Will this be Phil Collin’s last album “Going Back”? Here is a cut with the classic “Heatwave”.

Phil Collins at the age of 60 has called the music business quits. He recently was diagnosed with a condition that limits his ability to play drums. For years Phil’s ability to hear has diminished causing strain during live performances. He says people are sick of his music anyway and he can’t see himself on stage anymore at the MTV music awards.

Phil Collins is one of my favorite musicians simply because of his revolutionary rhythm and unique vocals. Here my Phil list, what’s yours?

Phil Collins Song List:
1. In The Air Tonight
2. I Can’t Dance
3. Home By The Sea
4. You Can’t Hurry Love
5. You’ll Be In My Heart

A year ago, Tunesmate wished a happy 59th birthday to Phil Collins.  Well, that means this year marks the big 6-0 for Phil.  With that in mind, what is your favorite Phil Collins song?  Though there are a lot of them that I really like, my favorite is above.

Starting on February 18, Eric Clapton starts up his live concert machine again. This year kicking off the tour will be the newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Jeff Beck. The second leg of the tour will then feature frontman of the Who Roger Daltrey, while the last leg of the tour features Steve Winwood. Last year Clapton teamed up with Winwood to record a live concert album from Madison Square Garden featuring classics like “Can’t Find My Way Home” and “Forever Man”.

It seems like Clapton is teaming up with other veteran rockers to conjure up a unique concert experience. It’s like he is creating a live mash-up of two of your favorites. Elton John and Billy Joel keep touring together joining forces on stage. Besides Jeff Beck, Roger Daltrey and Steve Winwood, who else would you like to see play an entire show with Eric Clapton? Personally I think Eric Clapton and Phil Collins might be rather interesting.

Happy Birthday to Phil Collins who turns 59 today. On his first solo album he did “In The Air Tonight”, did he ever top this tune? Enjoy this live performance of his most well known hit. Mo Williams from the Cleveland Cavs warms up to this song before every game which makes sense to me.
