The Motor City Always Had It!!!

Higher and Higher would be a hit in the UK in 1969 #11, 1975 #25, and 1987 #15.
Let’s just say both Jackie Wilson’s song and the Red Wings are like the energizer bunny. They just keep going and going.
Higher and Higher was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
It keeps Detroit Native born Wilson’s memory alive as the Detroit Red Wings keep their home winning steak alive.
With 5 seconds left in regulation Pavel Datsyuk spun circles around the Nashville Predators defense and scored one of his classic pretty goals.
Keep it going….
