| Spanning 1981-2003, this unique collection highlights timeless ballads, love songs, and laid-back tracks from Phil Collins' award-winning solo catalog. Includes the #1 pop smashes "Groovy Kind Of Love," "One More Night," and the Oscar®-nominated "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)," presented here in a rare live version! Pop icon Phil Collins first rose to major fame as drummer and then lead singer for British prog-rock supergroup Genesis. It was with Collins at the mic that the band rose to arena-act stature. Collins' massive popularity as a solo artist, however, eclipsed even that level of success, as the soft-spoken superstar--who started as a child actor on the London stage--went on to become one of the biggest names in popular music over the next two decades.

However, there are also obscure tunes found here, and these songs make this compilation unique. For example, this two-disc set includes a rehearsal version of Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors," a song Collins often covered in concert during the late 1980s. This R&B-inflected rendition contains a clever vocal arrangement from Amy Keys and Brad Cole that employs rich harmonies, leaving the instrumental accompaniment in the backseat. Another Collins rarity is his live version of the Jerome Kern song "The Way You Look Tonight." Collins's take on this standard avoids being overly sentimental, with Harry Kim's impassioned flugelhorn solo adding a jazzy and sensitive tone. For fans of Collins's softer side, LOVE SONGS is quite a treasure. |
