  He doesn&apos;t just talk the talk. Since this song, he has supported the homeless through significant donations to build support centers and hospitals for the unhoused, including a $5 million gift for London housing and a $175 million project for a U.S. school/hospital. He also backs specific charities like Centrepoint and directs his touring experience to support local homelessness. Wherever he toured &nbsp;his touring act partners with local homeless charities in each city, raising funds through merchandise sales for the homeless.<br>Unlike the AI generated stupid stories of late, these are real actions from verified news organisations.<br>I like him as a Jazz Rock Fusion Drummer all the way back in &apos;Brand X&apos; and rarely like his solo work, but the man has principles I identify with and has shown time and again he&apos;s a proper human being. Total respect.

  He used to encourage concert goers to bring donations for the homeless during this song in concerts. My mom and I were able to attend a show in Philadelphia, and we took a ball cap full of rolled quarters. When I took the hat up to the stage he stooped down to take it from me, and almost fell off the stage (he wasn’t expecting a ball cap to be heavy). During his break he had his road manager bring me an autographed photo as a thanks.

  You are very wise for your age. Open minded and aware of the injustice in this world. Don&apos;t change!

  I worked with mentally and physically handicapped adults for 22 + years! You soon realize how one moment or one quick accident can leave you helpless and in need of others to help you! Please don&apos;t ever take that for granted!😞

  You might check out his work when he fronted the group &quot;Genesis.&quot;

  Phil Collins&apos; Another Day in Paradise came out in 89&apos; became a #1 hit and won Grammy Record of the Year. &nbsp;David Crosby does the backing vocals. &nbsp;It was the last #1 of the 80&apos;s, from the album But Seriously... &nbsp;Phil walks the walk--at various concerts on the Serious Tour, he raised awareness of homelessness and has given millions through the years behind the scenes to various charities. ❤

  As a pianist, you’ll enjoy Bruce Hornsby and the Range. “The Way It Is” has similar themes to this.

  Prince- Sign of the Times. He was the first to sing about AIDS. Prince also addresses many things like homelessness, single moms, etc…
