"Pennies from Heaven" is a song by American electronic music group Inner City, released in 1992 as the third single from their fourth album, Praise (1992). Despite the title, it is not a cover of the 1936 song of the same name. It is written by group members Kevin Saunderson and Paris Grey, and produced by Saunderson. The song became the duo's fifth and final number-one single on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, reaching the top of the chart in August 1992 for two weeks. In the UK, it peaked at number 24 on the UK Singles Chart, while reaching number two on the Music Week Dance Singles chart. The accompanying 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. British magazine Mixmag ranked "Pennies from Heaven" number 62 in its "100 Greatest Dance Singles Of All Time" list in 1996.
