I'm glad Ray has carried on the Genesis banner. I hope he continues to do so. His You Tube videos of his Genesis songs are all enjoyable. This was a good one too. - Thanks
One thing I agree with.CAS should not have been a"Genesis" album.Mike and Tony should have called it something else.I think it would nave been much more popular,had they changed the name of the band.
Wilson did not force himself into Genesis,Mike&Tony picked him,and for a good reason.Watch some of the live Genesis vids,he does a great job,though he does not have Phil's range,I think it sounds great.Too bad it didn't catch on,a break from PC was nice.CAS is a great album,dark,like it was in the 70s.I've been a die hard fan since '72 or so,seen them 5 times,I was looking foward to a show with Ray,In a very good venue,3rd row center,but it was cancled.Lack of ticket sales,too bad you morons.
I'm a die hard Genesis fan from Peter to Phil but... Calling all Stations is not a Genesis album. It's good album but the Genesis name should not have been used.
Well I have to disagree .. in the end the Genesis sound comes form Banks and Rutherford ...Peter and Phil were always experimenting with others styles and generes ....

Ray Wilson is a great singer....you can't compare him to Phil Collins....and also Phil Collins is no Peter Gabriel either. I'll take Peter Gabriel over anybody...maybe any lead singer in any band, ever.
Quite nice. He had probably his life's greatest adventure being 3rd lead singer of Genesis and he's the part of the legend. He failed because there's only one Phil Collins, just that. CAS was a decent album and gave me one song I love that is Shipwrecked. Respect for Mr. Wilson.

I am only here because I remembered once hearing a live version of this song on the radio sung by Ray Wilson with Genesis. I like it. His voice is so suitable. YMMV.
Yes Wilson is an excellent night-club cabaret artiste.
Many times my wife and I have enjoyed a wonderful meal in a basket at Mad Dogs while watching yer man telling his droll tales and singing a selection of popular classics.
Mad Dogs, now theres a blast from the past, never been in that place since the eighties, glad to hear its still employing musicians who seem to be stuck in the eighties!!
My god, this is shamefull. Without Genesis, he'd have really not been able to play anywhere bigger that McDonalds. Look at this idiot now...my god....
this guy is just a con artist, thinks he can be popular with other people's songs. i can only hope that the people at this performance were told that the REAL genesis would be playing, otherwise why would they come to see this abomination. disgrace
And she followed me Til finally I sold my old guitar And she tried to help me understand That I'd never be a star Rock and roll I give you All the best years of my life All the dreamy sunny Sundays All the magic moon at nights Though I never had the chance of makin' it with you I thank the lord for giving me The little bit I knew And I was always one step behind you
i dont understand why this guy gets slaughtered so much. he's got a great voice, its in a lower key and completely different from phil/peter but its really good on the ears and he sings songs in his own way. no way can he emulate gabriel or collins' voice.
i prefercollins any day, i think he's a total legend, but ray wilson is in no way a bad singer.
This guy is a pub singer, and a pretty boring one at that!. The negative comments on here are most likely from people who have met him or know him...you see this guy believes he is the greatest singer on the planet and that anyone else is lower than him. Ego gone mad. Scottish musicians who take photographs of themselves or sing about America, as though it where their home, are really on the ego trip of the century. Ray could never break America even if he killed the president!
Kept Genesis from moving forward? To what, this shit? That's why they sold so many albums with him? Genesis was fine the way they were, and they're back the way they should be. If it isn't broke then don't fix it. I respect people who prefer the Peter Gabriel era for the progressive rock and music style better, but either lineup with either of those singers was legitimate. Ray Wilson was bullshit, and he is not Genesis. He needs to stop playing their music, it's not his.
As much i love Collins, Ray is much better singer. Not mention he's more charismatic and has even greater sense of humor. I saw his concert last week and it was really great that i can hear some Genesis songs live. Ray is a legitimate member of the band and if he wants to play Genesis songs it's fantastic. After all did you ever hear Gabriel sing Genesis songs ? Since 1997 to 2007 you can heared it only on Steve Hackett and Ray Wilson concerts. And it was great performances.
Ray cant stop playing Genesis stuff though, he is the proverbial whore!He knows its the only way to score gigs because he is very low in talent. He does the same with Stiltskin, its the equivalent to a session musician who keeps reminding people which bands hes has played for in order to score gigs. HARD HELMET ANYONE!. There will come a time though when people will realise the name dropping is all shit, thats when they will actually listen to the shit voice!
objectiveear, I know exactly what you mean and the attitude you refer to.I will let you know where and when the magazine it out, due to the nature of it though, it has to remain annonymous.law suits are rife among these no-bodies, for a wee bit attention!. Ray is an ass, but hes not the worst, there are people in Edinburgh that have not even been in some bands yet give off the assumption that they were and wrote all the songs...N##BY CL##K, BAD CITY ROLLERS, IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT!.
I love this song. Not so many covers of this so that's great to hear it in acoustic !

Same here. I mean, if some hack in a Holiday Inn Lounge can do Genesis covers, why not an actual former member of the band?
It's not like he's up there doing "YMCA" and "Soul Man." He's paying a nice tribute to a band he obviously loves and feels connected to.
This is a great place for viewing, but I must admit that the ocean of ignorance in the world all seems to have washed up on youtube's shore.
Can't believe how many rude and dumb people there are in the world.

Ray Wilson, somehow, got into a top supergroup and turned it into a self-parody.
His own songs reek of stale beer and yesterday's chip packets.
I once saw him shouting at a shop assistant because he wasn't happy with the attention he wasn't getting. He Actually said "Do you know who I am?"
A one-dimensional pub singer.
