Paul Hardcastle and Derek Green founded the band First Light (1st Light) at the end of 1982.

Their released also two albums "1st Light" and the Best Of release "Daybreak".
After their 1984 last release "Daybreak", which includes last single "Wish You Were Here", Paul and Derek had a big conflict about the money, but they also had no more musical material for future releases. Derek Green moved from this band and Paul Hardcastle continued alone. They worked only one year together.
In 1988 / 89, Hardcastle resumed working on First Light. He wrote for and produced the project on his own. Kevin Henry was the (new) featuring vocalist and together they released 4 singles "Loving You", "You had it all", "Right or Wrong" and "So easy" and the album "You had it all".
