My Flame reflects a breakup with strong feelings still involved. The song was originally released on Bobby Caldwell’s 1978 debut album What You Won’t Do For Love.

My Flame’s moody xylophone riff became quite a recognizable sample in the 90’s with Biggie’s classic Sky’s the Limit having used it. As well as various cuts by artists including the R&B group Portrait and Rap-A-Lot Records' 5th Ward Boyz.
