Just Rock n Roll To Me: #1 Single 1/13/90: Another Day In Paradise- Phil Collins

“Another Day in Paradise” is a song by Phil Collins released as the first single from his number-one album But Seriously (1989). As with his song from Genesis, “Man on the Corner” “Another Day in Paradise” was written to bring attention to the problem of homelessness; as such, the song was a substantial departure from the dance-pop music of his previous album, No Jacket Required (1985). The song was a number-one hit worldwide, and the most successful song of his solo career. It eventually won Collins and producer Hugh Padgham the 1991 Grammy Award for Record of the Year. The song also won Best British Single at the 1990 Brit Awards. In the US, it was the final number one single of the 1980s on the Billboard Hot 100, and the first number one single of the 1990s.

Collins’ version was listed at #86 on Billboard’s Greatest Songs of all time.
