Description: Gloria Weems’ Lovelight is a scarce South African soul and disco release issued by CCP Records in the early 1980s. The album blends smooth soul vocals with dancefloor-oriented disco arrangements typical of the Johannesburg studio scene of the period. Tracks like “Wanna Dance With You” and “Never Give It Up” deliver upbeat groove-driven production, while the title track “Lovelight” leans into a deeper soulful feel.
