This man is a legend. No matter how old he gets the quality of his music never dies.

[browtf]

All I know is that this Legend made the best Disney soundtrack ever.

I LOVE the gentle rebuke from Collins, "by the end of the program, you'll be good at this"--not the drumming, your interviewing Jimmy

[Oligampla]

Phil Collins forever! Even his talking voice is pure music!

[robf]

"By the time the end of the program comes, you'll be good at this." Burn! 🔥

If I could only have the chance to thank this man for all that he has given me through his music... very few artists make me feel so deeply with their songs as this man, along with Mr. Gabriel have. I’m only 26 yo but Genesis, Phil and Peter are everything to me, musically. Thank you Phil, from the bottom of my heart.

“I only went through a handful of your singles”, you can really tell jimmy is totally qualified to interview Phill Collins

Just saw him last night. One of the best concerts ever and his son was absolutely amazing!

[huulio]

Phil is a legend, always have, will always be. Amazing career, amazing songs for decades.

[Amy]

My dad is a huge fan of Genesis, so Phil is a big part of my childhood. Love him and his music, both Genesis and solo stuff.

[DarkSali]

I love the fact that Jimmy tells a story and afterwards says "That is the best story i have ever heard in my life"

[deaneawilliams]

I totally love this man I can't imagine my life without his music

[flyspith]

Another Day in Paradise is what stands it with this BEAUTIFUL SOUL.. 💋💋
