Ganz schön schwierig, Näheres in Erfahrung zu bringen (auch weil es eine ganze Reihe Mercer Awards gibt )
(Übrigens zeigen die Hinweise auf die Preisverleihung an Phil, wie hirnlos Texte im Internet von Publishern kopiert werden, da der Schreibfehler Somkey Robinson in allen Veröffentlichungen auftaucht )

Johnny-Mercer-Songwriter-Award

ABOUT THE AWARD
Goes to a writer or writers already inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and judged by the Nominating Committee as having established a history of outstanding creative works.

Neues in Sachen Motown-Album und Gesundheitszustand:

Earlier this week, Phil Collins was inducted into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" as part of Genesis. Lately, the musician has been having some health problems and told us how he’s feeling.

“Well I’ve got things happening with my hands and stuff, which is a pain. I’ve got another operation on my wrist and elbow on Monday because I can’t even write my name, let alone play drums. But, I mean, I’m quite happy. I’m not morose about not being able to play. That’s all being dealt with and everything else is pretty good.”

So have the issues with his hands been affecting his work? Phil filled us in.

“You know, I mean, I am just finishing this record of covers, Motown covers record, or ‘60s covers record really – mainly Motown. I mean, I was able to play on it, thanks to Pro-Tools and a wonderful engineer. I could do all the keyboard stuff cause you work with computers and things, if the right hand misses a note, then you put it in the way it was supposed to have been (laughs).”

Collins went on to tell us where that covers album stands.

“You know, I mean, I started it for fun, really, and just chose all the Motown songs, the darker songs that I liked, the lesser known ones. And I ended up with about 40 of them and finished, I’ve actually finished about 29 of them.”

There is no word yet on when the record will come out but you can stay up to date with Phil by checking out Genesis-Music.com.

Den selben Gedanken hatte ich gerade im anderen Forum.

Bei 30 Song wird's dann ja sicher ein Doppelalbum werden.

Anscheinend hat Mr. Collins bald wohl wieder eine eigene Website. Hier der Trailer:

Aber da ist doch gar nicht von einer Website die Rede. (nur in der Überschrift)

Stimmt schon, hatte das Falsche verlinkt, aber auf dem Portal, was dann die neue Website werden soll, findet man auch diesen Trailer. So gleicht sich dann eben alles wieder aus.

schöner Trailer.
Bin mal gespannt.
Es kann ja nur besser werden als Testify, da hier endlich wieder richtige Musiker an richtigen Instrumenten die Songs einspielen
