About This Track

“Higher Ground” is a 1989 cover by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, originally written by Stevie Wonder. The song was released as the second single from their fourth studio album Mother’s Milk and is considered to be a significant component of the Chili Peppers’ success; even earning the band an MTV Video Award nomination.

The song is featured in the films Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995), Center Stage (2000), Walking Tall (2004) and The Longest Yard (2005). This version has also been played in a season one episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

As part of the “Year of a Million Dreams” Celebration, Space Mountain at Disneyland in Anaheim, California used this song as its soundtrack for 16 weeks, from January 3, 2007 to April 26, 2007.

British magazine Total Guitar named it the second greatest cover ever in 2000

    I always remember this song playing in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as their rollerblading.

    Did RHCP give a shout out to Stevie in the song itself? Near the end before the "outro"?

    Red Hot Chilli Peppers cover? This ought to be sacrilegious. To each his own though. They did their own thing.

    @crispolly What? How can people talk about the song like that? This version is just heavier and rockish, but by any means...this cover wouldn't have existed if Stevie wouldn't sang it and composed it in first place :c
