Phil Collins – The Artist

Philip David Charles Collins (born 1951) is an English drummer, singer-songwriter, record producer, and actor. He is best known as the drummer/singer of the rock band Genesis from 1970 to 1996 and for his solo career which began in 1981. Between 1982 and 1990, Collins scored three UK and seven US number-one singles as a solo artist. When his work with Genesis, his work with other artists, as well as his solo career is totalled, he had more top 40 singles than any other artist during the 1980s. His most successful singles from the period include “In the Air Tonight”, “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)”, “Sussudio”, and “Another Day in Paradise”.

You Can’t Hurry Love – The Song

“You Can’t Hurry Love” is a 1966 song originally recorded by The Supremes on the Motown label. Written and produced by Motown production team Holland–Dozier–Holland, the song topped the charts in both the UK and the US. Sixteen years later, it would become a number-one hit in the UK when Phil Collins re-recorded the song. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in 1983. The song, a memory of a mother’s words of encouragement (“My mama said ‘you can’t hurry love/No you just have to wait’ “) telling her daughter that with patience she will find that special someone one day, is an example of the strong influence of gospel music present in much of R&B and soul music.

The Alarm Clock – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a vintage bedside alarm clock. The traditional alarm clock with its distinctive two alarm bells on top of the circular body is a typical bedside alarm clock that was used in the period that this song was released.
