August 28, 2025No Jacket Required - Phil Collins
We’re turning back the dial to 1985, when Phil Collins ruled the charts with his smash-hit album No Jacket Required. Packed with iconic tracks like “Sussudio” and “One More Night,” this record didn’t just dominate radio, it helped define the sound of an era. We’ll dig into the making of the album, its massive commercial success, and why it still sparks conversation (and maybe a little air-drumming) nearly four decades later.
