 In the early 1970s he hosted a series of teen pop music shows, "Happening '71" and "Happening '72".
 In July 1972 Phillips won a song prize at the Fifth Olympiad of Song, held in Athens, performing his self-written work, "Gloria"; the prize money was 100,000 drachmae (AUD $2,797).
 Although he issued further singles, until the early 1980s, he had no other national Top 40 chart success.

Cats is a 1998 direct-to-video musical film of the long-running West End production of "Cats", Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical based on "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" by T. S. Eliot.
 Lloyd Webber himself personally oversaw orchestration for the film and called on Gillian Lynne, the original show's choreographer, to personally train the cast for the film.
 Trevor Nunn, the original director, did not serve as the director of this production.
 Andrew Lloyd Webber and others on the production team for the film wanted to keep the feeling that viewers watching the film could still get the sense of seeing the show live, by having all views be facing the stage, therefore, getting multiple views of the set, but still feel like the viewer is part of a live audience, with several close-ups.
 Initially released to VHS and subsequently DVD and Blu-ray, the film has since been shown on television channels including PBS, the BBC, and Ovation TV.
 It was filmed at the Adelphi Theatre in London.
