"Pennies from Heaven" is a 1992 song by Inner City, which was released as a single from their album Praise. Despite the song's title, it is not a cover of the 1936 song of the same name.
About the song
It became Inner City's fifth and final number-one single on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, reaching the top of the chart in August 1992 for two weeks.[1][2] In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number 24.
Critical reception
Billboard wrote about the song: "After teasing U.S. club DJs with several tasty imports over the past few months, Detroit duo finally unleashes this slammin' deep houser domestically. Paris Grey is in fine voice, rising above a textured arrangement that's lightly shaded with techno nuances. A major hit in the offing."[3]
Music video
The music video featured people from all walks of life being invited by the duo for what will be a final meal, which at the end of the video resembled a portrait of The Last Supper.[citation needed]
