He composed the mega-hit song You Light Up My Life for the film of the same name that he also wrote, directed and produced. In October of 1977 "You Light Up My Life" reached #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 popularity charts where it held the top position for 10 consecutive weeks, which was then the longest run at #1 in the chart's history. With sales of over four million copies in the United States alone, the song ultimately became the biggest hit of the 1970s. It also hit #1 Adult Contemprary and was even a Top 10 'Country' single. The passionate ballad also earned Brooks a Grammy Award for Song Of The Year as well as an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Golden Globe Award and an American Society of Composer, Authors and Publishers Award.
