Peter Brian Gabriel (born February 13, 1950, in Chobham, Surrey, England) is an English musician. He first came to fame as the lead vocalist, flautist, and percussionist of the progressive rock group Genesis, went on to a successful solo career, and more recently has focused on producing and promoting world music and pioneering digital distribution methods for music. In addition he has been involved in various humanitarian efforts.
Genesis
Gabriel founded Genesis in 1967 while a pupil at Charterhouse School with bandmates Tony Banks, Anthony Phillips, and Mike Rutherford. The name of the band was suggested by fellow Charterhouse School alumnus, the pop music impresario Jonathan King.
A lover of soul music, Gabriel was influenced by many different sources in his way of singing, mainly Nina Simone, Gary Brooker of Procol Harum and Cat Stevens. He also played the flute on Stevens' Mona Bone Jakon album in 1970.

I know it still has Peter Gabriel on vocals, but I thought the harmony between PG and Phil Collins marked the transition.

If you could only put one Peter Gabriel Song from "So" into a dinner party mix would it be "Big Time", "Sledgehammer" or "Red Rain"?
