Just had to butt in... no, Return to Forever's "Light as a Feather" did not
have "Dindi" on it... Flora sang that on her first solo album on Fantasy,
"Butterfly Dreams" which was produced by Stanley Clarke. I think the
confusion resulted because both Flora's album also has a version of "Light
As A Feather" (written actually by Clarke and Purim, not Chick Corea).

Both albums have Airto Moreira on *drums*... quite a lesson in Brazillian
style drumming.
