Here’s today’s 1985 tune. #3: Take Me Home - Phil Collins Man, the video to this song is terrific. I love him walking into Graceland. And the end? “You’ve been down at the pub, haven’t you!” In the 80s it got to the point where you didn’t know if it was a Genesis song or a Phil Collins song. That’s not really a good thing, but they both sold in the millions. In fact, according to Picky Wedia, Collins is the second-richest drummer in the world, behind Sir Richard Starkey. Sadly, Phil has health issues. If you’ve seen recent photos of him, he looks more like he’s 84 than 74. He had to sit in a chair during the final Genesis shows. But oh the music he’s given us. This is such a gem of a song. And I do remember. Take Me Home Written by Phil Collins Recorded by Phil Collins From No Jacket Required, 1985 I don’t wish upon a star:
