Phil Collins : They were big heroes of mine, especially their drummer, who I copied all the time - I even bought a jacket like his. I got to play drums for them a couple of years ago at the 100 Club, and although the edge had gone and it was nostalgia, for me it was like playing with The Beatles.

It was through them that I discovered Motown and Stax. I would go and see them at The Marquee all the time. Roger [Daltrey of The Who] gave me a coffee-table book about the 60s mod scene and there are shots of gigs at The Marquee I know I was at.
