Heart and Soul - T'Pau

(Not to be confused with Heart and Soul by Huey Lewis & The News.)

This song came out of nowhere into my head a few days back. I didn't realize until I just now looked it up that the song is 38 years old! I don't know if I'd ever known the name of this British band, T'Pau and definitely I didn't know the singer Carol Decker. The band was from Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Now THAT was England, then.

Heart and Soul is from T'Pau's debut album Bridge of Spies. The melody of the verses is not so hot and kind of proto-rap, but the chorus is very catchy. You heard it here first... or something. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Peakers. Thanks so much for reading and writing in!



Oh, well, I've got Huey Lewis's song in my head now too, so here's there one. These 2 together give out quite the '80's vibe.



Written and first recorded by the band Exile in 1981, this song was released by Huey Lewis & The News in 1984, 3 years before the T'Pau song.

PS: Mr. Stix, this is by far no Unz Review as far as functionality goes. I have spent ZERO time on the software since '18 or so. I know, I should.

You should be able to just paste in the link the the song by Bob Loggia. I'd paste it in here myself, but I don't know which song you were referring to (same name or not?)

I added your name to your fuller comment and deleted the earlier dupe.

One more thing: Once a week goes by or so, I don't see many people writing in under older posts. That's to be expected with the lack of "New comments" functionality. All you can do is look for the count to go up.

I'll write you on TUR to let you know I did at least read this one. Thanks for coming onto this site!

PS

When I hear “Heart and Soul,” I think of this.

That’s the late, great Bob Loggia, and a fellow who was a pretty big deal during the ‘90s.

I can't seem to get this youtube url to post.

That’s “Heart and Soul” by The Cleftones, 1961.

PS: Total Eclipse of the Heart. I remember the song, Adam, and the hair styles.

Have a good evening.

PS: Good afternoon, gentlemen,

Well, there's a pair of songs I haven't heard in forever. (Especially the first one.) As long as we're having a post about 80's music in our head...

I woke up with this one in my brain today...

(Yeah, I know. It's not the original version. But it's cool.)

Happy Sunday! ☮️

PS: Here you go, Alarmist (from wiki):

"The band formed in 1986, taking their name from a Vulcan elder of the same name in the sci-fi series Star Trek."

I looked at Mrs. Lovsky's wiki page too. Facinating.

Happy belated Spring, Peakers ☀️

Not be confused with Celia Lovsky, the Vulcan T’Pau, who officiated Spock’s wedding in the OG Star Trek episode “Amok Time” (s2e1).

The lady had quite a career despite her insecure hubby, Peter Lorre, keeping her down for fears her acting career would outshine his.
