Nice clean NZ pressed album with a good cover showing minor shelf wear.

You Light Up My Life is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released in March 1978 by Columbia Records.[4] It made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's & Tapes chart in the issue dated April 1, 1978, and remained there for 24 weeks, peaking at number 9[5] while in the meantime receiving Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America on May 2 and Platinum certification two months later, on July 6.[6] It also made it to number 3 during a 19-week run on the UK album chart,[7] and on June 30 of that year the British Phonographic Industry awarded the album with Gold certification for sales of over 100,000 units in the UK.[8]

The single from the album, "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late", had its chart debut on Billboard magazine's list of the 100 most popular R&B singles in the US in the issue dated March 4, 1978, where it lasted for 20 weeks, four of which were spent at number one.[9] The following issue, dated March 11, marked its first appearance on the magazine's list of the 50 most popular Easy Listening records in the US, where it enjoyed one week out of the 19 it spent there in the top spot.[10] On March 25 it became a new entry on the UK singles chart, where it got as high as number three over the course of 14 weeks.[11] Billboard's April 1 issue saw the debut of the song on the Hot 100, where it stayed for 18 weeks, one of which was at number one.[12] Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America was awarded the following month, on May 2, for what was then the required sales of one million units in the US,[13] and Silver certification by the British Phonographic Industry was issued for sales of over 250,000 units in the UK.[8]
