With time to spare before recording a new Genesis album, Collins played on the Brand X album "Product" and its accompanying tour, played on John Martyn's album "Grace and Danger", and started writing his first solo album, "Face Value", at
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"
