Paperlate
"Paperlate" is a song from the second of two EPs by the British rock group Genesis. The EP, titled ''3×3'' (for it featured three tracks and the band comprised three musicians), peaked at No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart in mid-1982. The success of the EP led to an appearance on ''Top of the Pops''. In the U.S., "Paperlate" was released as a standard single, backed by "You Might Recall". It was also featured on the U.S. version of the band's ''Three Sides Live'' album, of which all three tracks from the ''3×3'' EP are included on side four.

"Man on the Corner" is a 1981 song by British rock band Genesis, released as a single on 5 March 1982. The song was written and sung by drummer Phil Collins. It peaked at No. 41 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 40 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100. Lyrics The lyrics describe a man who spends his days on a street corner, shouting at passersby.

Near the end of the 1980s, Collins would revisit the theme of homelessness in "Another Day in Paradise". Music Backed by a simple drum machine beat, the song takes a musically dark tone. This song makes a prominent feature of the Roland TR-808 drum machine at the beginning, then switches to a drum set during the bridge while the drum machine continues to run in the background throughout the enti ...

Mama (Genesis Song)
"Mama" is a song by the English rock band Genesis, released as the first single in 1983 from their self-titled album. It is recognisable for its harsh drum machine introduction composed by Mike Rutherford, which leads into minimalist synthesizer lines in a minor tonality and finally Phil Collins' reverb-laden voice. It remains the band's most successful single in the UK, peaking at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart. It also made the top 10 in Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Ireland and the Netherlands. It was less popular in the US, only reaching No. 73 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. A 1992 re-release of the single managed to reach the Top 40 in Germany.

Theme The song's theme involves a young man's longing for a particular sex worker. On the DVD ''The Genesis Songbook'', the band and producer Hugh Padgham revealed that the ins ...

Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
"Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" is a song by the progressive rock band Genesis (band), Genesis. It was released on their 1973 album ''Selling England by the Pound''. The song was originally going to be titled "Disney". The album takes its name from a lyric in the song. Chris Jones of BBC Music wrote that the song "gives the perfect snapshot of what Genesis were about at this point". Recording The song was developed from several brief piano pieces composed by frontman Peter Gabriel, which were later combined with some of Steve Hackett's guitar figures to make up the song. Gabriel contributed English-themed lyrics to "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight", because the music press thought that Genesis were putting too much effort into appealing to the American audiences. He also included some references to Green Shield Stamps in the lyrics. ''Rolling Stone'' wrote that the song was an "epic commentary on contemporary England". The song's ending, which contains a number of 12-string g ...

AllMusic
AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide and AMG) is an American online music database. It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ...
