I saw Genesis in concert Saturday night. Phil Collins can't sing like he used to do, but this song was his best vocal of the night. #4 in the UK #5 Mainstream Rock USA #73 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1983 More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mama_(Genesis_song) |

I like this one. One of my favorites from Phil Collins/Genesis.

Apparently this is about someone who falls in love with a prostitute called ‘Mama’ who doesn’t return said affections; that sounds like a David Lynch film. For me this establishes as sinister a mood as In The Air Tonight does. I read they’re embellishing on a high-production light show this tour so I bet this one looked amazing live.

40 years ago this week, "Mama" debuted at #93 on the October 1, 1983 Billboard Hot 100.
