Phil Collins with Genesis. Caryl's audition was unsuccessful; bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford thought he was not a good fit for the group (they selected Steve Hackett in January 1971 as their new lead guitarist, following a stint with Mick Barnard). From 1970 to 1975, Collins played drums and percussion, and sang (largely backing) vocals on Genesis albums and in their live shows. His first album recorded with the band, "Nursery Cryme", was recorded and released in 1971. "For Absent Friends", an acoustic track written by Collins and Hackett, is the first Genesis song with Collins on lead vocals. He sang "More Fool Me"
Paul Shaffer and the World's Most Dangerous Band keyboardist, with drummer Fig taking on the role of bandleader. However, this was before Bearden was named the bandleader on George Lopez's ill-fated TBS talk show, "Lopez Tonight".

Phil Collins played drums with Steve Jordan in the band when he was a guest on the Letterman show on March 26, 1985. Drummer Shawn Pelton of the "Saturday Night Live"
