experimented with classical, fantasy iconography, surreal verse,
mysticism and voice. The results produced the multi-million selling
album "Second Contribution." Four of his 18 albums
charted on Billboard's top 100. Four singles charted on
Billboard's top 40. Celebrating 40 years of recording and touring,
Universal Music honored Phillips with a Lifetime Achievement Award
in Johannesburg, South Africa on August 23, 2002.
