Leo Sayer also struck gold in R&B with You Make me Feel Like Dancing, so I believe the Phil Collins achievement. :)
1966 and all that

Personally, I don't think even a duet with EW&F's Philip Bailey or a Motown cover could make Phil Collins a star in the African-American community

Yeah, his lone R&B chart placing was no.8 with Sussudio, just a quirk, really. :D

we have a thread here, somewhere with a Billboard article on his impact/sales/stature within the current R&b world

I'm not really asking you to go hunting around for it, but if that's true, I'd find it interesting. I'd also like to see who wrote it.

But, like I wrote, don't bust a nut trying to find it.
