"I Saw the Light" is the opening track from Todd Rundgren's 1972 Something/Anything? album which was one of the first artist-written, -produced and -performed albums. The song is a pastiche of 1960s pop songs and an homage to singer-songwriter Carole King. Rundgren states in the liner notes that he intended the song to be the hit of the album, and copied the Motown tradition of putting the hits at the beginning of albums.
The song was featured in the movie Kingpin.
The song was re-recorded on the Rundgren-fronted The New Cars 2006 album It's Alive!
The song was featured in the TV series Six Feet Under in the "Death Works Overtime" episode and in the pilot of That '70s Show.
