O backing track de "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" foi gravado em 6 de julho de 1967, no estúdio Columbia em Chicago, com membros do Funk Brothers – James Jamerson, Richard “Pistol” Allen, Robert White e Johnny Griffith – que trabalhavam para Motown e recebiam pagamento em dinheiro por sessão.
A produção foi conduzida por Carl Davis, que relatou que o trio de cantores Andantes – Jackie Hicks, Marlene Barrow e Pat Lewis – também participavam da sessão, contribuindo com vocais de apoio ao estilo soul.
Jackie Wilson gravou a voz principal em única tomada depois que Davis insistiu que o trecho fosse “pular e acompanhar a percussão”, ao contrário da interpretação inicial dele como uma balada de soul.
A canção alcançou o #1 nas paradas R&B de 1967, subiu até o #6 no pop em novembro do mesmo ano, e foi estimada em até quatro milhões de cópias vendidas nos Estados Unidos.
Em 1999, a música foi inserida na Grammy Hall of Fame e posicionou-se em #246 na lista de The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time da Rolling Stone.
