Light as a Feather

Music is by Stanley Clarke and lyrics by Flora Purim. Chick Corea's site says the title track is said to be Clarke's first major composing effort; Purim sings the lyrics heard at the beginning and end, and Corea, Clarke and Farrell solo over the changes. The Return to Forever track runs 10:57 and was recorded at IBC Studios on October 8 and 15, 1972, though per-track dates are not documented. Purim re-recorded it as the closing track of her solo debut Butterfly Dreams (1973), at 5:44. A German profile in Jüdische Allgemeine says she recorded it when her daughter was only a few weeks old, which conflicts loosely with the daughter's reported birth around 1971. We found no covers, samples or setlist counts, and cannot tell which version our upload is, the Return to Forever track, the 1973 solo version or a live take.
