Description
You Light Up My Life is the solo debut album by the American pop singer Debby Boone, released on Warner Bros. Records in 1977. The album was produced by Bob Gaudio (track A6), Joseph Brooks (tracks: A1 to A3, A5), Michael Lloyd (tracks: B1 to B3, B5), and Mike Curb (tracks: A4, B1 to B6). A Product of Mike Curb Productions.
After the title track reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Boone needed to quickly assemble her first solo album. The result was a RIAA-certified platinum album (No. 6 Pop, No. 6 Country). (The single held the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks in 1977, setting a new record for that time and actually become the biggest single of the 1970s in the United States. As well, it topped Record World magazine’s Top 100 Singles Chart for a record of 13 weeks. Following the success of Boone’s version, the song earned songwriter Joseph “Joe” Brooks a Grammy Award for Song of the Year, an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and an American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) award.)
Featuring a cover of “Your Love Broke Through”, a song written by Keith Green, Todd Fishkind, and Randy Stonehill.
