Episode 72: T’Pau / T’Pau

Moving into the month sees the pop group T'Pau get to the spotlight. Formed in 1986 in Shropshire this band was named after a Star Trek character. Their first hit in the US, Heart and Soul initially flopped in the UK but rose to #4 in the Billboard 100 in 1987. With the synthesizer sound so prominent it is no wonder it is referred to as synth-pop. Not surprising the Blob finds it distasteful. But what does he know. We hope you enjoy this trip back to the mid 80's.
