Philip Bailey & Phil Collins – Easy Lover (Remastered Edit)
Author: Stacey Cook
For stereo playback go to: www.youtube.com © Columbia/CBS 1984/1985 “Easy Lover” is a song written by Philip Bailey, Phil Collins, and Nathan East, and accredited to both singers Bailey and Collins when released as a single. The song appeared on Bailey’s solo album Chinese Wall. Collins has also performed the song in his live shows and it appears on his 1990 album Serious Hits… Live!, as well as his 1998 compilation album, …Hits. The song was a smash hit in the UK, reaching #1 and staying there for four weeks and also reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. However, it was never released as a single in Australia due to the fact that the record companies considered it would be a commercial over-flood of Phil Collins given his then rising popularity in that country. The lighthearted video for the song was filmed in London and features Bailey travelling by helicopter to meet Collins in a television studio. The original clip was also littered with frequent voice over’s frequent dropping in & out of audio volume. This (like many other clips of it’s time) was of particular concern to resident VJ’s wanting to use this classic as part of their repertoire thus with the use of modern technology we were able to provide them with such. The song was used as a theme song to the inaugural WrestleMania in 1985. The song also featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories as part of its soundtrack in the fictional pop radio station, Flash FM. The song was also used in the TV …
