{1}"Heaven" first appeared in 1983, on the sountrack album for the movie [A Night in Heaven] and received substantial airplay on album-oriented rock radio stations. It entered and reached #9 on [Billboard's Rock Tracks] chart in early 1984. It was released as the third single from the album [Reckless] in April 1985, and in the U.S. reached #1 on the [Billboard Hot 100.] In Canada, it reached the top twenty on the [Canadian Singles Chart] and remained there for a full month. The song was also released in the U.K., Australia, Europe and New Zealand in 1985. In the U.K. it hit the top forty and continued its trend as a higher-charting single when it reached the top twenty in most of the European countries in which it charted. The music video was shot in London, England, and was directed by Steve Barron. It features Adams singing the song in a live concert setting; behind him, stacked video monitors show his band playing along. Video monitors also occupy each seat of the otherwise empty theater. The video was nominated for an [MTV Video Music Award for Best Cinematography.]

• {2}Personnel performing on this recording:
• Bryan Adams (piano, percussion, lead vocals)
• Keith Scott (guitar)
• Rob Sabino (keyboards)
• Dave Taylor (bass)
• Steve Smith (drums) An interesting side note: Half-way through the recording session drummer Mickey Curry announced that he had to leave since he had committed in advance to a Hall & Oates session and the "Heaven" recording session was running behind schedule. Adams called Journey drummer, Steve Smith, who happened to be in New York at the time and he filled Curry's drumming position.
