Their second album: six tracks, with "500 Miles High", "Captain Marvel" and "Spain".
Return to Forever, 1973
Light as a Feather has six tracks: "You're Everything" (words by Neville Potter), "Light as a Feather" (by Stanley Clarke, words by Flora Purim), "Captain Marvel", "500 Miles High" (words by Potter), "Children's Song" and "Spain", the last of 9:51. The players were Corea on Fender Rhodes, Clarke on double bass, Purim on vocals and percussion, Farrell on flute and saxes and Moreira on drums and percussion. It reached 6 on the Billboard jazz albums chart; AllMusic's Michael Nastos gave it five stars.
Corea's site calls it Brazilian-flavored jazz with new versions of "500 Miles High" and "Captain Marvel", and Belgium's RTBF notes that Purim and Moreira left after this album. Wikipedia says it won the 1972 Playboy jazz album of the year.
