Heart and Soul (T'Pau song)
“Heart and Soul” is the debut single by British pop rock ensemble T'Pau, released in 1987 from their debut album "Bridge of Spies." Following its inclusion in a Pepe Jeans advert, the single reached No. 4 in both the US and UK charts. Background. Singer Carol Decker said of the authorship and composition of the selection: Song information. The song is notable for its usage of various vocal overdubs, causing Decker, essentially, to be duetting with herself on the original studio recording. This makes the song, in its initial studio form, impossible to perform live  without additional backup singers. Instead, Decker often performs what she calls a "basic" version, explaining to Songfacts: "I rap the first two verses then cut to the melody for the verse before the chorus. No one really notices or minds as I cover the essential dynamics of the song. It works well." Upon its initial release in the UK in February 1987, the song was not well received, entering the bottom of the chart and falling out immediately after. But in the United States, the song received heavy airplay, and the Pepe Jeans advertisement enabled it to reach No. 4  on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in August 1987. Due to the exposure, the song was re-released in the UK that same month; this time it became a hit, equaling the US peak of No. 4 in September. Packaging and title. The single artwork was designed by graphic designer Adrian Fry.
