Oliver sings this digitally remastered song of his titled "Firelight" which was released on United Artists Records as part of his album, "Prisms", in 1971. As with many of his original songs, his passion and love comes through in both lyric and music.
HERE'S BILL'S NOTES FROM THE ALBUM JACKET:
I WROTE THIS SONG TO PERFORM ON THE DELLA REESE SHOW SEVERAL MONTH AGO. AFTER A BIG INTRODUCTION FROM DELLA, I BEGAN THE SONG AND FORGOT THE LYRIC AND CHORD PROGRESSION ABOUT TWO THIRDS THROUGH. EVER BLOWN ANYTHING IN FRONT OF SIX MILLION???
This video is released as part of the celebration of life for William Oliver Swofford (2/22/1945 - 2/12/2000); It's being provided as a small gesture of my humble respect and love for this magnificent man taken from us too soon, yet he left these bits of evidence of his short but accomplished, admirable and humbled life. #BeLikeBill
