The single was released during the late-summer of 1989, and was a top-20 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.[3] The song was inspired by the Four Tops song "Reach Out, I'll Be There".[4] Produced by Chris Thomas, it was the first of three singles released from the album, with the follow-ups being "Sacrifice" and "Club at the End of the Street". "Healing Hands" did moderately well as a single in the United States, climbing to #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart on the week of 21 October 1989 (dislodging Madonna's "Cherish" from the #1 position). The song failed to make the UK Top 40 on its initial release, as did the follow-up, "Sacrifice". However, after Steve Wright of BBC Radio One added "Sacrifice" to his station's playlist, "Sacrifice" was re-released in the UK as a double A-side with "Healing Hands". The double A-side record topped the UK chart for five weeks starting 23 June 1990, becoming the first solo #1 UK hit of Elton John's career.
