"(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher" [1967] - Jackie Wilson
This classic R&B song was released 52 years ago this month.
It was one of singer Jackie Wilson's greatest hits, reaching #1 on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart and #6 on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the U.S. Cash Box Top 100 charts.
The song was also a hit in a number of other countries, rising to #2 in Canada, #11 in the UK, and #12 in Ireland.
In 1999, Wilson's recording of "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The video (posted above) of Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth dancing together while the song plays is fun to watch. Can't remember if I posted it before, but it doesn't matter as it's such an awesome video that it's well worth posting a second time.
