Love Light in Flight - Misplaced Pages

"Love Light in Flight" is a song written, produced, and performed by American R&B singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder. It was released in 1984, from The Woman in Red soundtrack. It peaked at number 4 on Billboard Black Singles, number 1 on the RPM Adult Contemporary chart, and number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 for February 2, 1985.

Cash Box called it a return to "sultry funk" that "is certain to delight those Stevie fans (few though they might be) who found 'I Just Called To Say I Love You' a trifle bland compared to vintage Wonder." Billboard similarly said that "old fans may find this one even more enticing than 'I Just Called...'"
