Court and Spark is the sixth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. It was an immediate commercial and critical success—and remains her most successful album. Released in January 1974, it has been described as pop, but also infuses Mitchell's folk rock style, which she had developed through her previous five albums, with jazz inflections.

Perhaps the greatest album ever made. The music, the personal lyrics, to talk about it only diminishes the genius of this album.

It always seems so righteous at the start

When there’s so much laughter when there’s so much spark ⚡️

When there’s so much sweetness in the dark 🌠
