"Ghetto Heaven" is a song by American soul and R&B group the Family Stand, released in 1990 by Atlantic Records as the group's debut single, from their second album, Chain (1989). The song features vocals by lead-singer Sandra St. Victor, who also co-wrote it, and was an international hit, peaking at number ten in the UK in April 1990. Eight years later, in January 1998, the song again charted on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 30. Additionally, it was a top-10 hit in Luxembourg and a top-20 hit in New Zealand. Its accompanying music video featured the group performing in an urban city setting. American band Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam sampled "Ghetto Heaven" on their 1991 hit "Let the Beat Hit 'Em".
