Chinese Wall

Philip Bailey

A high-gloss collision of R&B soul and 80s arena rock. Massive gated drums and soaring falsetto define this pristine, Phil Collins-produced crossover peak.

October 1984 · CBS/Sony

A high-vibrational, polished energy that balances arena-rock confidence with soulful vulnerability.
