<P> After an unsuccessful search for a replacement, Collins took over as lead singer, while the group gained popularity in the UK and the US . Following A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering (both 1976), Hackett left the band, reducing it to a core of Banks, Rutherford, and Collins . Genesis' next album...And Then There Were Three...produced their first UK top ten and US top 30 single in 1978 with "Follow You Follow Me" and the group continued to gain commercial success with Duke (1980), Abacab (1981), and Genesis (1983), reaching a peak with Invisible Touch (1986), which featured five US top five singles . Its title track reached No. 1 in the US . After the follow up, We Can't Dance (1991) and related tour, Collins left Genesis in 1996 to focus on his solo career . Banks and Rutherford recruited Ray Wilson for Calling All Stations (1997), but a lack of success in the US led to a group hiatus . Banks, Rutherford and Collins reunited for the Turn It On Again Tour in 2007, and together with Gabriel and Hackett were interviewed for the BBC documentary Genesis: Together and Apart in 2014 . </P> <P> Their discography includes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the UK chart . They have won numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video with "Land of Confusion", and inspired a number of tribute bands recreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band's career . In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . </P> <P> The founding members of Genesis, singer Peter Gabriel, keyboardist Tony Banks, guitarist Anthony Phillips, bassist and guitarist Mike Rutherford, and drummer Chris Stewart, met at Charterhouse School, a private school in Godalming, Surrey . Banks and Gabriel arrived at the school in September 1963, Rutherford in September 1964, and Phillips in April 1965 . The five were members in one of the school's two bands; Phillips and Rutherford were in The Anon with singer Richard Macphail, bassist Rivers Jobe, and drummer Rob Tyrell, while Gabriel, Banks, and Stewart made up Garden Wall . </P> <P> In January 1967, after both groups had split, Phillips and Rutherford continued to write together and proceeded to make a demo tape at a friend's home - made studio, inviting Banks, Gabriel, and Stewart to record with them in the process . The five recorded six songs: "Don't Want You Back", "Try a Little Sadness", "She's Beautiful", "That's Me", "Listen on Five", and "Patricia", an instrumental . When they wished to have them professionally recorded they sought Charterhouse alumnus Jonathan King, who seemed a natural choice as their publisher and producer following the success of his 1965 UK top five single, "Everyone's Gone to the Moon". A group friend gave the tape to King who was immediately enthusiastic . Under King's direction, the group, aged between 15 and 17, signed a one - year recording contract with Decca Records . </P>
