Congo (song)

"Congo" is a song by English rock band Genesis, released in September 1997 as the first single from their fifteenth album, Calling All Stations (1997). The single marked the debut of Ray Wilson as the lead vocalist for the band. It was a hit across Europe, although it became their first lead single since 1977 to not reach the UK Top 20, peaking at #29. There had been other singles that did not reach the Top 20, or even the Top 40, but they were not the lead single from an album. It was also the band's last Top 40 hit, and their only with Wilson.
