Fun fact: Phil let Dave have a part in this song because it was a token of his friendship to Dave, who at the time, just got out of rehab, and his confidence/career needed a boost.... Phil, the man, the legend, and a great friend. A hero
David didn't go to rehab. He went to jail and got clean there. In a way the song is about David. We was a villain who went to jail, conquered his addictions, became a hero in the process, and went free.
They had actually worked before this too. Crosby did background vocals on Phil’s 1989 album and also appeared with him at the Grammy’s when they did “Another Day in Paradise”.
I grew up listening to the music of Bra Phil in the 80's and 90', and I have came to realize that this is a Super Hero and a true Legend indeed. It is saddening and heartbreaking to hear that today he has a type 2 diabetes and other illnesses. May the Almighty God HEAL this wonderful and talented legend. I love his music so much.

@@paulainsworth9229 Actually this is the original. Phil never finished the demo version that was meant for his “Both Sides” album. So he gave it to Crosby and helped produce it.
@@shivjoy Phil wrote this and recorded this demo originally. He did his own backing vocals. He gave the song (and a writing credit) to Crosby as a favor because he needed the money and the boost to his career. Phil sang the backing vocals on Crosby's version.
Phil you are my favourite singer you are my hero and i always listen your songs every day. You are the best british singer of the world and you have excellent songs
I'm listening to Phil Collins Hero early March 2021 beginning of the end of this Covid 19 Pandemic but wearing a mask New York Yankees practice social distancing and washing my hands! Covid 19 your finished!
Didn’t know until now that there was this Phil-only version of “Hero”. Sounds nice .. but better to hear him and f course David Crosby (RIP) sing the song.
I love Phil Collins I love his voice I love his songs and I love this song deep words he such a legend I only love Phil solo version of this song the 90s was my childhood that good songs.

Phil Collins always brings me good memories. I actually had a collection from him on vinyl. Unfortunately, as always lived changing cities or states it was too heavy to carry it and so I had to dispose it.I'm sure his music will always be played, because they are all beautiful.
Phil Collins Hero is one of my personal favorite song! Phil Collins Hero tribute should go to the late Kobe Bryant who died in the Helicopter crash along with his 13 year old daughter Gianna and 7 other people one year ago today!
Totally agree! Very underrated. I remember it from Spring 1993. Played for a few months and then disappeared. It keeps getting removed from CZcams. Right now, the duet version with David is here. Bless whomever posted that one too.
Respectfully, this is not a Phil Collins version of a David Crosby song. They co-wrote it. And if you know Phil Collins' music, you will hear that he was absolutely the main creator of this song.

RIP David Crosby (1941-2023). Thanks
Phill Collins ,Greatest musician of all times.
I wanna wish a Happy early 73rd Birthday 🎂 to Phil Collins!!!!

the 2 people who disliked this song didn't had heroes in their life
WONDERFUL SONG!
If anyone dislike Phil Collins Hero needs a Covid 19 Test
Or those heroes let them down

This song is possible the greatest song of the 90s as well.

@@bellazoe1 definitely one of them. One of the best set of lyrics Phil ever wrote.
They had actually worked before this too. Crosby did background vocals on Phil’s 1989 album and also appeared with him at the Grammy’s when they did “Another Day in Paradise”.
Phil is a once in a lifetime artist. I'm glad to have grown up listening to his music. Very blessed 🙏🙏
Two legends, that'll always have a never ending legacy. All the best legend, Rest In Peace David 💙🙏
R.I.P. David Crosby (1941-2023)
RIP Croz. Great tune.

@wildimpoets Phil Collins Hero is one of my personal favorite song
Por siempre Phil collins nos veremos en la eternidad
Un genio hizo muchos temas aprovechando su tristeza y la depresión siguió adelante por siempre Phil 🤚
I thought I have listened all his songs he released,but today I heard this song at the first time...what a heartful song this is.
Saudade saudade ssudade
I ❤ Phil Collins
It's actually Phil's song. He wrote it and gave Crosby a writing credit as a gesture of friendship.
This is a cover of the original by david Crosby.
Not forgetting this is a demo of said cover. The Collins version as usual was much more polished.

If i'm not wrong both artists gave backing vocals in each other's version.

A wonderfully well-done song!

Phil, you are my hero
i want to exchange you with
very nice song
That's just the way it is!!.. with David Crosby, almost makes me cry!!... another awesome son with those guys!..... THE BEST OF THE BEST
Both versions are good, but I like Phil's arrangement a little better. Phil has the talent to make any song at least as good as the original.
This is actually the original. Phil wrote this and gave David a writing credit to boost his confidence.
I prefer the Crosby version because it’s more polished but this is pretty good too.
Adoro esse cantor! inteligente e versátil! Show 👏 romântico demais.
Every song Phil does touches a part of my life - Yes he / you are my Hero - Phil - A & F - Beth
I love you Phil Collins you're the greatest ever....what would be my reaction if I had the chance to meet you
REST IN PEACE DAVID CROSBY ❤❤❤

Wow this song reminds me when i was leaving to a boarding school. I listened to it repeatedly. I started liking Phil Collins songs.😅

Hero: So many of them in that school in Connecticut. They loved those kids and paid the ultimate price trying to protect them. Godd bless them all.
