Phil Collins Sits Down With Johnny Carson and Performs ‘Against All Odds’ and ‘The Roof is Leaking’ Live on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1985

In June of 1985, Phil Collins appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Collins had released his third solo studio album, No Jacket Required, in January of 1985, but on the show, he performed his hit single ‘Against All Odds (Take A Look at me Now)’ from the 1984 movie, ‘Against All Odds’. The song was a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it was Collins’ first of seven solo number one singles.

Collins then sat down and had a nice chat with Johnny before performing one more song. Rather than singing one of his current number one hits from No Jacket Required (‘Sussudio’ and ‘One More Night’), Collins opted to perform ‘The Roof is Leaking’, one of my favorite songs from his 1981 solo debut album Face Value.

Johnny and audience loved it, and I think you will too. Enjoy!
