1. Phil Collins nearly didn’t take over as singer after Peter Gabriel’s departure. Mick Strickland was brought in as a potential replacement, but he couldn’t comfortably sing in key for the already-recorded backing tracks that would become 1976’s ‘A Trick of the Tail.’

 

2. One of Gabriel’s more memorable on-stage gets ups – a red dress paired with a creepy badger head – was borrowed in part from the wardrobe of his then-wife Jill. The rest of Genesis, prior to its debut at a former boxing arena in Dublin, expressed uncertainty over how the costume would go over. The audience’s shocked reaction, however, convinced them they were doing something right.

 

3. ‘Invisible Touch’ is the only Genesis song to reach No. 1 in the U.S., though it only got to No. 15 in the UK. In fact, Genesis never scored a charttopper on its home charts. ‘Mama’ finished highest, at No. 4. 1991’s ‘No Son of Mine’ went to No. 6 in the UK.

 

4. Genesis was named by its original manager Nathan King, who wanted to mark the beginning of his production career.
