Sunlight is a 1977 Jazz-funk fusion album by keyboardist Herbie Hancock. Originally a UK import album, it features Hancock's vocals through a vocoder as well as performances by drummer Tony Williams and bassist Jaco Pastorius.
The album produced a UK single entitled "I Thought It Was You" which was mildly received at the time by jazz listeners. As a whole the album tends to lay more toward funk than a jazz record, and is reminiscent of much of the electro-funk of the time. This release marks the beginning of the 1980's electro-era style that was more refined in Herbie's later albums such as Future Shock and Sound-System.
