“The Way To Your Heart” by Soulsister

Belgium's Soulsister broke through in 1988 with "The Way to Your Heart", a cut from It Takes Two issued on EMI. The lead single from their debut album, "Like a Mountain", had done moderately well in the Netherlands; this follow-up went top ten in five European countries. Paul Michiels wrote the words, the story of a boy dreaming about a girl who never answers his love, set to a mix of pop and rock.

The Belgian pressing came with no B-side and sold for half price, and a maxi single followed with a long version and an instrumental. In 1989 it crossed to America, where it spent a single week on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 41, the band's only visit there, and rose to number 5 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
