Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of No Jacket Required!

Thank you Phil…

This memorable album was released on February 18, 1985.

This is the cover art for the album "No Jacket Required" by Phil Collins.

No Jacket Required was received favorably by the majority of critics and was a huge worldwide commercial success, reaching number one in the UK for five consecutive weeks and for seven non-consecutive weeks in the U.S. It was the second-best-selling album of 1985 in the UK, behind Dire Straits' “Brothers in Arms”. "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Don't Lose My Number", and "Take Me Home" were released as singles with corresponding music videos. All four were top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with "Sussudio" and "One More Night" reaching number one. The album features Helen Terry, Peter Gabriel, and Sting as guest backing vocalists. Some songs, like "Don't Lose My Number" and "Sussudio", were based around improvisation, and others, like "Long Long Way to Go", had a political message.

“Some of my fondest childhood memories were of attending dozens of professional indoor soccer games with my family and friends. …Music, especially that of Genesis, Yes, and other artists that defined the “Big 80s”, created the soundtrack for these times.”
