thread_title:  she'll get a hold on you 

message: I don't get it.  What was the interviewer expected to know that he or she didn't know?  In other words, what was Collins annoyed at?  This is not clear IMO.  --Nidorino (talk) 18:13, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What's probably being insinuated is that Collins was annoyed that the radio interviewer didn't know that Bailey was a vocalist in the band Earth, Wind & Fire, which I could understand, since Bailey's voice is easily recognizable in any of their truly big songs. However, it is still unsourced, so it may be bunk anyway. CarpetCrawler (talk) 06:11, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Very fishy. A nameless interviewer of an unknown radio station who is so stooopid. And the media in general being so stooopid. Thats the typical pattern of urban legends. I only found exact copies of this text in the internet and nothing else to confirm it. That is where the story started. I think I better remove it. -- Harro (talk) 11:26, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Discovery of Bailey? 

message: I'm just a guest, but I want to suggest a change. The song from Double Dragon II is clearly inspired by Easy Lover, but it is wrong to call it an "instrumental rendition." They have similar backbeats and bass lines, but the main tune is different. They are different songs. 98.197.198.167 (talk) 04:56, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Double Dragon II 

message: Hey, I'm just a guest and I don't know if this is worth adding to the article, but the instrumental was used in a Danish TV comedy series about a biker gang. Here is a youtube clip of the intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMZYk0PNn4Q
Name of the series was "Svinene" (The Pigs).

message: Hello All!
Is my memory playing games or the first performance was not by Bailey & Collins?
I remember vividly that the song was FIRST released by a guy performing solo BEFORE the well known Bailey & Collins version.
Can anyone corroborate on this?  If someone knows for sure that I am talking nonsense please feel free to erase the entire section.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.138.192.51 (talk) 19:16, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

text: Oppose -  No evidence of primary topic, especially as the Ellie Goulding song dominated pageviews every month except last. estar8806 (talk) ★ 20:50, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Estar8806 The Phil Collins song was moved from Easy Lover to Easy Lover (Philip Bailey and Phil Collins song) on 12 August 2023 , so you need to, as far as I know, include the previous name as well and just mentally join the two lines: . It appears that the Baily/Collins song has been averaging ~8,000 views/month while the Goulding song is settling down to about 1,000 views/month (after starting higher when it was released).
