How Has Genesis Changed Over Time

During Phil Collins solo career, he wrote and sung the theme song for the movie Against All Odds (Stambler, 1989). Genesis kept playing music even though they had a lot of struggles and members left. Genesis has a small legacy but people still loved to listen to there music and started after school. Genesis played music that both England and the U.S. loved for the years that they played music together. Before hiring Phil Collins, Genesis was formed at a Charterhouse School when they were fifteen (Freeland, 2004). Tony Banks founded the band with Peter Gabriel and two others at a Charterhouse School in England in 1966. They wrote a few songs with Tony on the piano and Peter playing the flute and singing (Stambler, 1989). After graduation, Genesis started to practice their music and start their band. Genesis rehearsed for a few months in a British cottage in the country before their first concert in 1970 where they used costumes (“Genesis”, 1983).

Jonathan King fostered them and helped Genesis make their name and make their first album which came out in 1969 and they trusted him because he was an alumni of their school. Genesis was called Genesis in England, but in the U.S. they were called revelation. King asked if they should be called Genesis and they thought it was singular. (Stambler, 1989). Genesis signed a contract with Jonathan King who is a British record mogul in 1968 and made their first tape (“Genesis”, 1983). Genesis put one song of theirs on a tape with five other bands (Stambler, 1989). Some of the important members that were part of Genesis were Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Michael Rutherford. Genesis gained popular albums from starting as a rock band, then changing into a pop band(“Genesis”,
