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".

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.
