There aren't that many Swiss bands that achieved international success, but the duo band Double (pronounced doo Ble) managed it in 1985 with their 4th single 'The captain of her heart'.Taken from their 1985 debut album Blue, the song is a ballad about a girl waiting in vain for her absent lover to return.
The song was an international success, reaching number 8 in the UK Singles Chart and number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Furthermore, it was a top 10 hit in the Dominican Republic, Italy, Canada, France, Norway and Germany. Interesting enough, it only reached number 11 in Switzerland.
The cover does make it look like that there are 4 members in the band. However if you look closly the two members are cloned. Always loved this track as it was a soulful balled.
