Hello, I Must Be Going! by Phil Collins

Hello, I Must Be Going!, Phil Collins' second solo album, arrived on 5 November 1982, on Virgin in Britain and Atlantic in North America, and it borrows its title from a Marx Brothers song. With Genesis on a break since late 1981, Collins went straight back to work on a follow-up to Face Value, producing it himself.

"I Don't Care Anymore" is the dark heart of the thing, pounding drums under a vocal that seethes and spits, good enough to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male. At the other end sits his bright, bouncy cover of the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love", which went to No. 1 in Britain. The album didn't catch fire quite like Face Value, but it still reached No. 2 at home and No. 8 in America, threw off eight singles and sent Collins out on his first solo tour.
