No Jacket Required
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Album infobox No Jacket Required is an album by Phil Collins, released in 1985 (1985 in music). This is his third solo record.
No Jacket Required, a much more commercially pop-oriented record than the dark cynicism of his two previous albums, Face Value and Hello, I Must Be Going! with none of the political statements which would appear in the forthcoming ...But Seriously, won Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 1986. In terms of emotion, it is certainly among the happiest of Phil Collins' efforts. As a result, much of the album is up-tempo. Some notable exceptions are "Long, Long Way To Go" and the mega selling ballad "One More Night".
There are two guest appearances on the album, firstly Sting on "Long Long Way To Go" and Collins' ex-Genesis bandmate Peter Gabriel (And Sting)on "Take Me Home".
No Jacket Required featured two American number one songs, "Sussudio" and "One More Night". It also contained the top 10 hits "Don't Lose My Number" (#4) and "Take Me Home" (#7). Released around the same time of the album but not part of No Jacket Required was another American number one, "Separate Lives", which appeared on the soundtrack to White Nights.
No Jacket Required remains Phil Collins highest selling album, having been certified Diamond for US sales of over 10 million copies. Twenty years after its release, No Jacket Required remains among the 50 highest selling albums in the United States.
