In the late 1970s, Phil Collins was going through a personal hell.
His first wife, Andrea Bertorelli, left him and took their children with her, leaving him completely devastated. At the time, he was the drummer and lead singer of Genesis, but his pain drove him to write his own songs, almost like desperate messages addressed to her, in the hope of winning her back.
Collins took one of those songs, “In the Air Tonight,” to his Genesis bandmates, but they rejected it, deeming it too simple. Determined not to let it go to waste, he recorded it himself using a newly purchased Roland drum machine, unaware that that raw sound would become his signature.
In 1981, he released “Face Value,” his debut solo album, with that very song as the lead single. The album was an instant hit, reaching number one in the United Kingdom, and transformed Collins from a progressive rock drummer into one of the most recognizable voices in 1980s pop rock.

Jim Harbaugh reveals his dad gave him a phrase at 6 years old that he still lives by and uses today to stay grateful in times of adversity
“Things that I thought maybe I figured out for myself, I later realized were just things that they had told me earlier that I didn’t quite hear well enough at the time.”
“Attack each day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. I first heard that when I was six years old. My dad’s dropping myself and my brother John off at school. ‘Okay boys, grab your lunch boxes and attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Can’t take any wooden nickels. Okay, get going.’”
“‘Dad, where’s the car?’ ‘No car today, boys. We’re walking. Grab a basketball. Get 100 with the right, 100 with the left.’ ‘Who’s got it better than us?’ ... ‘Nobody, Dad. Nobody.’”
“Playing catch with us and believing in us, those are the things that stick with me the most.”
