Wikipedia
"Flash Light" is a song by funk band Parliament, written by George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, and Bootsy Collins and released on January 28, 1978, on the album Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome. It was the first No. 1 R&B hit by any of the P-Funk groups and spent four months on the U.S. pop chart, peaking at No. 16.
"Flash Light" (also called "Flashlight") is the final song on Parliament’s 1977 album Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome. The song finishes the album’s story of the group’s quest to defeat the evil Sir Nose d'Voidoffunk, coercing him to dance.
The track became Parliament's second certified million-selling single, following "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof Off the Sucker)". "Flash Light" also gave Casablanca Records its first No. 1 R&B hit. In New Zealand, the song reached #3 and is ranked as the No. 8 hit of 1978. "Flash Light" also charted in Canada (No. 24) and reached No. 3 on WLS-AM in Chicago.
