"I Saw the Light" is the opening track from Todd Rundgren's 1972 Something/Anything? double album. The song is a pastiche of 1960s pop songs and a homage to singer-songwriters Laura Nyro and Carole King.[citation needed]

In the liner notes to Something/Anything?, Rundgren states that he intended the song to be the hit of the album, and copied the Motown tradition of putting hit songs at the beginning of albums. Rundgren's version peaked at #16 on the Billboard Hot 100[1] and #36 on the UK Singles Chart. However, in the US at least, Something/Anything? actually contained a bigger hit than "I Saw The Light", as the album's third single "Hello It's Me" climbed to #5

Músicos grandiosos, gozan y se divierten con su virtuosismo. Gracias por compartir. El concepto de Ringo, con Todd y el resto de su banda es maravilloso. Qué generoso es Ringo al invitar a sus amigos.

Todd told Greil Marcus (I think) that he needed a hit, so he listened to Carole King's then mega-monster album and just =imitated= her. If you know her work back then, you can hear this for exactly what it is.
