Between his solo work, session work, Genesis work, guest vocals on other peoples songs Phil ruled the 80’s. But still considered himself a drummer first. What an amazing talent.

[ryandeffley]

Phil Collins may be the best live singer of all time. It always sounds like it could be a studio recording.

[MsPatriotfront]

Doesn't get more 80s than that! I see the Miami Vice episode in my head.

[KaraMeier-or]

Two of the best musical talents ever. The true sign of God given talent when you’re singing with basically a piano. Phil Collins is just the total package and hardest working musician to grace us.

[robertmccoy]

Branford Marsalis deserves credit here as well. His added flavor to the songs he preformed with them is really beautiful.

[KayjunKing]

Extremely underrated song period!! 2 of my idols

[stevewright]

Phil is the only artist I can think of, who's voice sounds like another instrument playing. Amazing tone..

[zooropaforever]

Amazing talents.
One drummer playing the piano and one bassist playing guitar. Both flawless in front of some 20% of the global population of the time.

[jedrzejsiata]

Two great musicians together on a stage. Also, Branford Marsalis playing on saxophone very nicely.😊

[LadySamanthally]

A piano, saxophone, and electric guitar. I love that it made the song more alluring.

[prathameshbhambure]

Phil Collins is such a massive legend that he performed in London on 13th July and and then flew to US for the performances you see with Eric Clapton.
Phil is a hero! May he get all the strength in the universe!

[torstenretemeier]

Phil is the best live singer all over the world! Hopefully he ever life...

[malcolmmeer]

Yes Campers, this is called pure music talent, a piano and guitar plus 2 voices THATS IT No washing, crappy techno or computerized anything God given talent

[intertubicular]

This song is so beautifully haunting. Loved seeing Sting and Phil doing it live!

[grassrootsflshp]

Two of my 80s heroes in one haunting song? A massive yes PLS!

[commonman]

Two icons performing a great song together at an epic event. Pretty powerful stuff from back in the day.

[jeffsnowden]

Class act. Great song but also check out "Miami Vice Long, long way to go" for a long, lingering gut-wrenching scene. Phil s' unique talents contributed greatly to many episodes of this iconic TV series from the 80s.

[malbourne]

This was done just eight days after my 13th birthday in 1985. These two helped define the sound of the 80's, and they are two of my favorite performers. I remember it featuring in the MIAMI VICE episode "Sons And Lovers" (season 2).

[williamsadoski]

I got goosebumps when Phil performed this song at his concert I went to in 1997! Truly a legendary man and performer!

[michaelelliott]

Branford Marsalis adds a nice touch to this live version. Man what talent on stage.
