 It’s Phil Collins Weekend on OFM! Tune in to hear which hit won a Golden Globe, which song was featured in a commercial as a marketing ploy and also to hear the keyword you need to SMS to 36636 (R1.50/SMS) for the R1000 draw.
 
Collins began a career as a child actor while at the Barbara Speake Stage School and won his first major role as the Artful Dodger in the London production of Oliver! He was an extra in Beatles film A Hard Day's Night (1964), as one of the hundreds of screaming teenagers during the TV concert sequence and seen fleetingly in a close-up.
Despite the beginnings of an acting career, Collins continued to gravitate towards music. Collins's first record deal came as drummer for Hickory, who changed their name to Flaming Youth by the time of their sole album, Ark 2 (1969).
 
In 1970, Collins answered a Melody Maker classified ad for "...a drummer sensitive to acoustic music, and 12-string acoustic guitarist". The band's first studio album with Collins as their lead vocalist was 1976's A Trick of the Tail, which reached No. 3 in the UK and charted in the US top 40.
In the 1980s Collins developed as a songwriter and established a parallel career as a solo artist. He left Genesis in 1996 to focus on his solo career fulltime.
 
A Genesis song, which is widely remembered for its music video, is “Land of Confusion”. The video features caricature puppets by the British television show Spitting Image. After Phil Collins saw a caricatured version of himself on the
show, he commissioned the show's creators, Peter Fluck and Roger Law, to create puppets of the entire band, as well as all the characters in the video.
