Body and Soul is the sixth album by English singer-songwriter Joe Jackson, released on 14 March 1984 by A&M Records. Jackson's first fully digital project, it peaked at No. 14 in the UK, while in the US it reached No. 20. Described by one reviewer as a sophisti-pop album, the tracks are a mix of pop, jazz and Latin music, showcasing the hit single "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". Two other singles fared well, with "Happy Ending" charting in five countries, and "Be My Number Two" enjoying moderate success in the UK. The album artwork emulated the smoky jazz style of Sonny Rollins' 1957 album "Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2". Musically, critics commended Jackson's introspective lyrics and dynamic arrangements.
