Been a bit of a crazy summer medically for me and I missed a lot of things going on, both good and bad.

I didn't realize that Gary Wright had passed at 80 years old on September 4, 2023.

Gary was born in New Jersey and started as a child actor at age 7 on television, and then started acting on Broadway before being cast on the Brady Bunch for several years.

He was a musician from an early age and decided to back up that career by becoming a doctor! He then went to Germany to study and specialize in psychology.

All this time he was in many bands and the most notable was Spooky Tooth. He also played on former Beatle George Harrison's album, All Things Must Pass. He even went to India with George for some musical events.

In the 1970's he went solo and his most famous song is probably Dream Weaver in 1975.

I had the pleasure of photographing him in 1977. It was a nice show with great lighting and numerous fog machines. It made for good photos!

Thanks,
