Vital Signs is the second studio album by the Christian rock group White Heart,
released in 1984 on Home Sweet Home Records.
Vital Sings features Scott Douglas as the new lead vocalist replacing Steve Green, who left White Heart in 1983 after their self -titled album was released. Green does provide backing vocals on the group's first number one hit "We Are His Hands" featuring Douglas on lead vocals. Green was one of the choir vocalists on the song, along with Amy Grant, Russ Taff, Bob Farrell of Farrell and Farrell, Kathy Troccoli and many others. "We Are His Hands" was ranked at number 92 from CCM Magazine's 2006 book The 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music.
The album peaked at number nine on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. White Heart produced the album themselves. This would be the final album to feature Dann Huff as guitarist and vocalist.
