Release date: 1987
This effervescent song is about finding heaven on Earth in the form of true love. The big backing vocals on the chorus were sung by Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas, prolific hit songwriter Diane Warren (worked with Whitney Houston, Cher, Celine Dion), and the song's writers, Ellen Shipley and songwriter Rick Nowels.
"Heaven Is a Place on Earth" hit number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 on December 5, 1987, becoming Carlisle's only US chart-topper, to date. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1988 but lost to Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)".
