“Heart and Soul” by T’Pau
About this episode
The episode explores T’Pau's hit song 'Heart and Soul' and its impact on music history.
Break out your Pepe jeans and get ready to learn all about T’Pau, the English group who mixed spoken word verses with one of the biggest choruses of the 80s on their 1987 hit, “Heart and Soul.” Produced by Roy Thomas Baker (yes, THAT Roy Thomas Baker, who produced some of the most iconic songs of all time from Queen and The Cars), this song has lived on for decades, ESPECIALLY among the One Hit Thunder community, who recently placed it surprisingly high on The Thundred countdown of the 100 greatest one hit wonders of all time. Although T’Pau actually had ANOTHER song that topped the charts in the UK, “Heart and Soul” was their only true hit in the US. So as we dove into the back catalog of the band, did it leave us begging for more? Tune in to find out.
