Healing Hands was the final hit single of the 1980s for British pop-star Elton John. The single was released during the late-summer of 1989, and was a top-twenty hit in the US. It was paired as a double A-side single with "Sacrifice", which became Elton's first solo number 1 single in the UK. The song was inspired by The Four Top's song "Reach Out, I'll Be There".
[edit] Technical Details
Musically, the song is complex, with the verses in the key of B flat, and the chorus in the key of D major. An instrumental solo, in the related minor key of G minor, serves as a bridge.
