Take the High Ground

A song about giving someone a second chance, and then actually giving someone a second chance in real life. That what happened with Stevie Wonder and his song Higher Ground. The song is about being given a second chance and making the most of it. Three months later a log truck lost control and slammed into a car that Wonder was riding in, causing him to go into a coma. The song was played in Wonder's ear while in the coma and he started to tap his fingers to the beat. When he finally woke up, he accepted the truck driver's apology and acted like it's something that happens everyday. Talk about giving someone a second chance. This song hit #1 on the U.S. Billboard R&B Singles, and #4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Check it out here: Until next time, roll the Mellow Dice and hope for Midnight.
