Founded by Genesis bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford in the mid 1980s, when Phil Collins was pursuing his own solo efforts, Mike & The Mechanics (also featuring vocalists Paul Carrack and Paul Young) carved out their own identity with a batch of chart-scaling singles. Their self-titled 1985 debut album delivered two Top 10 singles, 'Silent Running' and 'All I Need Is A Miracle'. The follow-up, 1988's The Living Years, saw its title track hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Chart, and '91's Word Of Mouth continued their run of hits.
