"Two Hearts" is a song written, produced and performed by Phil Collins. Lamont Dozier (of Motown's Holland-Dozier-Holland) also wrote and produced this song for the 1988 crime comedy film Buster.[1] It won the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song alongside the Carly Simon song "Let the River Run" from Working Girl. Two music videos were made: one featuring Phil as all four members in a band, and the other featuring him in a wrestling match against the Ultimate Warrior which was featured on the 1990 Seriously.. Phil Collins US TV Special.

[edit] Charts

The song topped the US Hot 100 for two weeks,[2] the US adult contemporary chart for five weeks, and also reached #6 on the UK Singles Chart. It opened the radio station BBC Hereford and Worcester, appropriate in that the station was based in two different places.

The B-side features Anne Dudley and the London Film Orchestra performing "The Robbery", also on the Buster soundtrack.
