T'pau burst onto the music scene in 1987 with the hit "Heart and Soul" reaching No. 4 in both the UK and US charts. Taken from the debut album "Bridge Of Spies," it’s innovative use of a rap verse by a white female vocalist introduced the world to the distinctive lead vocals of Carol Decker and the song writing talents of Carol and Ronnie Rogers.

"Heart and Soul" led to a meteoric rise in T'pau's fortunes both at home and in the USA, where the track stayed on the US billboard chart for 6 months.

After a UK arena tour supporting Bryan Adams, the band immediately toured UK City Halls as headliners to tie in with the next single, the classic ballad "China In Your Hand." Nobody could have predicted the enormous impact of "China" which stayed at No. 1 for 5 weeks - the longest serving No. 1 of the year.

To date, "China In Your Hand" has appeared on more than 150 compilations, and has become one of the most played songs of the 1980's.

The original line up of T'pau split in 1991 after the final hit "Whenever You Need Me" (No. 16) The final album, "Heart and Soul: The Very Best Of T'pau," was released in 1993. Ron Rogers returned to production and studio work, whilst Carol embarked upon a co-writing career, occasionally performing solo and on other projects. business, plus an acoustic performance.
