Bonnie Pointer - Heaven Must Have Sent You (Remix) / Heaven Must Have Sent You (Album Version) (1979) - single

Patricia Eva "Bonnie" Pointer (born July 11, 1950) is an American R&B and disco singer, most notable for being the next-to-youngest member of the 1970s and 1980s family music group, The Pointer Sisters. She scored several moderate solo hits after leaving the Pointers in 1977.
"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.
Bonnie Pointer's version reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1979. A 12/8 shuffle, it begins with rhythmic tubular bells ringing. Violins supply the background for the entire song. After the bells, a funky bass guitar is played, as a refrain throughout the song. This can be heard three times between the verses. In the middle of the song, an instrumental interlude is played, with the tubular bells ringing. At the end of the song, Pointer sings her last lines "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 Al Jolson.
