No Jacket Required, released in 1985, was Phil Collins' third solo album, and mixed his trademark emotional ballads alongside strong funk and R&B influences. The album's hit singles "Sussudio", "One More Night", "Don't Lose My Number" and "Take Me Home" would also become staples of his live shows in the years that followed.
No Jacket Required was a resounding global hit, reaching N° 1 in 11 countries, including the U.K., U.S., Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, and Sweden. The album received three Grammy Awards: Best Album, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and Producer of the Year for Collins. It has sold more than 25 million copies to date, is RIAA-certified diamond-selling in the U.S., has reached 6x platinum-selling in the U.K., and won two Brit Awards Album of the Year and Best Male Solo Artist. It was the second-best-selling album of 1985 in the U.K. and spent five consecutive weeks at N° 1 there. "Sussudio" and "One More Night" were both U.S. N° 1 singles. The No Jacket Required World Tour played 85 shows in 12 countries and concluded with two special performances at Live Aid on July 13, at Wembley Stadium in London and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia on the same day.
