You Light Up My Life: Greatest Inspirational Songs (2001)

You Light Up My Life: Greatest Inspirational Songs is a compilation album by American singer Debby Boone. It was released on April 3, 2001 by Curb Records. This collection focuses on Boone's work in the Christian and inspirational music genres, which she became heavily involved in following her mainstream success in the late 1970s. While she is most famous for her 1977 pop hit "You Light Up My Life," she famously interpreted the song as a tribute to God, which set the tone for her subsequent inspirational recordings. It contains the original 1977 recording of the title song of the same album and 11 selections from her Christian music releases, With My Song, Surrender, Choose Life and Friends for Life.
