Heaven Must Have Sent You "Heaven Must Have Sent You " is a song written by Brian Holland , Lamont Dozier , and Eddie Holland when at Motown , and first recorded by The Elgins in 1966. It was also a 1979 disco hit single by Bonnie Pointer .The Elgins The version by the Elgins, released on the Motown subsidiary V.I.P. Records label in 1966, reached #9 on the Billboard R&B chart and #50 on the US Billboard Hot 100 . Popular on the Northern soul scene in the UK , it was reissued in by Tamla Motown in 1971, and reached #3 on the UK Singles Chart . The Elgins' backing vocals were augmented by The Andantes .Chart history Bonnie Pointer "Heaven Must Have Sent You" was one of two remakes of Motown hits recorded by Bonnie Pointer for her 1978 self-titled solo debut album which was released by Motown: Pointer would state: ""I wanted to cut that tune and the other old Motown tune: 'When I'm Gone', simply because I've always dug them." Pointer has stated that she suggested to Berry Gordy that he have her remake "Heaven Must Have Sent You" as a disco track after Pointer had heard the Village People hit "Y.M.C.A." and realized that "Heaven Must Have Sent You" would work well with an arrangement similar to that of "Y.M.C.A". Set to a 12/8 shuffle beat , Pointer's disco version of "Heaven Must Have Sent You" features violins in the background throughout the track: the ringing of rhythmic tubular bells is heard during the into, giving way to a funky bass guitar heard as a refrain throughout the song. The bass guitar part can be heard three times between the verses, and the bells are heard again in the instrumental interlude played mid-song. During the track's outro, Pointer sings "It's heaven, it's heaven, I'll love you more and more each day..." in a lower register with a raspy tone, reminiscent of Louis Armstrong . Pointer had spontaneously "channeled" Armstrong while recording her vocal for the album version of "Heaven Must Have Sent You" and the result was considered sufficiently catchy to be brought forward to the disco version of the song. Issued with an edit of the original album version as B-side , the disco version of Pointer's "Heaven Must Have Sent You" became a hit over the summer and early fall of 1979 peaking at #11 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on Cash Box that October. She also scored a minor hit on the Adult Contemporary chart at #43. The special four-on-the-floor re-recorded Motown Disco 12" Single mix of "Heaven Must Have Sent You" includes a much longer instrumental interlude with extra percussion and string solos towards the middle of the song. It was Side 1, while the album version was Side 2.Chart history Weekly charts Year-end charts Chart Rank Australia 140 Canada 189 US Billboard Hot 100 43 US Cash Box 69
