Also known for Pete's Crusade, I shot The Sheriff, I'm so Happy.
They recorded iconic albums Famous Faces and Round Trip with Gee Bello and Nat Augustin before releasing No 1 Girl. In 1999 Light of the World recorded an album Inner Voices and 20 years later, Light Of The World featuring Gee Bello, Nat Augustin and Mel Gaynor released an EP in August 2020 called Temperatures Rising which reached Number 1 on Amazon Hot Releases in R&B digital chart.
