#OnThisDay in 1996, Phil Collins released his sixth solo studio album, "Dance Into The Light". Inspired by Youssou N'Dour, Bob Dylan, African music and the burgeoning Britpop scene of the time, Phil found himself writing guitar-driven songs that were more uptempo and rhythm-based. Unlike the previous album, “Both Sides”, where Phil had handled all aspects of it’s creation, “Dance Into The Light” saw Phil enlist a variety of his long-time collaborators and touring musicians, including Ronnie Cary
