Description from Wikipedia:
"(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" is a song performed by American R&B artist Jackie Wilson, from his 1967 album of the same name. It was written by Gary Jackson, Raynard Miner and Carl Smith, and produced by Carl Davis. The song spent 12 weeks on the U.S. Billboard Top 40 singles chart and peaked at #6.
Motown's in-house band The Funk Brothers and session singers The Andantes were asked to play on this track. This may be why the song has a Motown style to it.
Jackie Wilson's definitive version was ranked #246 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
A 1967 recording by Otis Redding was released in 1969, 18 months after Mr. Redding's death, as the B-side of his "Free Me" single (Atco single #6700). This version reached #30 on the R&B charts, and #103 on the pop charts. The Move covered the song in 1968. In 1970, the short lived Canadian band; Canada Goose, made up from members of The Esquires, which had disbanded, recorded the song as Higher & Higher. In 1977, Rita Coolidge recorded this song as "(Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher and Higher." Her version peaked at #2 on the Billboard singles chart, with appeal to light rock stations (#5 easy listening).
