From the "way out in left field" department, you might also want to check "Ring

Oh, what the heck, check it out even if that's not it...it's a great song....r

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the OP is looking for a song with the
lyrics, "She A light". Your guess is "Shine THE light".

In the early 60's in Buffalo there was a bar called Johnny's Ellicott with a black R&B group called "Johnny and the Cowboys", played that song.....Shine Your Light On Me..... and some of the best gritty R&B ever. Only place I ever heard it.

Hi Peter,

Probably we are searching for the same band. I found the song from tube with some video, but only under the name The Assassins. Singer on leather pants, bass player on left, quitarist on right.It seems to me that video has been filmed on some club. So far I have not been able to find anything more. Any luck with you?
Song is damn good!

Could be Bob Dylan's "Precious Angel" in which he sings:

Shine your light
Shine your light on me
Shine your light
Shine your light on me

I know it is years away from your query but I think that it could be Shine a Light on Me by Banners. If you search on You Tube for Shine a Light on Me, you may recognise the song but saying this, as my reply is about 11 years following your query, the song that I have found may not even have been composed! Ooops! This is still a really great song though. I though that it was Cold Play at first.

Strange. In the title of this thread the OP is looking for a 70s/80s
song.

When I just heard it, I would have sworn it was a 70s song, but it was
released in 1994!

This post is hilarious. Just heard the song on the radio. Did a Google search to come across this post. Simple minds is the answer to the song I was listening to. But will we ever find out if it's what Mr Walker was after.
Anyone know the song starting from 3.15 on this video? http://youtu.be/C2NkjeI1c18 Same lyrics and I'm stumped.
"Love Is All (Shine Your Light On Me)" by Roxette

Hi, Im trying to determine the band who sings a song with the following
---
shine a light
shine a light
shine a light on me
---
... and no its not the midnight special van morrison song. There is a guy
singing it and the song has a semi-punchy beat to it. I have been searching
google for it but to no avail...
Any help most appreciated!
Thanks! Peter
I guessed before and still think this is Bob Dylan's "Perfect Angel" which used that "Shine a light..." chorus and was from the very same time period you asked about...

Hey Peter. The song is Midnight Special. It's just the CCR version. That's the punch you hear. Glad to help.

Not sure if this the one Peter is looking for, but I have been. I couldn't believe a common song played day in and day out on the radio in the "70's", could not be found on the internet. Part of the melody, or very similar, is in the movie "Pulp Fiction". This is what made me remember it even existed. Lyrics..."Well she's got this love light...that she shines on me....she can make me feel anyway she wants to, any time that she turns me on.. don't you know that you can count me out..... when I'm blue tell you what I do... I call love light... I said love light... love light love light love light.. Shine your love light on me...

I have been looking for (the same?) song for ages, which has exactly the same lyrics as the one mentioned in this discussion. However, the song I am looking for is tecnho/dance song from late 80s or early 90s. It has a funky ongoing piano beat, and the lyrics are pretty much repeating itself with the "shine a light, shine a light on me".

My friend had this song on a c--cassette in his first car (a cool Toyota Celica from 1979:D), and I would to hear it again. I have checked all the ideas given to Peter in this thread, but no luck so far.

Please help me and Peter out if you have any ides

Cheers,
Patrik

PWalker,

I was looking for a song like this too.
For me, I realized it was U2 and found:
"The Three Sunrises", appears on the album "The Unforgettable Fire"

Ah, I finally found what I was looking for...

I don't know if the OP is even around anymore but I had a song that I was looking for with similar lyrics and you guys helped me find it. So thank you all for that and for all the other amazing songs that I found while trying to find mine. Oh by the way, for me it was Prison Grove by Warren Zevon.

Do the lyrics have the lines “Shine a light on me, don’t leave me in the dark... also “I read the papers between the lines but it don’t help to ease my mind”...” Cause the nitrates and the glutamates”

I heard a kind of gritty / soulful rendition of a song that was a gospel song in the early 80’s. The lyrics were approximately:

Searchlight, turn you light on me...when I’m not what I seem to be.
Turn your light on me...turn your light on my sin...turn your light on me... let it shine on in

If this is it, I am still in touch with the musician and could ask about the song

The song is shine a light on me from the rock band Sumo. Probably you never found it because the title is in Spanish brilla tu luz para mi - Sumo
I am pretty sure is the song you are looking :)

The grey turned into gold
Just when the day was getting old
"Blonde on Blonde" Dylan knew
Just I was going through
Shine that light on me
Shine that light on me
Blue skies fade away
When the heat of the night hits the day
King of darkness
King of fear
Don't try to get me
You won't get near
Shine that light on me
Shine that light on me
Come back sweetness
Come back to stay
You're my light inside
Don't hide away
Shine that light on me...
