Phil Collins is 73 today!

In 1970 Collins answered a newspaper ad for a band named Genesis who needed a drummer and backup vocalist. However, Collins more notably made a name for himself after replacing Peter Gabriel as the face of the band in 1975.

Collins experienced much commercial success with Genesis. In 1978 they released And Then There Were Three. The album went gold and secured the group its first American radio hit, "Follow You Follow Me."

Collins branched out to experience solo success in 1981 when he released his first solo record, Face Value. And in 1982 he released his second solo album, Hello, I Must Be Going, which included the popular singles "You Can't Hurry Love" and "I Don't Care Anymore."

In 1984, he created the title song for the film soundtrack to Against All Odds. This No. 1 single scored Collins Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations for Best Original Song.

He continued performing throughout the 80s and 90s and officially announced his retirement from music in 2011. Collins experienced health issues that included spinal problems which hindered his ability to play drums.

Happy Birthday Etta James!

Her gospel-style music and iconic soulful voice have made her quite the household name. Songs such as "I'd Rather Go Blind" and " At Last" made her a Grammy Award winner several times and earned her a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

A talented singer since she was 5 years old, Etta James had her big break in the 1960s when she signed with Chicago's Chess Records. She made such chart-toppers as "All I Could Do Was Cry," "At Last" and "Trust in Me."

She eventually earned her first Grammy nomination in 1973 for her album Etta James. After Chess Records, she signed with Warner Brothers Records where she made such albums as Deep In The Night and Seven Year Itch.

She continued to perform throughout the 90s and early 2000s producing more albums and performing live for her adoring fans. Her final album, The Dreamer, was released in 2011.

She passed away shortly after in 2012 due to the effects of leukemia, hepatitis C, and dementia.

Her music is still appreciated by millions today and her powerful voice has made her a true icon to the music world. Come and enjoy more music from Etta James and more artists of the 60s, 70s, & 80s on Oldies XL!
