They did. Collins produced Bailey's solo album Chinese Wall (which includes "Easy Lover"). Collins played also drums on that album and the backing band consisted of Earth Wind and Fire (Phenix Horns) and Genesis/Collins live and studio (Daryl Stuermer) musicians.

@@landischorsch Whoa. I was a kid when this came out and my dad was a big EW&F and blasted anything with Philip Bailey on it

@@theblackpearlofbraavos Wow really. I come from the other side: I've been a Phil Collins fan since I was 11 years old, so this wonderful piece of music reached my radar very soon after. Sometime later, I learned to know Philip Bailey's album Chinese Wall and I thought it was a wonderful American/British collaboration. When I learned to love 1970s and 1980s soul/funk/R&B in my late teen years, EW&F came automatically across my ears and since the recent years I've thought All 'N All is my favorite EW&F album.

@@landischorsch that is way cool. Phil Collins and Genesis got play in my house growing up. Lots of funk and R&B, of course. There was all kinds of music playing in my house and feel pretty fortunate to have been exposed to so many different sounds.

Yeah baby so are you

Period every damn thang!! ❤❤❤ still love him!!

Easy Lover, Another Day In Paradise, Sussudio, and the track my parents had on repeat in the 80s...Invisible Touch! Great times. I need a time machine.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍

Ohhh yesssss ❤️❤️❤️

@@EtoTheKayI would need one too 😢

He definitely is!!!

With a voice like his, can you really blame us for that?

As a former drummer/guitarist I approve of this message! #timelessmusic

he plays piano too

It's funny because I remember him more as a drummer than as a singer 😅

I thought Phil Collins stopped touring due to health issues.

I never knew that's where Phillip came from!

今もコンサートで大観衆の前で歌ってるなんて最高ですね！本当にタフなアーティスト

​@@andysozio8556not even close. He on a full tour his health hasn't been better. Don't believe those photos showing him old a decrepit in a wheel chair. He lost some feeling in one arm so he can only drum half the show.

Wow!

Philip Bailey asked Collins to sing one ballad on his album. Colin ended up producing the whole album + sang that song with baily. Really a awesome feature Colins is such wide range talanted in terms of music, its insane

@@MrRennschnitzel Wow! Thanks for the story behind the song. Phil is a great multi-talent indeed!

Happy and joyful. Damn.

I read that Phil Collins was going to produce this song sung by Philip Bailey but that when it came time to record the song Phil Collins had one idea on how the song should sound while Philip Bailey on the other hand had another completely different idea on how the song should sound. So Phil Collins said screw it and let's just do this song together. And that's how we ended up with this great duet.

should be Phil Collins' genius

Haha shyt

Best era

False deluded comment.

I am. Love love this song❤

Me also, March 2024

I seriously can't keep myself from hearing the voice of 3-CPO while reading this comment.

If the music is good, doesn't matter what year you listen to it !

So great ant thanks just go and rock it's ok yea yea yea .............

Hello 👋🏼 Charla M Roper

@Phil Collins Thank you for the kind message! Hope you are doing good and holding up as well! Pretty sure you will be back on that stage in no time! Big fan of your music! Soundtrack of my youth! Look forward to hearing your latest work and seeing you rock out on that stage! Remember the Alamo and take care Mr. Collins! 👍

Just simply love it. 💋

Damn sure!!!!!!!!

100% truth

This and Hall and Oats out of touch

The should have made an album together! They were brilliant together

Does anyone know what does Phil say in the 0:00 - 0:10 part? It's a little bit difficult to understand British English 😅

@@marcocastro8244 he says this is a video about a video of people making a video. So there is a little bit more going on the usual promo video. Or words to that effect. He also said summat about Phillip looking really fit.

Then should we call them the ELEMENTALS?

👍

she not others.... before you know yer knees

He said in an interview that he used practice singing like a woman that's how is voice get like that

@@jamesbondero5691 he actually said that he was mimicking the female singers that he loved and didn’t even know it was considered to be falsetto, until a teacher complimented his falsetto voice. But he had to be born with the four octave range he has in order to be able to sing that high. Especially with being able to sing such pure notes and with vibrato like he does when he sings falsetto. His voice is just gorgeous.

@@susancurrie2627 wow ,some hellava insight on the concept of singing high notes octaves etc ... From you , great information 👍

I’m 71, don’t live in the past but have great memories of the Eighties!

Their voices are a real match

yess

100% agree

Well you typed more or less what I was gonna say. They definitely compliment each other and sounds great

So true!

It's what make thins song amazing.

@@mondemysterieux7041 I LOVE Carpenters! I was (very briefly) a voice major in college, and wanted to someday sing with Karen. Told my voice instructor that she was my favorite singer, but he insisted on teaching me only opera and art song. After six weeks I broke down crying and changed my major.

@@mondemysterieux7041 Would I have heard you on some particular songs? Where?

Yes their voices complement each other perfectly

Shocked?

He's one of the greatest drummers of the last 50+ years. At one point, he was the lead singer and drummer of Genesis, he was also the drummer of the jazz fusion prog band Brand X, and he was working on his first solo album in which he played ALL the instruments, all at the same time. He invented the gated reverb drum sound on Peter Gabriel's Melt album on the song Intruder, which he then also used on his own mega hit In the Air Tonight, Genesis' Mama etc. In the 80s He PRODUCED and played drums in between Genesis and his solo albums and tours for Eric Clapton, the Abba singer Frida, Robert Plant, this one for Philip Bailey of course, and many other artists. He played in the Secret Policeman's Ball concerts, the Princes Trusts Concerts, at Live Aid in 85 where he played in England and the US on the same day, playing drums and singing with multiple artists (Sting, Led Zep, his solo sets). He played in multiple Knebworths. He was the most dominant, busy and successful artist of the 80s for sure, he was all over the place, movie soundtracks (Against All Odds), later the Disney films. Truly a nonstop workaholic.

@@kbrewski1 ...and, he is left-handed and plays a left-handed kit.

@ShikataGaNai100 True. Which is why his long time drum mate Chester Thompson is always on his right, and Chester is a righty.

He also learned to play drums while on set as a child actor. He found that taller boys would get the lead parts, leaving him with sidekick parts, he wanted more and playing the drums got him the stage he dreamed of

agreed 1000% !!!!

bleep77 troubles? look at the shit now :(... fuck i miss the 80s

bleep77 i g8that we need more hit song2to follow

I was there

damn straight I was born in 81, grew up in one of the best carefree generations of the 20th century. MTV's golden age, Saturday morning cartoons, and Nintendo that was my childhood

Phil Collins put them together ! Earth, Wind & Fire played the Horns & Saxaphone on the GENISIS ( Abacab Album song "No Reply at All" ) Phillip Bailey was the LEAD Singer for Earth, Wind & Fire. That is how they met eachother !

Hi 62, 58 here. Wasn't it just so nice back then in the 70's & 80's. The music was so upbeat & personal. You could relate to every song. Dance to them all night. Concert prices were like going to a movie matinee. We could literally go to dozens of concerts per year, forget about everything for a night. Now concerts are like a down payment on a new car. I had so much fun back then, so many memories. Wouldn't trade it for the world. God bless. 58, Nashville, Tn.

@JeffreyHill-zv5xd I guess your comment depends solely on what you listened to

Yes, I’m 38 years old and I’m listening to Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey Easy Lover 1st day of May 2024 2:59

I loved it and i'm still loving this song. So long time. I was able to drive with two instead three wheels. And i loved "sade - Smooth operator" I think it had been the same time? So long ago and i'm still loving this songs of my youngest age.

@@derekb.9177 every once in awhile I go down the “80s rabbit hole” and binge listen to everything from that fantastic era of music. I was born in 1982 so these were also the songs of my youth. Tears for Fears, Toto, Genesis, Taking Heads, Sade and Simply Red are all required listening.

@@literallyshaking8019 yes "Simply Red and Pat Benetar - Love is a battlefield" are also very old but for endless time and never get boring like Stock/Aitken/Waterman. But you had been very young when this music came out.

With a tot or two of whiskey this is good stuff ........

I think it's wonderful when a white man and black man work together as team

Hahahahah yes

LOL.Uncanny.

He also reminds me of a grown up prince george

Walking on the Chinese Wall by Phillip Bailey

Pure art.

Lies again? El Tornado

It isn't

@@bikermice stupid

💯

True... Im into jazz,uk garage,drum and bass,hiphop,tri-hop,pop so many others Music is ECLECTIC

We definitely don't. 80's music was immensely memorable.

You get it every time you listen to this sort of art

I loved this ever since I heard it for the first time, way back in 1985... and still love it! The song is just perfect! Plus no other song gives you so much energy straight away and make you feel good.

True! That's phil Collins on drums, hes a damn good drummer. I'm a pro drummer myself, I grew up to this stuff as a kid in the 80s'. I'm a metal head but I like all kinds of rock.

@@metalmacabre9991 pink floyd👊❤👍🏻

!!!!!

The Bass guitarist is Nathan East.

They kinda did

Seeing as Collins Produced the album, played drums and contributed backing vocals I kinda think they did. Its called Chinese Wall.

Amazing collaboration! This is fantastic as good as the collaboration of Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson. I believe the first half of 80's is the most imaginative age of Phil Collins.

Chinese Wall

Walking on the Chinese Wall was the other single from it to chart in the UK. Phil had his third solo album No Jacket Required out at roughly the same time.

A match made in heaven

Very good

Phil Collins produced his whole album, had his own career and was still with Genesis that time

@@immanuelcunt5488 Yeah he really was a busy musician and genius. 👍😎🤘

It's lucky + mind blowing enough that we even got this song; the two of them together. Both being in bands at the time. Them just ending up doing one song together 🤯...get what u mean though.

As a metalhead myself, I love this song!

Kevin Pritchard Nice! Me too, I was already a fan of PB and EWF. Saw them in the studio and heard Phillip sing right thru a double sound door!!🎶

It should never ever have been a big deal...we are all equal whatever background, colour, social status, rich,poor, common, we are all human we were all born equal 😊

Song is dope as hell even in 2019

I like these guys, but the first b&w duet in the 80s if memory serves me correct were Paul McCartney and Stevie wonder Keith "ebony and ivory" and then Michael Jackson with Paul McCartney with say say say. I honestly don't care about the color if the music is good!

This beat simply Rocks.!! Both very talented artist , makes me go back to my middle school days.

Same here dude
