"Invisible Touch'" is the title track of Genesis' 1986 album, Invisible Touch. It is one of their most successful singles of all time and was the band's only number-one single in the United States. It went to number four in Canada. It is a meditation on intangibility, speaking of a woman whose qualities go beyond just what meets the eye.
Ironically Genesis was replaced at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 by their former lead singer Peter Gabriel, with his song "Sledgehammer".
