Jackson's first fully digital project, it peaked at No. 14 in the UK, while in the US it reached No. 20. Expanding the sophisti-pop style pioneered on his preceding album, Night and Day (1982), the music of Body and Soul is a mix of pop, jazz and Latin music, and the album artwork emulates the smoky jazz style of Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2 (1957). The album features the hit singles "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)", "Happy Ending" and "Be My Number Two". The album was well-received by critics, with reviewers commending Jackson's introspective lyrics and dynamic arrangements, though others felt that Jackson and producer David Kershenbaum were not successful in their sonic goal of true-to-life minimalism. Jackson toured through August 1984 to promote the album. Producer David Kershenbaum met with Jackson about the project, first discussing it in mid-1983. Kershenbaum had "discovered" Jackson in 1978, and helped him produce 1979's Look Sharp! and I'm the Man albums. At the time of their meeting, Jackson was working to finish the soundtrack of Mike's Murder, and he told Kershenbaum he was weary of the artificiality of much modern music, recorded piecewise in dead acoustic isolation. He wished for a return to classic musicianship, with a well-rehearsed band playing together in the same space. Agreeing with him, Kershenbaum expressed a desire to move Jackson into the modern digital age, embracing the recent debut of the compact disc. In a nod to its jazz standards influence, the front and rear cover art imitated that of the 1957 saxophone album Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2, and the album's title was lifted from Coleman Hawkins' 1939 saxophone recording of "Body and Soul".
