Originally a forerunner of the late 1970s/early 1980s British jazz-funk movement, the band's name is taken from the 1974 Kool and the Gang album, Light of Worlds. The band recorded demo tracks and after being played in a few clubs by DJ Tom Holland, the tracks were heard by fellow DJ Chris Hill, producer of Ensign Records. The band were given a recording contract and recorded their debut album Light of the World.
They recorded their most popular album, ‘Round Trip’, with producer Augie Johnson. Gee Bello and Nat Augustin in a contract with EMI Records, recorded album called Check Us Out which yielded the popular track 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. They also announced the first new album from the band in twenty years entitled ‘Jazz Funk Power’.
Great Soulful tunes with a nostalgic feel but remaining contemporary, reaching into the past to bring us what the present needs
