Stand (In the Light)
# Stand (In the Light)

Stand (In the Light) is the fifth and final album by singer-songwriter James Ingram. It was released on an independent label, Intering Records, fifteen years after his last record, "Always You".

It is notable for his cover of the song "Everything Must Change" and for featuring a remake of his duet with Michael McDonald, "Yah Mo B There". "Everything Must Change" was originally recorded by its writer Benard Ighner for the 1974 Quincy Jones album "Body Heat" and was covered by a huge variety of singers including Oleta Adams on her 1990 album Circle of One.
