35: Philip Bailey and Phil Collins, "Easy Lover" | Fletch

In our favorite musical year of 1984, after many years of creating a multitude of hits separately, two musical giants came together at the top of their game to collaborate on one of the best songs of the 80's, "Easy Lover," by Philip Bailey and Phil Collins. We'll delve into the supremely interesting story of how this incredible song came to be. Fun fact: it was used in the original Wrestlemania. Also, you're a Zen-master Beatles fan if you know where the phrase 'four guys of them' comes from. Fletch is a 1985 comedy that we feel very differently about--as did Siskel and Ebert!--thanks to the movie's star, the polarizing and infamous Chevy Chase. Is it hilarious? Is it terrible?
