What song did Chris Doughtry sing in american idol that was by Red Hot Chili Peppers?

Answer 1

The song is called Higher Ground and the Red Hot Chili Peppers actually covered it. The original artist to record this song was Stevie Wonder.

Answer 2

It was Higher Ground off their album Mother's Milk. It's a Stevie Wonder cover, since the idols were doing Stevie Wonder songs that night. Chris is a rock guy, so he just sang the RHCP version instead. It's a really cool song with an awesome video.
