An overlooked cover tune CXII

Even when it was a hit, I thought radio stations should have played Stevie Wonder's "Love Light In Flight" more often.  Its hook grabs the listener by the ears immediately and sustains its groove throughout the tune.

A cover version of it from last year also deserves more attention.  Carroll V. Dashiell, Jr.'s rendition features classy vocals, an infectious stew of saxophone, piano, and drums, and a strong underpinning of bass.  The integrity of the tune stays firmly intact while being just different enough to intrigue the listener.
