Genesis – Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1987

A. Front

“Tonight, Tonight, Tonight” is the second track on the 1986 album Invisible Touch by Genesis. It peaked at number three in the U.S. and number 18 in the UK as the fourth single from the album. The working title was “Monkey, Zulu”.

The single included an edited version of the song (at 4:28) and the first part of “Domino” (“In The Glow of the Night”) as the B-side. This shorter version was used in the later compilation Turn It On Again: The Hits. Some singles that included the full version of the song included the second part of “Domino” (“The Last Domino”) as the B-side. Other releases contained the rare track “Paperlate” and a 12″ remix of “Tonight, Tonight, Tonight”.

The song was performed in concerts in support of Invisible Touch between 1986 and 1988. A shorter version (which segued into “Invisible Touch”) was played on the We Can’t Dance and Turn It On Again tours, albeit transposed down a key to account for the deepening of Phil Collins’ voice over the years.

Genesis – Invisible Touch (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

“Invisible Touch” is the title track of the 1986 Genesis album of the same name. It is the most successful single in the band’s lengthy history and was their first and only #1 single in the United States. It went to number four in Canada, but only reached number 15 in the United Kingdom.

Its B-side is the second part of “Domino”, titled “The Last Domino”. (The album includes both parts of “Domino” combined together.)

“Invisible Touch” came about during a jam for the second part of “Domino,” Rutherford playing a riff while Collins improvised the line “She seems to have an invisible touch”. It was recorded at The Farm in Surrey during 1984, 1985 and 1986.

In the summer of 1986, “Invisible Touch” was succeeded in the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 by the Multi-Grammy nominated “Sledgehammer”, performed by Genesis’ former lead singer, Peter Gabriel.
