About The Record:

Good Day, by Lighthouse, marked a transitional period for the Canadian jazz-rock band, with Skip Prokop switching from drums to guitar and Billy King taking over as drummer. The album, which went gold in Canada, featured lead vocals split between Prokop and Ralph Cole, showcasing a mix of upbeat and laid-back tracks, including the minor hit single Good Day. Another notable track, Wide-Eyed Lady, was co-written by former vocalist Bob McBride, adding to the album’s diverse sound. Historically significant for being one of the band’s final studio efforts before Prokop’s departure, it reflected their struggle to maintain commercial success amid comparisons to American bands like Chicago. The album’s recording at Thunder Sound Studios was halted when Prokop left, leaving it incomplete and underscoring the band’s challenges during this era.
