[@Khalid15325]

No autotune on her voice man, no one !. That’s why we can have goosebumps by hearing her « fortissimo ».

[@bjohnson1489]

Redhead goddess

[@sevensolaris]

This has got to be one of the best produced songs of the 80s. The layering of the vocals is so well done and the combination of the spoken word and singing really makes this song one of a kind.

[@1980sneonelectrik]

China in you hand, another classic from T'pau.

[@adtrent]

Agreed. One of my favorites of all-time.

[@nickhaswell6011]

Masterpiece thats all that needs to be said about this classic legendery song

[@johnbaldock6353]

80's music BEST EVER!

[@lisagilliam7884]

whats extra cool is that she watches reaction videos of her song and comments!! i just smile when i watch videos of the younger generation getting turned on to great music of the eighties and early 90's. the music was just that ........................

[@c.bruceryan7961]

Absolutely true! Chatted with her briefly once just happened to catch her commenting live. Super nice lady and incredibly talented

[@maryparker9426]

Fun fact, T'Pau was a Vulcan priestess in Star Trek! Their song China in your Hand was everywhere when it came out, I think you would like it.

[@dawnmartin4625]

I remember spending a whole Saturday playing, stopping, reminding over and over and over trying to write the words to this song. Well spent Saturday!

[@hereforit170]

❤

[@MizzInterpreted]

My teenage dilemma was always which vocal bit to sing along to. Still love this song so much!

[@jino4280]

Yes! I get that! LOL

[@autumnmatthews3179]

This is the first record I bought. Still love T'Pau, their music is so easy to listen to

[@DECKERTHEWRECKER]

T'pau thanks you!!! live long and prosper xx

[@linhovenden]

😍

[@simonmiller5165]

Carol - thank you for all you have done and keep doing. You were my childhood and upbringing musically..from every school disco to every night out in Birmingham. From a fellow midlander x

[@richmurray8992]

I'm such a fan. I loved this song when it was brand new and I love it even more today. I wore out that album. My favorite song is still the title track, "Bridge of Spies" -- I do an absolutely terrible singalong to that one in the car because I have an awful voice but I bellow along at full volume anyway! Thank you for the wonderful music!

[@richmurray8992]

Also I put Carol Decker up in the group of the greatest British singers of all time, with Dusty, Adele, Alison Moyet, Shirley Bassey....

[@medtechnica]

We love you Carol - even in 2024 you make me happy when I hear you sing.

[@trevorjames426]

Loved T’Pau! Carol Decker is brilliant ❤

[@sliderdriver1]

Carol at her finest....simple as that!❤

[@leewright6101]

80s fro me was the best era ever, though my teens, was amazing music has never been the same since,

[@andimusicjunkie3990]

It´s such a shame that this reaction video does not have more views. This song ist without a doubt one of the best songs of the 80s. And the album Bridge of spies is also very good...

[@bigneon_glitter]

A British woman _spitting_ verses + Cocteau Twins double-tracked vocals. T'Pau nails both with ease. An underrated & still impressively original Pop classic.

[@benjaminparkinson5255]

Carol what a voice

[@bjohnson1489]

Real voice not the shabby scum we have today

[@LH-po3up]

You need to listen to Kajagoogoo, Too Shy! EPIC 80'S track.

[@mgparis]

oh yes please!!!! you will love it, it's 80s pop perfection :)

[@scooter910]

Always loved this song, another great 80s song I'm sure you'll like is I can't wait by Nu Shooz

[@valentinelove2654]

So happy to see that someone finally mentions the vocal layers. It literally has double lyrics. What an incredible song it is. ❤🔥👏👍👌

[@lornaloobylou]

Love this song one of my all time favourites, T'Pau rocked

[@paull4048]

Such a great and underrated band! So many great songs/albums! Never get tired of listening to this song!

[@DRACOMACHINE]

I loved this song when it came out. It was my High School years! I loved the way the song layered!

[@patrickmiller1834]

One of my favorites. Was a hit should have been bigger in the US but it was a billboard top ten

[@adtrent]

This song was my favorite song of all time when it came out I remember every word and it is amazing and I'm so happy to hear this song again and see people reacting to it. 1987 was a great year!

[@robertstingley1867]

Ive watched a hundred videos of this song, and while I know its one gal, I cant believe its one gal.

[@slimlouis6441]

One of the best one hot wonders of the decade. And there were many.

[@rmm3854]

The Summer of 1987. It’s an amazing track; there’s nothing quite like it. No autotune, Carol sends it out into the stratosphere. It doesn’t get any better than this. T’Pau had other great tracks. One of the UK’s finest mid-80s exports. This song can be only heard LOUD! 37 years later … it STILL stands up firmly. ✊

[@esclad]

Bridge of Spies is an amazing album.

[@Mark-zu6oz]

And an amazing song

[@nickavenoso7851]

BOS and Rage are two great albums from T’Pau. My two favorites from them.

[@joannetyndall3625]

Omg Derek yr cooking on gas today!Another favourite album of my teens...Bridge of Spies was epic.

[@NoFinalWords]

👍🏼... and the song Bridge Of Spies is brilliant!

[@joannetyndall3625]

@@NoFinalWords it is.And I loved Thankyou for Goodbye x

[@NoFinalWords]

@@joannetyndall3625 Oh yes! Me too! Great Song!

[@todddepue681]

In the US, they were a one hit wonder with this song. I was 16 at the time and properly obsessed with it.

[@stevem-h3562]

her autobiography explains why as well. They broke in the US first, then finally Virgin decided to push the album in the UK when they'd had the US number 1.... and they ended up abandoning the US tour part of the way through and never went back. Bad management decision.

[@adrianhill8336]

Saw them twice

[@sparksdrinker5650]

Such an underrated classic

[@briangleason867]

This became my favorite song of the 80's by the first chorus. You may have heard it in Black Mirror - San Junipero. I still don't understand how this band was a one-hit wonder in the US but were pretty big in Europe for a few years in the late 80's through the early 90's.

[@iheart80s27]

I bought this song on 12-inch vinyl not long after it came out. There is a version on it called "The 4-12 Mix" that separates the 2 vocal tracks, so you can hear all of the "rap" part by itself. That debut album "Bridge of Spies" (in Canada) hardly left my yellow Sony Walkman for the last half of '87 and most of '88. So many good songs on it that were not released in North America.

[@edmonguy]

Carol Decker had one of the greatest voices ever! There are tons of outstanding T'Pau songs: Whenever You Need Me, With A Little Luck, Wing and a Prayer, Bridge of Spies, Man & Woman, You Give Up, On the Wing, and You Never Noticed Me would be my recommendations to really get an all-around feel for the group.

[@SYNAPTIKMETAL]

Big fan of Carol Decker and T'Pau. Even as a metalhead vocalist i still return to this talented band. Especially the debut album. Strong rock influence softened up for commercial purposes. But hwr grittiness shines occasionally. Firecracker.

[@scottydogx]

Definitely an 80s classic. How is it possible that you haven’t reacted to any Human League?

[@rickjr37]

Oh….my inner 16 year old is so happy right now. :)

[@LilRocker2005]

Never been this early for a reaction!! This song is one of my favorites! Every time it comes on my playlist I crank it up! The singer's name is Carol Decker. The song was actually released in 1986 but didn't start catching waves until it got used in a commercial for Pepe Jeans and it blew up from there shooting straight to number 1 on the charts and was the band's only hit

[@simonfarrimond3664]

must have been top in the US as it only hit no 4 in the UK charts .. China in your hand was there only UK no 1 hit for 5 weeks

[@dreasbn]

China in your Hand was huge

[@LilRocker2005]

@@simonfarrimond3664 Heart And Soul was the big hit for us here in the States yes as it was a number 1 hit. I don't think China In Your Hand did too well here as a lot of people here consider T'Pau a "One Hit Wonder"

[@jdmikeg4]

Youre not the first person to fall in love with this song when you first heard it! This was a smash when it came out on the radio back in the 80’s!

[@musics80]

Love Carol Decker (T’Pau)

[@helixmoore7636]

We had such a crush on her too.

[@richmurray8992]

Also I always had a bit of a crush on the drummer back in the day. :)

[@lukevj]

Great tune. She has such a cute voice. For so many years, I thought it was two girls singing. Great range

[@lukevj]

Good engineering

[@lukevj]

Watch the live version

[@Bekka_Noyb]

♥ One of my fave 80s songs!

[@josephwalther5979]

Sometime, somewhere, this song will have a revival like Kate Bush's "Running Up that Hill".

[@lukevj]

The live version is great. Her voice has really held up well. I think the video I watched was from 2013. It was filmed at a music festival on some island off the coast of the UK

[@angelbrigg]

Watched the same video and I think it was great still!

[@nickavenoso7851]

I believe it was the Isle Of Wight…?

[@cubismic]

I was 11 when this song came out and I heard it for the 1st time........I cried bitterly listening to it, I was alone, and desperate by the end of 1987 ....I didn't understand a word (I'm from Germany ), but this song touched me like no other...the arrangement, the voice, the spoken words, it was magical! I love this song forever!

[@JAGreen-lj9zi]

This song became very hot, not because of a commercial. I never saw a commercial. That must have been only in New York because everywhere else and I was living in Florida, Miami, New Jersey, North Carolina and Philadelphia! There was never a commercial pushing it! But it was a whole lot of heavy radio play of this song. It smashed everywhere!!

[@cjjenson8212]

In the 80s this was one of the songs there were no wallflowers at the clubs. Everybody danced this song!!!

[@markandersson7215]

Love T’Pau I went to see them ‘87/8 ish in Liverpool UK, which lots don’t realise she was from Huyton, now Merseyside

[@TheClairem75]

Total banger. China In Your Hand was no 1 in the uk for 5 weeks

[@Boodieman72]

I think I saw a live version where one of her vocals was recorded and she sang the other part.

[@stereohype1]

Carol is very active on X aka Twitter and almost always tweets you back if you @ her something positive or funny. She is great with her fans. Has a wicked sense of humour too. I love her! Where you may have heard this song before is it featured in an episode of S3e04 of Black Mirror. Its also in a scene in the 2015 movie "Sisters" where Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's characters sing along to it on the radio in their car. And of course finally, it was famously featured in a Pepe's jeans ad in the 80s which led to this song becoming a huge hit in America.

[@NJITALIANIRISH1971]

Always loved this song. The remixed version is on my ipod playlist.

[@eddo2001]

People born in the 90s all need to listen to the entire 80s catalog and see how much music has deteriorated

[@simonfarrimond3664]

T paus biggest hit was china in your hand no1 for 5weeks maybe you should check that one out in future. keep up the good work/reactions

[@chilloutrollercoaster8363]

Tbh honest mate the 80s we're very much underappreciated imo,great reaction 👍

[@SYNAPTIKMETAL]

I can't be certain but I think he loves it. 🤣

[@joshmaclean3179]

I was 12 in 1987 when this came out. Still Have my 12" Vinyl

[@Hurbie_53]

Damn had I a crush on her .....

[@annmonaghan4360]

Carol Decker is the lead singer. A loved China in your hand

[@michaelperugini4199]

didnt have backup singers, they had the background lyrical low key singing video playing with her as the background vocals, as she sung on stage to her self behind her

[@Wi1dFlOwer]

This reminds me of skating at the rink

[@smartypants4571]

You are listening to easily the biggest hit of 1987 , and that was the year of big hits !

[@notthatharkness7619]

Have you reacted to Nu Shooz yet? "I Can't Wait" or "Point of No Return". Total 80s.

[@christinamann3640]

I remember this time was during a brief split in rap, with the hard edge type we usually think of (associated with New York at the time) and a soft type (usually associated with LA) That is how I heard it described on the radio at the time

[@retrogamer82]

Another 80’s feel good song

[@1980sneonelectrik]

China in your hand is another great song from T"pau to check out... Please :)

[@pant-hootingchimp8917]

Wow, haven't heard this for years. It's always been my favourite song by T'Pau. I remember going to see Bryan Adams in concert in Cornwall (UK) in 1987 and T'Pau was the support act. The only song of theirs anyone knew at that point was this one and I still remember everyone going crazy for it and singing along to the chorus! Fun times. :)

[@justarepublicandog2505]

Turn it up!!!!

[@rmorgan329]

You broke that S____Down!!!!!

[@Dany-vy5wn]

you are on point with laura branigan! you are the best Dereck!

[@spyretto]

If you listen to any of the live vocals of this song Carol Decker (the singer) sounds exactly like on the record. She's one of those artists who just have it in them.

[@spyretto]

About the success of the song in the UK, indeed China In your Hands, the first single was much more successful there hitting the number one. The Brits didn't like HaS much because they thought it sounded too "American" hence its success in the USA.

[@francofan100]

Heart and Soul only made it to the UK Charts because of a late night chart show called ‘America’s Top 10’ presented by Casey Kasem (aka Shaggy from Scooby Doo) which piqued the British public’s interest.

[@iamjenniferjames]

♥♥♥ Great reaction! I can't wait to see you react to Pentatonix - Daft Punk. Mind-blowing!

[@Jamie-wd3ql]

Big hit in the USA after it was used in a Pepe Jeans commercial.

[@Wesker1984]

Carole Decker, awesome voice, try China In Your Hand too.

[@btchnotme1587]

“China In Your Hand” was even better than “Heart & Soul”. It flopped in the US but was a major hit in the UK. Check that one out.

[@jvgogh5077]

I'm Canadian and do have a fan edit posted of CHINA IN YOUR HAND to an old B&W film. It's so nice to see people agree and appreciate these 2 songs.

[@VideosSmokin]

I requested for him to react to "China in my hand" which will come out soon.

[@user-zl9qb3fx8tq]

T'Pau --> "Sex Talk" and "Monkey House" 🤘🎸

[@andimusicjunkie3990]

Yes, rock heaven...

[@Wesker1984]

If you ever played Grand Theft Auto IV and its DLC you probably heard it on there. If you want to hear the entire backing you need to hear the extended version.

[@stevem-h3562]

Produced by Roy Thomas Baker. Big ass former Queen producer.

[@kilgh]

Congrats on the 100k!

[@DereckReacts]

Thank you!

[@scottdavies57]

My favourite from this band is ‘Valentine’ but this wasn’t far behind.

[@AlexTommo]

You should check out the live performance at Hammersmith. She obviously can't sing both parts but she absolutely kills it.

[@robclark8889]

Always loved this song. So much so that I’ll date myself. I put it on a cassette for the girl I had a crush on back in school. For those who are lost, please ask your parents or even grandparents as to what I am talking about. You won’t regret it because then you’ll understand what determination it took to do one.

[@neil993]

Thanks to Carol I developed a long lasting love of redheads, which has worked out both well and terribly over the years!! Amazing song though, definitely check out China In Your Hand next!!

[@helenpeterson]

Yes China In Your Hand amazing

[@TormTrue]

When she performed it live back in the day, Ronnie Rogers, the guitarist and backing vocalist who was co-writer with Carol on most of their songs would do the "rap" part most of the time. It was obviously not as good as Carol doing both parts, but we can't have everything. (And Ronnie did some very fun covers of "I'm a Believer" and "Walk Away Renee" in concerts while Carol was doing wardrobe changes.) If you want another example of them doing this layered sort of sound, check out "Island". There's no video, but the audio is on KZbin, and the way the vocals are done is similar but the song is still different, and it's one of my favorites. (Which honestly describes almost everything T'Pau did except maybe a small handful of tracks.) Also, you were noticing the way Carol's dancing shadow was moving at one point. If you search KZbin you'll find a different cut of the video where you could see Carol dancing full body... and I'll let you re-draw your own conclusions. lol. (Carol, if you see this, love ya, sorry. ;) )

[@martah1]

You should listen Alanis Moyet " love resurrection"

[@eauhomme]

Something in the moonlight catches my eye The shadow of a lover goes dancing by Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so Give me love, give me heart and soul You never let me cross to the other side now I'm tied to the hope that you will somehow Hard on the heels of something more But I lost your love, heart and soul The tear in my heart as you walk on by (more than an ocean) I feel so low and your head is high Everything you do convinces me more (keeps us apart) Please, give me love, give me heart and soul Looking to the day when I saw your face (I feel a tearing in half of my heart) I wasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race You move in a way that I've known before Now I want your love, heart and soul Tired eyes, tears that dried (leaving you ain't easy now) On the bed, on the pillow, where the love has died (loving you's the harder part) A turn of the key, through the door you go (you never want me for myself) Don't look back, to hurt me more (now I've needed you right from the very start) Everything you said was to the point Can't you try to (oh won't you even try to) Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) Give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you) Give a sign, I need to know A little bit of heart and soul Walking on the water, walking on the air (a walk on the water) That was the heart of the love we shared Do you keep secret left untold (is all that I need) Can't give love, heart or soul I used to have a lover with a Midas touch (but miracles are not happening) I turned to gold but he turned to dust Left me for another, I turned to stone Now give me love, heart and soul Tired eyes, tears that dried (living in a fantasy) On the bed, on the pillow, where you told your lies (there's never any room to breathe) A turn of the key, my blood runs cold (hoping every waking hour) Don't look back to hurt me more (you'll turn around and say that we can start) Everything you did just said it all Can't you try to (oh won't you even try to) Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) Give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you) Give a sign, I need to know A little bit of heart and soul Somehow, I lost my way Looking to see something in your eyes But love will never compromise Now this is the politics of life, yeah! Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) Give a little bit of love to grow Give a little bit of heart and soul (give a little bit of heart and soul) And don't you make me beg for more (must I beg you) Give a sign, I need to know A little bit, little bit

[@v.j.3029]

Alanis Morissette did a song called Too Hot in her early pop days (1991) before she turned angry rocker chick and I have a suspicion she got highly inspired by this song. She goes through the same vocal changes with the spoken parts and loud hook. I'd love to know your impression on it and if you also think she might have taken her inspiration from this song.

[@kevinbreese5739]

I'm 49 years old, and a HUGE music fan and audiophile since I was about 8 years old, and I can genuinely say that this is without a doubt one of the most underrated songs of all time.

Derek, the T in T'Pau is pronounced Tə with the schwa sound.

[@TormTrue]

Yep. If you ever watched Star Trek: Enterprise, the T'Pol character is from the same species as the T'Pau character from TOS that the band is named after. The pronunciation of that T' follows the same pattern for Vulcans generally. And yes, I'm a colossal nerd. ;)
