In the ’80s, Phil Collins and his legendary rock band Genesis climbed the charts and toured around the world as one of the biggest bands of the time — and laid the groundwork for Collins’ future success as a solo artist. If there was one thing Collins’s loved during this period, it was creating a sound rich with horns to accompany his melodies and vibrant percussion. To achieve this, he brought on board the Phenix Horns — the brass section of Earth, Wind & Fire, whom he’d previously invited to work on the Genesis hit, “No Reply at All.” It was a collaboration that would deepen when Collins invited the Horns to play on more of his solo work. Collins would release his debut solo album “Face Value” in 1981, taking the songwriting drummer to new heights.

However, many years later, in 2000, Collins would file a lawsuit against Louis Satterfield and Rahmlee Davis (two members from the Phenix Horns) for receiving too many royalties from the music they worked on. According to MTV, Collins claimed they were paid royalties on 15 tracks from the 1990 album, “Serious Hits … Live!,” when they should have only been getting paid for five tracks. Collins would end up taking Satterfield and Davis to London’s High Court and suing the two for over $400,000 in royalties.
