March 30, 1985 –
Phil Collins scores his second #1 hit as a solo artist with One More Night on this date. The track was taken from his third album, No Jacket Required.
Being a drummer at heart, it’s not surprising that Collins started this song on a drum machine. He explained to Playboy that he was playing around with the machine when inspiration hit: “I had a tempo in mind. I was thinking of one of the Jacksons’ songs actually when I strung a chorus on it. The line ‘one more night’ just fit what I was playing. The rest of the song was written very quickly.”
