Hand in Hand (Grace song)

"Hand in Hand" is a 1997 song by British dance act Grace. It was released as their 6th solo single on Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto label. The song was written and originally performed by electronic music group Opus III. It reached number 38 in the UK charts[1], number 32 in Scotland and number 85 in the Eurochart Hot 100.[2] Remixes of the song included a complete reworking of the song by Jam El Mar of European dance act Jam & Spoon.[3] Two videos for the song were released, of the Oakenfold and Osborne Radio Mix and an unreleased Eddy Fingers Edit. The Guardian called it "Grace's strongest single to date."[3] But The Baltimore Sun thought the song had "too much exuberance."[4]
