Face Value

Face Value / Phil Collins (1981)



British rock star Phil Collins is well known with many hit songs.
"Easy Lover" duet song of he and Philip Bailey also made a big hit!
But I didn't know that he had career of playing an active part as an actor.

This album is his first solo album which should be commemorated after he got out from Genesis.

I think, maybe it was necessary that this made a hit with these sophisticated songs, and his singing ability .

It contains various tune from cool to hot ,sometimes.
In this album, Earth,Wind & fire Horns at that time participated !

Don Myrick/ Tenor Sax
Louis Satterfield/ Trombone
Ramlee Micheal Davis & Micheal Harris/ Trumpets

They joind in 3 songs.
Track 3,6,7,9,11,12

My fovorite number is "Hand in Hand ”.
Instrumental tune that reminds me of Urban Knights of Ramsey Lewis & Maurice White.

Brazillian drums and funky melody got my soul.
Eric Clapton and Alphonso Johnson aiso participated in this album.
