This song has been haunting my psyche lately...The Captain of Her Heart!...(1985) by the one hit wonder band from Switzerland... Double (pronounced Do Blah) consisting primarily of the duet Felix Haug on drums and keyboards and Kurt Maloo on guitar and vocals! There's a nice jazzy soft rock feel here a little reminiscent of Boz Scaggs!
The band lasted only five years from 1983-87, releasing three albums and ten singles. Their one hit reached number 4 in the US, number 8 in the UK and only number 11 in Switzerland. Apparently Double recorded several tracks with Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera which were never released due to "legal issues" ?
The beautiful soprano sax on here is played by guest artist Christian Ostermeier.

The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
