Tell Me Why (Genesis Song)
"Tell Me Why" is a rock song by Genesis. It first appeared as the seventh track on their 14th studio album, ''We Can't Dance'' (1991), and was issued as a single in Europe in 1992 and in the United Kingdom on 8 February 1993. It was the last Genesis single featuring Phil Collins on vocals before leaving the group in March 1996.
