I first became aware of Gary Wright’s music when he released the album THE DREAM WEAVER, his third solo effort, in 1875. He was also part of the band Spooky Tooth before that and I love their 1974 album for just the title alone, You Broke My Heart, So… I Busted Your Jaw. It was a bit different from the type of music I generally listened to, what with the lush keyboards and production values. I liked it for some reason though.
Saw him live once in Greensboro where he strutted the stage with a portable keyboard type instrument hanging from around his neck. He was a bit younger then.
These are his two best known songs from that album. He did more albums, but nothing that hit like this release.

Although I don’t have this album. I do frequently listen to the songs Dream Weaver, and My love is alive. Something very catch in both, and the voice is wonderful with the music.

My older sister had this album; I have fond memories listening to it. It was definitely one of those “headphone records” I’d listen to back in the day.

I liked this one a lot too. I remember getting the lyrics in a copy of SONG HITS magazine and thinking I was quite special for knowing them.
