"'People'" is a 1990 song by British R&B band Soul II Soul, released as the third single from their second album, 'Vol. II: 1990 A New Decade' (1990). It features singer Marcia Lewis, who also performed on their previous single "Get a Life", and was a notable hit, peaking at number ten in Italy, number 16 in the Netherlands and number 46 in Germany. It is one of the few songs by the band not to chart in the UK. It reached number three on the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart in the US.

Critical reception



Greg Sandow from 'Entertainment Weekly' noted that the band "sometimes [are] in a more lighthearted mood", as in "People", "where, to the pulse of a house-music beat, comments on crowds passing in the street evoke a vision of the humanity all of us share."
