"Invisible Touch" is the title track and first single from the 1986 studio album of the same name by the English rock band Genesis.

The song is a group composition which featured lyrics written by drummer and lead vocalist Phil Collins.

1 single in the United States; the song additionally spent three consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart during summer 1986 until it was surpassed by Peter Cetera's "Glory of Love".

Collins has said he heard the influence of Prince and Sheila E. in the drum machine and his lyrics were inspired by a few people he had known who had got under his skin.

[12] Collins was one of several performers at the event whose offensive language caused the BBC to be censured by the media regulator Ofcom.

On the Invisible Touch and We Can't Dance tours, the song was tuned down a whole step to prevent strain on Collins' voice.

On the Calling All Stations tour, it was tuned down further to fit then-lead vocalist Ray Wilson's naturally deeper voice.

Genesis reunited with director Jim Yukich to make the "Invisible Touch" music video in 1986.

[14][better source needed] The scene begins in a large auditorium with Collins, Rutherford and Banks goofing around with 8 mm film cameras; the video progresses to show the entire set with Collins using his own drumsticks for a microphone and the band fooling around with Yukich and the crew.

Unlike the original recording of the song, this live version was a top 10 hit in the UK, reaching number seven.

In one of the interview sections on the Way We Walk – Live in Concert DVD, Collins joked about re-releasing the song until it finally became a hit.
