b. 30 January 1951, Chiswick, London,
England. During the 80s and early 90s, this former
child actor established himself as the world's
premier singing drummer. His broad public appeal was
not unlike that bestowed upon the Beatles in their
heyday, and Collins also earned the respect of his
fellow musicians as a technically brilliant drummer.
The appearance of the self-confessional Face Value
in 1981, immediately confirmed Collins as a
songwriter of note, outside of his existence as
vocalist/drummer with the highly successful rock
band Genesis.
