Philip Bailey
b. 8 May 1951, Denver, Colorado, USA. Bailey is a talented soul singer who originally joined Earth, Wind And Fire in 1972 as a co-vocalist and percussionist. By 1983 he had released his first solo effort, CONTINUATION, produced by George Duke. However, more influential was Phil Collins's production of his second album. Collins provided percussion throughout, and also co-wrote the sparkling duet Easy Lover, which topped the UK charts in March 1985 and reached number 2 in the US. Unfortunately his only other UK hit to date has been the follow-up, Walking On The Chinese Wall, while the album of the same name made number 11 in the US.
