Heart & Soul was my shit back when I was 9.

i love t'pau. china in your hand.... great song

I have to go with Nu Shooz. They were funkier but heart and soul by T'pau is the shit too!

Anxiety said:

Robbie Nevil was the shit back then and Funky as hell with cuts like C'est La Vie and Dominoes. Plus, he was kinda sexy in a glam way.

Hello? "Wot's It To Ya"?

JonSnow said:

ohhh yeahh they had that song too.

F'real! If you're gonna mention his outdated ass, don't forget that good song!

And back on topic...hmmm. Toughie. I love both of their bits hits, but I'm going to go with Nu Shooz. I also liked the follow-up, Point of No Return. The extended cut was cool as fuck. I read once that the original version of I Can't Wait was shit until Shep Pettibone got his hands on it and reworked it. I wanna know what the original sounded like.

Give a little bit of heart and soul to T'Pau!

Bring back JJ Fad vs. L'Trimm!

Don't forget Nu SHooz's Should I say Yes..

anyhoo..she speaks

I just Checked..T'pau kept on apparently through the 90's. I think they were from Austrailia and Like most Crazy Aussies (Ace of Bass) make music that gets only appreciated down under.

where were you when l'trimm was dying a slow, painful death in the 'l'trimm vs. jjfad' thread a while back???

Moonbeam said:

lol!

CinisterCee said:

they're eligible for the rock'n'roll hall of fame soon, aren't they?

Anxiety said:

Huh. I missed that one entirely!

CinisterCee said:

So tell those nosy people just to stay the hell back!

No contest

Nu Shooz

I Can't Wait is my jam , Point of no return is also better than Heart and Soul.

I liked Nu-Shooz better....

CinisterCee said:

I forgot about that old cut. Whew, that wasn't one of his best, The first two I mentioned were b/c they were funkier.

Nope. I have to vote for T'Pau, even if I'm the only one. "Heart and Soul" was a favorite song of mine when it was out. I still love it.

Good Question. I love those 80's classics.

But my pick is Nu Shooz. I Can't Wait & Point Of No Return were huge hits

Stax said:

Hell Yeah! They really knew how to make a video back in the 80's with that shit!!!

Nu Shooz: Valerie Day & John Smith (and yes, they're still married).

RipHer2Shreds said:

Those were both pretty cool dance tunes.

They were the opening act for a Santana concert I saw at The Wiltern Theatre some years back.
Great Santana show. He had a combination of all the old bands.
Graham Lear, Chester Thompson, Tom Coster, Alphonso Johnson and even Buddy Miles came out and did Them Changes.

Nu Shooz without a doubt.Hey, does anybody know what they're doing now? Are they still doing music? And someone said they're still married. I never knew they were married. That's cool.

I like both bands, but I've got to give this one to Nu Shooz. Both "I Can't Wait" and "Point Of No Return" were jams. I'm not familiar with T'Pau beyond "Heart And Soul" (which I also like).

A friend of mine did some session work out in California with Robbie Nevil in the mid 90's. I'm not familiar with any of his stuff either besides "C'est La Vie" -- but I know all the lyrics to that one. I still hear it sometimes when I go out, and I'll start singing it. I'll have to see if I can find "Dominoes".

Anyone remember t pau's "china in ur hand"? It was a big hit in UK and a really good power ballad. That song is awesome.
