Carol Decker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carol Decker (born September 10, 1957 in London) is an English recording artist. She is best known as the singer and front woman from the band T'Pau, which enjoyed considerable international success in the late 1980s. Her partner at the time, Ronnie Rogers (born 13 March 1959 in Shrewsbury), was also a member of the band. Though Decker's music is mainly associated with the group, she released a solo single in 1995 entitled "One Heart" in support of the Halifax World Cup Rugby League Centenary.

In addition to her musical achievements, Decker has also acted on both stage and screen, including a part in the movie Nine Dead Gay Guys (Internet Movie Database entry). TV appearances include Hit Me Baby One More Time (in which she reached the final round, ultimately being beaten by Shakin' Stevens). Decker also appeared in the British comedy series Trigger Happy TV in which she appeared in a "bull in a china shop" sketch (the joke being that she had previously had a hit with the song China in Your Hand) and in another sketch where she accompanied Dom Joly as he pretended to be a door-to-door salesman.

It has been revealed that Decker will be entering "Making Your Mind Up", the pre-selection competition for the United Kingdom's Eurovision Song Contest entry to attempt to qualify for the 2007 contest. She will be performing a song entitled "Goodbye", alongside Daz Sampson^[1].

Decker now spends most of her time at her home in St Briavels in the Forest of Dean and can often be seen frequenting The George Inn.
