Collins 's first film role since embarking on his music career came in 1988 with the British romantic comedy drama-crime film '' Buster '' . He starred as Buster Edwards , a criminal convicted for his role in the Great Train Robbery . Reviews for the film were mixed and controversy ensued over its subject matter ; Prince Charles and Princess Diana declined an invitation to the film 's première after it was accused of glorifying crime . However , Collins 's performance opposite Julie Walters received good reviews and he contributed four songs to the film 's soundtrack . His slow ballad rendition of " A Groovy Kind of Love " , originally by the Mindbenders , became his only single to reach No. 1 in the UK and the U.S . The film also spawned the hit single " Two Hearts " , which he co-wrote with Lamont Dozier ; the two artists won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song and receive an Oscar nomination in the same category . " Big Noise " and " Loco in Acapulco " were also by Collins and Dozier , the vocals for the latter were performed by the Four Tops . Film critic Roger Ebert said the role of Buster was " played with surprising effectiveness " by Collins , although the film 's soundtrack proved more successful than the film
