Gary Wright - Musician
Gary Wright (born Gary Malcolm Wright, April 26, 1943, Cresskill, New Jersey) is an American musician, best known for his song, "Dream Weaver. He was the piano player on Harry Nilsson's version of "Without You". Wright was born and raised in Cresskill, New Jersey, and attended Tenafly High School. A former child actor, Wright appeared in the 1954 original Broadway production of the long-running musical, Fanny (888 performances), having originated the role of Acolyte and then subsequently replacing Lloyd Reese in the role of Cesario, the son of Fanny. The title role of Fanny was originated by Florence Henderson who later gained worldwide fame as matriarch Carol Brady in the long-running TV series, The Brady Bunch. According to Henderson, Reese had to be replaced by Wright because (in her own words): "He (Reese) was a New York boy and puberty struck very early. It wasn't long till he looked like my boyfriend!" In 1959, Wright made his first recording as part of a duo along with Billy Markle (being billed as Gary & Billy) for the 20th Century Fox Records label. The songs released were "Working After School" and "Lisa". In the 1960s, Wright went to Europe to continue studying psychology. In 1967, he joined the band Spooky Tooth as singer and keyboardist. In 1970 Wright was involved as a record producer with the Liverpool based folk music band, Arrival, and was also a member of the folk rock band Howl the Good who had played, alongside Arrival, at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970. During this period, he also befriended George Harrison and was invited to contribute piano to Harrison's All Things Must Pass. After Spooky Tooth split up in 1974, Wright continued his solo career, culminating in "Dream Weaver". The single peaked at #2 for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976, sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in March 1976.[3] It was also later featured in the Wayne's World film and soundtrack, as well as in the 1996 film The People vs. Larry Flynt. Later in 1976, his follow-up single "Love is Alive" also reached #2 (for two weeks). Ronnie Montrose played guitar on the song "Power of Love" from Wright's album, The Dream Weaver. Although The Dream Weaver was a hit album and would go multi-platinum, his subsequent releases did not catch on, either critically or commercially, and his career quickly stalled. But Wright continued to make albums throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Wounded Bird Records reissued The Light of Smiles, Touch and Gone, Headin' Home and The Right Place in October 2008; all except Headin' Home featured extra tracks. Wright's last success on the Billboard Hot 100 was in 1981, when he returned with "Really Wanna Know You" (co-written by Ali Thomson). His 1981 song "Comin' Apart", from the album The Right Place, was sampled by Armand Van Helden for the 2004 club song titled "My My My". The song was remixed in 2006 by Andreas S. Jensen. "Heartbeat", also from The Right Place, was re-recorded in 2007 as a dance track by Topmodelz. In 1984 Chaka Khan included her cover version of "Love is Alive" (re-titled "My Love is Alive") on her album I Feel For You. In 1986, Wright contributed the song "Hold On to Your Vision" to the soundtrack of the Sylvester Stallone movie Cobra. "Better By You, Better Than Me," a song written by Wright for Spooky Tooth, was covered by Judas Priest on their 1978 album Stained Class. In 2008, Wright toured with Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. In November 2008, Wright released the six-track EP, Waiting to Catch the Light, on the Larkio Music label. In late 2008, Wright also released The Light of a Million Suns, which featured a re-recorded version of "My Love is Alive" in which son Dorian gets a recording credit..In 2010, Wright is set to tour again with Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band, along with Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter, Richard Page, and Gregg Bissonette. Wright released a new album in June 2010 called 'Connected'. Special guests on the record include Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh, and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.
Gary Fong "THE ACCIDENTAL MILLIONAIRE"
Gary Fong (b. December 6, 1960 in Seattle, WA, USA) is an American entrepreneur and former photographer. Fong ended his photography career in 2002 to pursue business interests such as marketing photography products. Starting in a bedroom of his parent's apartment, Fong started shooting weddings for $150/no time limit. While this entry price severely undermined the pricing standards, he was able to sell comprehensive designs at an option that was far more costly than the basic package. He would go on to photograph such people as, Sylvester Stallone, Ronald Reagan, Sidney Sheldon, Lee Remick, Paul McCartney, Peter Criss, Bruce Lee, Todd Rundgren, Priscilla Presley, Pia Zadora, Michael Landon, Florence Henderson, Shelly Fabares, among others. Here Comes the Guide, a respected "bible" of wedding planning has said, "Every once in a while someone comes along to revolutionize an art form; for wedding photography, that someone Is Gary Fong." His photographic images have been used for national ad campaigns for Fuji, Kodak, Canon and Hasselblad. Fong was selected in the telecast, Weddings 2000 as one of the top ten wedding photographers in the world. This live simulcast was broadcast to movie theaters around the world, and was a first of its kind. Fong is also the co-founder of Pictage's Digital Photo Lab. With the advent of digital, Fong knew that online presentation of images would be best matched to an instant print delivery service. So, joining up with Pictage's online presence, Fong brought his own personal print lab into Pictage's headquarters, and installed it in the kitchen. Joining the Board of Directors and Senior Management team, Pictage started with seven employees in a small office, and within years the employee count would top 150, making Pictage the largest dedicated online digital/web solution anywhere in the United States. Apax Partners invested $29 million dollars to acquire Pictage in 2006. In 2009, Fong began focusing on a style of management called vertical integration. Because the scale of his photographic accessories company had reached a sufficient scale, Fong began acquiring companies in the Midwestern United States to produce and distribute his products. The first such acquisition was the assets of the former Mailer's Plus Corporation, a logistics warehouse operation in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. Keeping the assets, leasehold, management and staff of the previous company, Fong re-opened it as a new corporation, Consolidated Fulfillment, Inc. On January 19, 2009, Publisher's Marketplace announced the acquisition of world publication rights to, Gary Fong's THE ACCIDENTAL MILLIONAIRE: How to Succeed in Life without Really Trying, described as "a humorous, poignant memoir of the man said to have revolutionized wedding photography", to Glenn Yeffeth at BenBella Books, for publication in October 2009 (World).
