Easy Lover - Phil Collins & Philip Bailey - MP3 instrumental karaoke

On "Easy Lover," Phil Collins and Earth Wind & Fire's Philip Bailey draw you into their powerful balladry from the off, with heavy thudding drums sounding the alarm for a match made in '80s pop heaven. With Phil Bailey squeezing his voice into eye-watering falsetto for the first verse ("She's the kind of girl you dream of / Dream of keeping hold of / You'd better forget it / You'll never get it,"), the dynamic duo come together for the catchy chorus: "Easy lover / She'll get a hold on you believe it / Like no other / Before you know it you'll be on your knees / She's an easy lover / She'll take your heart but you won't feel it / She's like no other / And I'm just trying to make you see." 1984's "Easy Lover" was featured on Philip Bailey's solo album, Chinese Wall (1984) and appeared on his 1990 album, Serious Hits... Live!, as well as his 1998 compilation album, ...Hits, but the song was a standalone megahit in its own right, reaching Number 1 in the UK and Number 2 in the US and receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals in 1986.
