It was also their last hit single to reach the top 20 of any Billboard Chart . </P> <P> The song was originally featured in the 1991 feature film The Five Heartbeats, which follows the lives of the fictional singing group of the same name . In the scene the song is featured in, the group is about to perform in a Battle of the Bands when the announcer, a cousin of another musician in the competition, tells them backstage that a new house rule demands they use a piano player hired by the owners of the building . The members of the group have not practiced with the piano player, and quickly realize this will harm their performance . The announcer then goads the audience into booing and throwing objects at the Heartbeats as they perform . Duck, tired of his music being altered, throws the piano player off the stage and plays in his own style . The crowd soon applauds as The Heartbeats perform together and the group wins the contest . </P>

Who sang a heart is a house for love
