Against All Odds (Phil Collins Cover)



Today down here in Jimmy’s Basement Studio I had a request for a great song by Phil Collins (Against All Odds) Love this song!!!
Give this one a listen 🎶 Gonna give it a shot for you 🎸🎤

*** Chords Used (Dm7 G) Am Bm C F Em***

I have played this song a bunch over the years. Back in 2020, I posted a video when I first started setting up Jimmy’s Basement Studio…I will attach a link to this video if you want to check it out!!!😎
See if I have improved at all !!! 🎸🎙️🎶

Director Taylor Hackford asked Collins to write a song for the film Against All Odds, so Collins went back to a song that didn’t make it onto his Face Value album called “How Can You Sit There” and adapted it to fit the movie.

Collins recalled to Mojo in 2015: “Against All Odds was written in the same misery that the rest of Face Value came from, but I wasn’t drawn to it initially. I didn’t like it as much as ‘You Know What I Mean,’ and I thought there was only room for one of those on the album. I don’t know what would have happened to it if Taylor Hackford hadn’t got in touch.”
This was the first of seven US solo #1 hits for Collins, all of which charted in the ’80s. He was still charting hits with Genesis during this time as well, including the #1 “Invisible Touch” in 1986.

This won Collins the 1984 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance.

I hope you enjoy my Acoustic Version 🎤 🎸 🎶 😎 🎼 🎥 🎬
