About this album

No Jacket Required is Phil Collins at his most commercially assured, turning polished pop-rock and funk into one of the defining albums of the mid-1980s. Released in 1985, the record built on the solo momentum Collins had established after Genesis, with concise songs, bright keyboard textures and his unmistakable gated-drum sound giving tracks like Sussudio, One More Night and Take Me Home major crossover force. Its blend of melodic hookcraft and rhythmic punch helped make Collins one of the decade’s biggest stars, while the album’s chart success and Grammy-winning profile cemented its place as a landmark of mainstream pop.
