“Higher Ground” by Stevie Wonder, covered by Red Hot Chili Peppers
The mark of a good cover song is whether or not it elevates the original, while paying homage to it. RHCP did this back in 1989 with their cover of Stevie Wonder’s funky humanitarian theme song, “Higher Ground.”
However, true to form, Anthony Kiedis and company injected their version with sex, fun and serious some amps.
