Flying High On Your Love is an album by the Memphis, Tennessee-based funk band the Bar-Kays.
Released on Mercury Records in the fall of 1977, the album charted at number seven on the Billboard Soul Album charts. It was the first album by the band to be certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of over 500,000 copies in the United States.[1] Considered by many fans to be the Bar-Kays' best album overall, if featured two hit singles, "Let's Have Some Fun" and "Attitudes", as well as popular track "You Can't Run Away," which received significant radio play. The album opener "Shut the Funk Up", and its closing title track "Flying High on Your Love" were equally popular. The album's success, along with their previous album, and acclaimed concert performances on tour with Parliament-Funkadelic, established the Bar-Kays as one of the key bands of the funk genre in the late 1970s.
