Chinese Wall

Chinese Wall / Philip Bailey (1984)




I did't know that Ralph Johnson participated in the song writing of "Go" in this album.
Also The Phenix Horns were in with horns and backvocal.

Produced by Phil Collins featuring smash hit "Easy Lover"
The lineup of this album is various.
Slow ballade pulled out the charm of a beautiful falsetto of Philip Bailey fully,
and up-tempo musical pieces  made us funky!

Maximum hit album of Philip got the 2nd place at Billboard Hot 100.
And also got the gold record by RIAA in March in 1985.


How about you to take this  CD out of shelf and listen it after a long time?

No Jacket Required

No Jacket Required / Phil Collins (1990)



The 3rd solo album of Phil Collins.
This album recorded a sales of about 1 in England and America.
It was sold record originally in 1985, 1 number were added and it's sold by a CD!

Like the previous 2 works, The Phenix Horns Participated!

It was an album like the treasure chest with super hits such as
" One More Night"," Sussudio"," Don't Lose My Number", "Take Me Home " .

By the way, No Jacket Required is the title.
I heard that this title seems to have such episode.
When he had gone out to a luxury restaurant by casual clothes, it was declined for reason of the regulation linchpin jacket wear .
He got angry.
I don't think the correspondence at the restaurant was wrong.

1. Sussudio
2. Only You Know And I Know
3. Long Long Way To Go
4. I Don't Wanna Know
5. One More Night
6. Don't Lose My Number

9. Inside Out
10. Take Me Home
11. We Said Hello Goodbye

Tender Togetherness

★ Tender Togetherness / Stanley Turrentine (1981)



When I checked the leaflet in this album, I nearly mistook and thought this was album of Earth,Wind&Fire!

The tenor sax player Stanley Turrentine was called the most expensive jazz musician with the highest guarantee after super hits of "Sugar"and"Cherry "

Many members of EWF paticipated in his album " Tender Togetherness".
This is really exciting album with full funk under the producion of Larry Dunn!
Let me intoduce the pesonals in this album as below.
Don't you think it's essense item that EWF fan must have?

Philip Bailey participated with back vocal and percussion in "Only You and Me".
This song futured lead vocal of Diann Reeves,
But if possible ,I wanted to listen with the lead vocal of Philip!
But if it was so, this sound like an album of EWF perfectly.

Famous tune "After the Love Is Gone " of Earth,Wind&Fire also recorded in this!.
The touch of tune is little different from the original , and it may be fun.
