Grammys 2023: Stevie Wonder calls on Chris Stapleton for 'Higher Ground' duet

The Grammy Awards took viewers to the crossroads of Hitsville U.S.A. and Music City with a one-of-a-kind collaboration between Motown legend Stevie Wonder and country powerhouse Chris Stapleton.

The two sang "Higher Ground" together with Wonder behind the keyboard and Stapleton on guitar. The singers swapped verses and shared the time-tested chorus during a fiery performance that sent a crowd of peers and admirers howling from the first note onward.
