Re: Gary Wright
His last Top 40 song was "Really Wanna Know You" (from 1981 "The Right Place") that went to # 17 in September of 1981. Got his 2010 "Connected" which was his last studio album which I downloaded on Apple iTunes.

Re: Gary Wright
Saw Gary in 2016 with Al Stewart at the Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio. I got to meet him afterward. He was nice. He was actually a great blues rock musician that might be better than the Dream Weaver album.

Re: Gary Wright
I know he played with the All Starr Band in 2008, but can't recall if I saw that one live.
I always thought the Dream Weaver album was cool in the sense that it was recorded with all keyboards, aside from live drums and a guitar solo by Ronnie Montrose. He didn't have too much luck after that album. I bought "Touch and Go" a few years ago on a whim and it isn't as good.

He did some nice keyboard work on the George Harrison album Living in the Material World (1973).
