I'm John Boden from Rock History Music.

Well, with all the hoopla around Genesis, we thought it be appropriate to start our part.

One with super producer David Henschel, of course, produced multiple albums for Genesis.

The Phil Collins years, even though he had been involved with the band before.

Phil was lead singer, the guy who had tried in studio produced some amazing albums and a host of other artist that we're gonna talk about in this series.

But since it's sort of a Genesis Day today, let's talk about his beginnings with that band.

I'd heard that the story that Phil decided to do squawk and then then it turned out so good that he decided to do the rest.

Who decided that Phil was going to do the rest of the album?

Um, it was decided very quickly.

Way you've got to remember that girl's names now, but we have being there.

Two guys come in, which started recording all the backing tracks, which is a real known if you're producing the record.

Actually, you don't do that until it's certainly know what key that got what we got, the vocalist ranges.

Then he changed the key to the songs to see.

But I'm in Genesis never did any, but that's why they had.

A lot of them were always very high filling that Peter was stretching the names because that that's a lot of them were in the wrong keys, actually.

But anyway, we had two guys come in on one guy was really good.

It was just it.

It wasn't his kid couldn't reach the notes.

It's simple as that.

So feels it, you know, I need feel at known.

Phil kept up with Phil socially since nursery rhyme.

We could become really good friends, and I knew he was it to have a go try out that you read a lot about him needing to be persuaded.

He didn't need persuading at all.

He really, really wanted to do it, but he didn't want to put himself to the others.

He didn't want to be seen as being too pushy, but inside he really wanted to do it.

Hey sense.

Well, could that Mr Site perfect people can't realized he had sung a lot a lot on the previous albums on people didn't actually know that wasn't a Peter.

A lot of the time because there is There is a similarity in their voices, actually pretty in those higher ranges on dhe.

So it wasn't difficult for the public to relate to it because it sounded pretty seamless.

And he he obviously understood a little the music because it be in the van for a while on DDE had been performing, didn't it?

Seeing you on stage now, the difficult thing for him was it?

Well, it could be a drummer as well.

That's the difficult thing.

And then, you know, that's why Chester came in.

What was he a reaction with the other guys when it when squawk was when they were sitting down and listening to squawk with him singing?

I mean, were they all really happy?

I mean, really happy and ecstatic Isn't something that goes along with this Nice.

There are very they won't get crazy about stuff.

It'll you know.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think it's working.

And I think I wear this.

I remember listening to the outgoing.

Yeah, this works.

We'll have more of our conversation with great David Henschel.

It was a long interview.

I think I talked to David for an hour and 1/2 so we're going to cover a lot of ground with this.

Some of you have been asking, Why don't you release the entire interview?

One piece, It just doesn't work because they're dropout rate.

A lot of the times is like three minutes, five minutes, and I know some of you say, Well, other people release long form videos.

They do well, I don't like to do it that way.

I like to chop him up.

But here's the good news.

We're going to create a members section for this YouTube channel where, basically, you'll have access to the entire interview.

But that'll cost you money.

Not a lot, because that will be fairly affordable.

But we're also going to start a podcast where you'll be able to hear the entire interviews.

And if you want to support this channel, make sure you buy a T shirt.

Just simple T shirt.

They're good quality.

They have our logo on them.

You get the big logo, the small logo and a lot more different types of T shirts coming up.

As we say in all our videos were hiring students to basically edit our interview.

So we get them to you a lot sooner cause we're way behind right now.
