Happy 73rd birthday, Phil Collins!
We celebrate the singer-songwriter's (and actor) birthday by sharing some of his most iconic hits.
Philip (Phil) David Charles Collins was the drummer and, eventually, lead singer of the rock band Genesis.
Collins left Genesis in 1996 to focus on solo work, including writing and performing 'Two Worlds', 'Son of Man', 'Strangers Like Me' and 'You'll Be in My Heart' for Disney's animated film Tarzan (1999).
He had three UK number-one singles, seven US number-one singles and an Academy Award for "You'll Be in My Heart".
Collins, who was a child actor nicknamed 'Little Elvis', has five children of his own.
Today, Collins celebrates 73 years of life on Earth and we celebrate with some of his greatest hits.
