You Light Up My Life (album)
After the song "You Light Up My Life" soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, singer Debby Boone needed to quickly assemble her first solo album. The result was the RIAA-certified platinum album, You Light Up My Life (No. 6 Pop, No. 6 Country). Joe Brooks produced the album after writing and producing the title track. This album competed on the Billboard 200 with the soundtrack from the film, You Light Up My Life (No. 17 Pop). Boone's album was ultimately more successful since the soundtrack did not include Boone's hit version of the title song.
Several tracks from Boone's album were previously recorded by Boone with her sisters as part of their work as the Boones. The album's closing track, "Hasta Mañana", written and recorded by ABBA, had charted earlier in 1977 for the Boones peaking at No. 32 AC. "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes" was released two years earlier in 1975 by the Boones reaching No. 25 AC. The track "Baby, I'm Yours" was released as the credited B-side of Boone's third single, "God Knows" (No. 74 Pop, No. 22 Country, No. 14 AC), from her second album, Midstream.

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or life:
“The light passes
from ridge to ridge,
from flower to flower.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“I feel the desire to be with you all the time. Oh, an occasional absence of a week or two is a good thing to give one the happiness of meeting again, but this living apart is in all ways bad. We have had our share of separate life during the four years of war. There is nothing in the small ambition of Congressional life, or in the gratified vanity which it sometimes affords, to compensate for separation from you. We must manage to live together hereafter. I can’t stand this, and will not.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
