The Fascination Behind Genesis's Final Number One: "I Can't Dance"
Genesis, the iconic British rock band, reached a pivotal moment in their musical journey in 1991 when they scored their final number one song in both the UK and the USA—"I Can't Dance." What makes this single extraordinary is how uncharacteristic it was for the band, diverging from their earlier progressive rock roots. The song emerged not from meticulous planning, but rather from an offhand experiment by the three core members—Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford—while they were simply having fun in the studio.
