Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. Phil Collins became the lead singer of this group after the departure of another singer who went on to a solo career. Collins did not depart the group for his solo career. Which group did he front?"
...1. Mike and The Mechanics 2. Earth Wind and Fire 3. Journey 4. Genesis Genesis of course. Phil joined Genesis way back in 1970. He became the lead singer after the departure of Peter Gabriel in 1976. The group had met with minimal success in the U.S. Even though the group's first album with Collins fronting called "Trick Of The Tail" made the Top 40, they weren't very well known. In 1980 they released an album called "Duke" and one of the cuts was called "Misunderstanding". Bingo! A hit. They were on their way. The group scored later in the decade with "That's All", and their most successful album "Invisible Touch" which yielded no less than six U.S. Top 40 hits. Collins in the mean time was building a simultaneous solo career starting in 1982 with the release of a remake of The Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love". Then, between 1984 and 1989, he scored seven U.S. Billboard number one hits. Included in these were "Against All Odds", "One More Night", "Sussudio", "Separate Lives", another remake, this time The Mindbenders' "Groovy Kind Of Love", "Two Hearts", and "Another Day In Paradise".
