Links Are Dead - I Know

I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.

So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.

The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.

Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.

Thank you all

Michaael

Philip Bailey - Chinese Wall - Album

Philip Bailey (born May 8, 1951, in Denver, Colorado, America) is an R&B, soul, gospel and funk singer, songwriter, percussionist & actor best known as one of the longtime members of Earth, Wind & Fire.

Bailey's most notable solo song was a duet with Phil Collins called 'Easy Lover' which was included on his Gold solo album Chinese Wall . 'Chinese Wall' was released in 1984 on the Columbia Records label. The album was also produced by Collins.

Easy Lover went to numbers two and one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart while Chinese Wall peaked at number 22 on the Billboard 200 and number 10 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.

Phil Collins, during a radio interview, was asked how "he discovered" Philip Bailey. Annoyed with the interviewer's lack of knowledge, Collins made up a story about how he had been filling his car with gas/petrol when he heard the attendant singing...and that turned out to be Philip Bailey. The interviewer believed the whole story, which was also picked up by other media outlets

Phil Collins and Phil Bailey - Easy Lover


'Easy Lover' is a song written by Philip Bailey, Phil Collins, and Nathan East, and accredited to both singers Bailey and Collins when released as a single.
The song appeared on Bailey's solo album Chinese Wall. Collins has also performed the song in his live shows and it appears on his 1990 album Serious Hits... Live! as well as his 1998 compilation album, ...Hits.

The song was a smash hit in the UK, reaching Number 1 and staying there for four weeks in 1985, and also reaching number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US in 1984.
'Easy Lover' was very successful commercially, selling over a million copies. It has only been certified Gold -- not Platinum -- since the RIAA requirement for a Platinum single wasn't lowered to 1,000,000 units until 1989.

Easy Lover won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Overall Performance in 1985 and was Grammy nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance By A Duo or Group.
The lighthearted video for the song was filmed in London and features Bailey travelling by helicopter to meet Collins in a television studio.
