Beam of Light (Patricia Paay album)

In 1975, Paay returned to working as a solo artist after spending two years as the lead singer of the Dutch music band Heart, who were signed to the EMI-Bovema label.

The album was recorded with contributions from members of Cockney Rebel, primarily Jim Cregan on guitar and Duncan Mackay on keyboards.

Bassist George Ford and drummer Stuart Elliott play on three tracks, while others feature Herbie Flowers on bass and Tony Newman on drums.

[9] On its release in the UK, Alan Harris of the Burton Observer & Chronicle praised the album as "excellent" and a "fine package", with Paay presenting herself as a "strong vocal talent".

He wrote, "Paay's voice is clear and sweet, yet powerful, enabling her to sail majestically through tracks such as Bob Dylan's 'Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window', Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' and Ian Samwell's 'Love Where Are You Now That I Need You'."
