"Higher Ground" reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the US Hot R&B Singles chart. Wonder wrote and recorded the song in a three-hour burst of creativity in May 1973. The album version of the song contains an extra verse and runs 30 seconds longer than the single version. The unique wah-clavinet sound in the song was achieved with a Mu-Tron III envelope filter pedal. The bass line is provided by a Moog synthesizer and using overdubs, Wonder played all instruments on the track, including drums and percussion.
Release Date: 1973 on the album Innervisions
A cappella singing is hot! This Stevie Wonder funk hit from 1973 was written before his accident but Wonder said, Something must have been telling me that something was going to happen to make me aware of a lot of things and to get myself together. It's a great message of second chances delivered in a vessel of vocal excitement!
Voicing: SATB
This reimagining of Stevie Wonder's hit song brings a completely fresh take to a familiar tune. Inspired by the power of Wonder's poetry and spiritual message, the Podd brothers have taken a stirring and creative approach to the tempo, harmonies, and accompaniment, bringing together a fusion of styles that draw from concert spirituals, jazz, and gospel music.
