんて最高ですね！本当にタフなアーティスト

​@@andysozio8556not even close. He on a full tour his health hasn't been better. Don't believe those photos showing him old a decrepit in a wheel chair. He lost some feeling in one arm so he can only drum half the show.

Wow!

Man me too. Born in 83 and I hated this stuff. I was a rock and metal guy. Now I play this stuff at parties and love it. I live for 80’s 90’s adult contemporary.

Me too😊

Beautiful

Me too borned 83 this song really nostalgic

I'm 32 and it's hit me early bro 😂

They kinda did

Seeing as Collins Produced the album, played drums and contributed backing vocals I kinda think they did. Its called Chinese Wall.

Amazing collaboration! This is fantastic as good as the collaboration of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson. I believe the first half of 80's is the most imaginative age of Phil Collins.

Chinese Wall

Walking on the Chinese Wall was the other single from it to chart in the UK. Phil had his third solo album No Jacket Required out at roughly the same time.

Facts my friend FACTS!!!

FACTS

The should have made an album together! They were brilliant together

Does anyone know what does Phil say in the 0:00 - 0:10 part? It's a little bit difficult to understand British English 😅

@@marcocastro8244 he says this is a video about a video of people making a video. So there is a little bit more going on the usual promo video. Or words to that effect. He also said summat about Phillip looking really fit.

Hey there how are you doing today ?

I remember those times also very well , because I fell in love with my first husband while listening to "in the air tonight" and "Easy lover"!

Tyler Clark ,I’ve always wondered who Philip Bailey was & why Phil Collins sang with him,thank you. Absolutely loved this song & video back in the day & holds fantastic memories

Who would of thought of it?

Never thought

WELL SAID

@@vinerscott PC produced PB's solo album "Chinese Wall". He was a busy boy in the 1980s, working as drummer and producer for Eric Clapton, Frida, Howard Jones, Robert Plant and Philip Bailey!

Shocked?

He's one of the greatest drummers of the last 50+ years. At one point, he was the lead singer and drummer of Genesis, he was also the drummer of the jazz fusion prog band Brand X, and he was working on his first solo album in which he played ALL the instruments, all at the same time. He invented the gated reverb drum sound on Peter Gabriel's Melt album on the song Intruder, which he then also used on his own mega hit In the Air Tonight, Genesis' Mama etc. In the 80s He PRODUCED and played drums in between Genesis and his solo albums and tours for Eric Clapton, the Abba singer Frida, Robert Plant, this one for Philip Bailey of course, and many other artists. He played in the Secret Policeman's Ball concerts, the Princes Trusts Concerts, at Live Aid in 85 where he played in England and the US on the same day, playing drums and singing with multiple artists (Sting, Led Zep, his solo sets). He played in multiple Knebworths. He was the most dominant, busy and successful artist of the 80s for sure, he was all over the place, movie soundtracks (Against All Odds), later the Disney films. Truly a nonstop workaholic.

@@kbrewski1 ...and, he is left-handed and plays a left-handed kit.

@ShikataGaNai100 True. Which is why his long time drum mate Chester Thompson is always on his right, and Chester is a righty.

He also learned to play drums while on set as a child actor. He found that taller boys would get the lead parts, leaving him with sidekick parts, he wanted more and playing the drums got him the stage he dreamed of

can't remake perfection and total harmony like this...

Well said

When I’m drunk, I tend to ruin it with a remake.

I'm gonna tell DJ Khaled what you said 😈

@@BSkill100 🤬

From a metalhead to a metal head - we can appreciate real f@cken good music. The list goes on, and on. Guys like Genesis, Queen, DIO, Ratt, Kokus, Motley, Judas and here as well, the list goes on and on : )

@@Adam_Stefaniak for real. I listened to my pops listen to these classics. Mainly Queen & Freddie Mercury.

To metalhead-to metalhead-From metalhead...This song has heart and soul...Something we can ALL appreciate! THIS is what makes music a masterpiece!

As a metalhead myself, I love this song!

I’m 71, don’t live in the past but have great memories of the Eighties!

agreed 1000% !!!!

bleep77 troubles? look at the shit now :(... fuck i miss the 80s

bleep77 i g8that we need more hit song2to follow

I was there

damn straight I was born in 81, grew up in one of the best carefree generations of the 20th century. MTV's golden age, Saturday morning cartoons, and Nintendo that was my childhood

I loved it and i'm still loving this song. So long time. I was able to drive with two instead three wheels. And i loved "sade - Smooth operator" I think it had been the same time? So long ago and i'm still loving this songs of my youngest age.

@@derekb.9177 every once in awhile I go down the “80s rabbit hole” and binge listen to everything from that fantastic era of music. I was born in 1982 so these were also the songs of my youth. Tears for Fears, Toto, Genesis, Taking Heads, Sade and Simply Red are all required listening.

@@literallyshaking8019 yes "Simply Red and Pat Benetar - Love is a battlefield" are also very old but for endless time and never get boring like Stock/Aitken/Waterman. But you had been very young when this music came out.

With a tot or two of whiskey this is good stuff ........

I think it's wonderful when a white man and black man work together as team

👍

she not others.... before you know yer knees

He said in an interview that he used practice singing like a woman that's how is voice get like that

@@jamesbondero5691 he actually said that he was mimicking the female singers that he loved and didn’t even know it was considered to be falsetto, until a teacher complimented his falsetto voice. But he had to be born with the four octave range he has in order to be able to sing that high. Especially with being able to sing such pure notes and with vibrato like he does when he sings falsetto. His voice is just gorgeous.

@@susancurrie2627 wow ,some hellava insight on the concept of singing high notes octaves etc ... From you , great information 👍

Phil Collins produced his whole album, had his own career and was still with Genesis that time

@@immanuelcunt5488 Yeah he really was a busy musician and genius. 👍😎🤘

It's lucky + mind blowing enough that we even got this song; the two of them together. Both being in bands at the time. Them just ending up doing one song together 🤯...get what u mean though.

One of the best. Do you remember Richard Marx : Endless Summer Nights? Brilliant!!!

This, Careless Whisper and Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Best and most iconic songs of the 80s in my view

@@damonorm7277 everybody wants to rule the world is my first choice too...By a mile.....but this is definatly one of my favorite 80’s tunes....

It was fun

Phil Collins put them together ! Earth, Wind & Fire played the Horns & Saxaphone on the GENISIS ( Abacab Album song "No Reply at All" ) Phillip Bailey was the LEAD Singer for Earth, Wind & Fire. That is how they met eachother !

Allah did not forbid music. This is a complete fabrication. There is no such ruling in the Holy Qur'an. Music is a wonderful gift from Allah to people. Those who want to discredit Islam fabricate such lies in the name of the Prophet Muhammad. Аллах не запрещал музыку. Это полная выдумка. В Священном Коране такого постановления нет. Музыка - прекрасный дар от Аллах. Те, кто хочет дискредитировать ислам, используют имя Пророка Мухаммеда, чтобы сфабриковать такую ложь. Allah no prohibió la música. Esta es una fabricación completa. No existe tal regla en el Sagrado Corán. La música es un regalo maravilloso de Allah para las personas. Aquellos que quieren desacreditar al Islam inventan tales mentiras en nombre del Profeta Muhammad. لم يمنع الله الموسيقى. هذا تلفيق كامل. لا يوجد مثل هذا الحكم في القرآن الكريم. الموسيقى هدية رائعة من الله للناس. أولئك الذين يريدون تشويه سمعة الإسلام يختلقون مثل هذه الأكاذيب باسم النبي محمد. Allah müziği yasaklamamıştır. Bu tamamen uydurmadır. Kutsal Kitabımız Kuranı-Kerim'de Allah'ın böyle bir emri yoktur. Müzik Yüce Allah'ın insanlara lütfettiği güzel bir nimettir. İslam'ı bilerekten gözden düşürmek isteyenler hz.Muhammed Peygamberin adını kullanarak böyle yalanlar uyduruyorlar. 上帝并没有禁止音乐。 这是完全的捏造。 《古兰经》中没有这样的规定。 音乐是上帝赐予的美好礼物。 那些想诋毁伊斯兰教的人以先知穆罕默德的名义编造这样的谎言。

It isn't

True... Im into jazz,uk garage,drum and bass,hiphop,tri-hop,pop so many others Music is ECLECTIC

We definitely don't. 80's music was immensely memorable.

He is an Aquarius after all 😂

the destroyer of the other three elements

Then should we call them the ELEMENTALS?

😂

Época de cantores de verdade...

Part of why I love The band KORN so much is because Jonathan Davis the lead singer 👨‍🎤 Likes to use analog equipment for its pure sound and old school sounds. He sometimes layers analog to get what we end up hearing when listening to their albums. Part of the reason IMHO why they sound almost the exact same live as they do in my headphones! No joke! it's pretty incredible to be able to do it that well 😌 Having seen them stleast 5 times And each time that was proven over and over 🤷🏻‍♂️

They actually had the ability too loop the vocal harmonies via Sampling back then but you still couldn't cheat vocally. You had too sing your butt off or go home.

@@gsmusic2009 yeah backing tracks were a thing but no auto-pilot, it's like how in Olympic sprinting they started with just barefoot on dirt with rope dividers, then they made clear lanes and synthetic tracks and they introduced starting blocks and now they have staggered lanes and pacing lights and amazing shoes and tracks. These guys are singing with at most the help of backing track and basic sampling and actually they have access to a lot of effects, similar to how a sprinter in the 80's had synthetic tracks and clear lanes and lots of shoes, but to them they are the same thinking like how did those guys before do it barefoot running on dirt, lol the guys these guys look up to guys... they at most had an amplifier or multi track recorder and made amazing beautiful harmonies, The Beatles had no effects processors, no synth, no wah wah, I think they were around before synthesizers and pitchshifters and phaseshifters, they were around when Moog started, when they started at most they had a two transistor tonebender that was there fuzz the only effect they had when they started, high end top tier stuff of the time... they had nowhere close to the amount of stuff yet put out literally the most known songs ever and seem to understand music way more than most people it's like diminishing returns or something

@@greatbingus I know what you mean I was in a singing group the eighties and I recorded with Tony Sparks in Berkeley Ca. And he had Performer DAW one of the first had like 8 sudio tracks and 256 midi tracks and we would record the background vocals and he would stack them via sampling too get that style of R&B vocals that Kashif taught everybody too do with the Backs which is now today a afterthought cause its called comping vocals lol. Technology has come a long way

Absolutely 👍 😅

Philip Bailey aint never underrated he came from Earth Wind & Fire, baby!! He's been fire his whole life!!💖🏆💯🎵 🌍🌀🔥👈🏾

Philip Bailey has NEVER been underrated! His falsetto is legend in Earth, Wind, & Fire.

People say that about Billy Ocean too. But have you ever actually heard anyone say Billy Ocean can't sing?

Reasons

@@Zeldarw104 Oh I totally agree with you! Gives me CHILLS how good!!!

Kevin Pritchard Nice! Me too, I was already a fan of PB and EWF. Saw them in the studio and heard Phillip sing right thru a double sound door!!🎶

It should never ever have been a big deal...we are all equal whatever background, colour, social status, rich,poor, common, we are all human we were all born equal 😊

Song is dope as hell even in 2019

I like these guys, but the first b&w duet in the 80s if memory serves me correct were Paul McCartney and Stevie wonder Keith "ebony and ivory" and then Michael Jackson with Paul McCartney with say say say. I honestly don't care about the color if the music is good!

This beat simply Rocks.!! Both very talented artist , makes me go back to my middle school days.

Im with you!!

70s-90s seemed like the best and I wasn’t even alive then.

When I was living in the 80s, I could not believe how good the music was. I did not think it could get any better….and I was right. Music was best in the 80s. In the 80s, we just called it music….not 80s music!!!

Im here alot

@@EduardoSalamanca1960 get u a lil 50s and 60s in there..then youll be well rounded...70s and 80s was the best though

Their voices are a real match

yess

100% agree

Well you typed more or less what I was gonna say. They definitely compliment each other and sounds great

So good!

and had actual talent

Now every singer has to look like a disturbed creature from a fairy tale

Philip Bailey looked great?

I forget who said it but someone was like "Music was better when they let ugly people make it." Not saying these dudes are ugly but the point is looks are even more important than talent these days and the art suffers greatly because of it

@@yaboyj2191 better than you, my dear friend

@@mondemysterieux7041 I LOVE Carpenters! I was (very briefly) a voice major in college, and wanted to someday sing with Karen. Told my voice instructor that she was my favorite singer, but he insisted on teaching me only opera and art song. After six weeks I broke down crying and changed my major.

@@mondemysterieux7041 Would I have heard you on some particular songs? Where?

Yes their voices complement each other perfectly

I loved this ever since I heard it for the first time, way back in 1985... and still love it! The song is just perfect! Plus no other song gives you so much energy straight away and make you feel good.

True! That's phil Collins on drums, hes a damn good drummer. I'm a pro drummer myself, I grew up to this stuff as a kid in the 80s'. I'm a metal head but I like all kinds of rock.

@@metalmacabre9991 pink floyd👊❤👍🏻

!!!!!

The Bass guitarist is Nathan East.

no....you would be considered justin beibes or taylor crapface, cause nobody can write and play, & play original instruments like they used to, guess taylor plays piano....whoop-dee-do, so things "have" to sound so different and poppy with new sounds & try 2 evolve, but it doesn't need too, and it sucks....and your kinda hot...

I think there used to be more spontaneity to making good music in the '80s : ) whereas today everything just seems over-manufactured : (

Just saying the same thing to my wife the 80s were sooooooo diverse music was crossing over all over the place there was no white music or black music.What happened?????

Sydney O'Bier the 90s where cool like that you saw alot of,great team ups in music😎

Hi 62, 58 here. Wasn't it just so nice back then in the 70's & 80's. The music was so upbeat & personal. You could relate to every song. Dance to them all night. Concert prices were like going to a movie matinee. We could literally go to dozens of concerts per year, forget about everything for a night. Now concerts are like a down payment on a new car. I had so much fun back then, so many memories. Wouldn't trade it for the world. God bless. 58, Nashville, Tn.
