Soulsister is a Belgian music band consisting of Jan Leyers and main vocalist Paul Michiels[2] that initially existed from 1986 to 1995 and, after a split, reunited in 2007.

They had a huge hit with 1989's "The Way to Your Heart", a Motown-sounding song that reached the 41st position of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States while also achieving success in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.

In 1988, the group changed its name to SoulSister and their first official album, It Takes Two, was released, with Michiels on keyboards and Leyers on the guitar, with various musicians on back-up.

In the meantime, Leyers was asked to co-write "That's As Close as I Get To...", a song sung by American country singer Aaron Tippin.

Michiels went solo performing the same soulful, Motown-sounding music that made SoulSister a success, while Leyers joined with Filip Cauwelier and Joost Van den Broek in the rock band My Velma (named after a character in the Raymond Chandler novel Farewell, My Lovely).

Leyers performed a track titled "Only Your Love Will Do" while Michiels recorded a cover of the Alphaville song "Forever Young".
