Its innovative use of a rap verse by a white female vocalist introduced the world to the distinctive lead vocals of Carol Decker & the songwriting talents of Carol & Ronnie Rogers.

Heart & Soul led to a meteoric rise in T’pau’s fortunes at home & in the USA, where the track stayed on the US Billboard Chart for 6 months

After a European Arena Tour supporting Bryan Adams, the band toured UK City Halls and Theatres as headliners to tie in with the next single, the classic ballad China In Your Hand.

Simultaneously Bridge Of Spies occupied the number 1 album slot for 2 weeks. Their own arena concerts followed.
