Biography

Gary Wright was born in Creskill, New Jersey on April 26, 1943. He began his career in show business debuting on the "Captain Video" show in New York at age seven. He also made a living appearing in radio and television commercials before appearing in the play "Fanny." At this time he also started taking piano and organ lessons, which led to him joining several bands while he was in high school. Upon graduation he went to college to study psychology, first in New York, then in Berlin.

While in Europe, he met Englishman Mike Harrison, which led to the formation of the progressive/hard rock band Spooky Tooth. When the band temporarily disbanded in 1970, Wright became a solo artist and formed the band Wonderwheel. During this period he played in sessions for other artists, most notably on the George Harrison classic "All Things Must Pass."

In 1973, Spooky Tooth reunited, but they broke up again in 1974. Wright resumed his solo career, this time with more success. He released the keyboard-dominated Dream Weaver in 1975, which yielded two number-two singles, the title track and "Love is Alive." Today, Wright continues to perform both as a solo artist and as a sometime member of Ringo Starr's All-Stars.
