“You Can’t Hurry Love” by Phil Collins is a vibrant reimagining of the 1966 hit by The Supremes, originally produced by the legendary Motown trio of Holland-Dozier-Holland. Collins, a lifelong admirer of Motown, decided to cover the song in 1982 as part of his second solo album, Hello, I Must Be Going!. His version of the song, infused with his signature drumming style and a modern pop sheen, became one of his most beloved hits.
The idea to cover “You Can’t Hurry Love” came from Collins’ deep appreciation for the Motown sound. He had already dabbled in vintage soul influences on his first solo album, but with this track, he went all-in, aiming to capture the infectious energy of the original while making it his own. He meticulously studied the drumming techniques of the classic Motown recordings, particularly the work of Benny Benjamin, the legendary drummer of the Funk Brothers. Collins played the drums himself, crafting a groove that paid homage to the signature Motown feel but with his unmistakable crispness and precision.
The song’s drumbeat is a key element in its infectious energy. Collins used a punchy, reverb-heavy snare sound that had become a hallmark of his style. The rhythm is tight, with an irresistible shuffle that drives the song forward. Unlike the original, where the drums sit slightly back in the mix, Collins brings them forward, making the groove more prominent and dynamic. This was a conscious choice, as he wanted to blend nostalgia with a contemporary 80s production style.
“You Can’t Hurry Love” was released as a single in late 1982 and became a massive success, reaching No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart and breaking into the Top 10 in the U.S. Collins performed the song extensively on his Hello, I Must Be Going! tour, and it became a staple of his live shows for years. The energy of the track translated perfectly to the stage, with Collins often emphasizing the drum fills and groove, much to the delight of fans.
For drum enthusiasts, “You Can’t Hurry Love” showcases Collins’ ability to blend technical precision with a natural, infectious feel. His drumming not only honors the Motown legacy but also elevates the song with his unique rhythmic touch, making it one of the standout drum performances of his career.
