T’Pau, the band formed in 1986, revolves around the talented vocalist Carol Decker, born on September 10, 1957. The group also comprises guitarist Ronnie Rogers (born March 13, 1959), keyboard player Michael Chetwood (born August 26, 1954), bassist Paul Jackson (born August 8, 1961), and drummer Tim Burgess (born October 6, 1961). Initially signed with Virgin’s Siren subsidiary, T’Pau’s debut single, ‘Heart and Soul,’ released in early 1987, garnered limited attention at first. However, after its feature in a Pépe jeans commercial, the track soared to a Top Five position on both sides of the Atlantic. Their first album, Bridge of Spies (known as T’Pau in the U.S.), swiftly claimed the number one spot in England. Following successful singles from the album, T’Pau toured with Bryan Adams and Nik Kershaw, expanding their lineup with guitarist Dean Howard for the second album, Rage, in 1988. Despite reaching number four on the UK chart, the album’s successor, The Promise, achieved only modest success by barely entering the Top Ten in 1991. After a final tour, T’Pau disbanded, prompting Carol Decker to pursue a solo career. In 1998, Decker revived T’Pau with fresh members and released the album Red. Celebrating the 25th anniversary in 2013, Decker and Rogers reunited for a UK tour, continuing to headline shows and festivals across the UK and Europe.
