Gary Wright--Dream Weaver (1976)

    Gary Wright was first known professionally as an actor. In 1954 he played Florence Henderson's son in the production of Fanny, but was focusing on music by the late 50's. Wright traveled to Europe to study, but instead became the keyboardist and singer of the British band, Spooky Tooth in 67. He recorded a couple of solo albums in 71 and 72,  but remained in the band until 1974. His big year was 1976 as he reached #2 on  the charts with "Dream Weaver" and "Love Is Alive", after that having another half dozen singles reach the top 100. He has been seen in several incarnations of Ringo Starr's All-Star Band over the last few years.
