In 1975, while working at a burger place, one of the girls gave me a Gary Wright 8-track for Christmas (employee exchange). I wasn't that much into him and exchanged it at the store for a Doobie Brothers Stampede 8-track.
Dreamweaver was OK - I'll post a couple of his videos that I liked

Judas Priest covered a song by Spooky Tooth (written by Wright) called Better By You, Better Than Me on their fourth album.
RIP to the Dream Weaver.

June 13, 1976 at RFK Stadium in D.C. I saw Pousette-Dart Band (?), Peter Frampton, Gary Wright, and Yes. I like my rock with more of an edge, but I knew Gary Wright from his work with Spooky Tooth (”You Broke My Heart, So I Busted Your Jaw”). Frampton was way past his days with Humble Pie and Steve Marriott, and Yes were in their “Roundabout” tour. All in all, a pretty laidback day. Peace man....

I saw Gary Wright’s band in 74 or 75. It was the third concert I ever went to after Neil Young and Crazy Horse, then Alvin Lee and Ten Years After in the old Orlando Sports Arena, which was basically a tin warehouse. Interestingly, Wright’s band had NO guitars. Only keyboards and drums. Sounded fantastic as I recall.

I didn’t know until recently that Wright played the keyboards on Harry Nilsson’s rendition of “Without You”.
RIP.
