Talk:Gary Wright

message: I removed some text that was a copyvio from All Music Guide (as revealed in a Google Search that brought up Yahoo Music sites crediting AMG).  It was kind of a red flag when I saw text that looked like a professional review that didn't look like the rest of the article.  --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 20:18, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Linda Ronstadt's  "Long, Long Time"

thread_title:  Category:American expatriates... 

message: According to some guy (who was in the band), one of the "local bands" Wright was "continuing to perform with" in the mid-60s was the Coachmen V, who recorded an album, which was then released (without the permission or even knowledge of the band members) as an egregious Beatle rip-off, "The Beetle Beat" by The Buggs. Gary Wright was a Bugg!
The person's assertion is on the talk page of The Buggs, but there's no other reference than that so we can't include it. (It might be too trivial anyway, but I think it's kind of interesting). Wright would not have been on the album cover as those people were just models, unfortunately. It'd be nice to find a ref, but I consider it unlikely. Herostratus (talk) 20:01, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Huh. 

message: I remember details of these events because I'd been touring as Wright's keyboardist since the fall of 1975, was his only tour keyboardist who played on every recorded song of "The Light of Smiles" and was the only of his keyboardists who remained faithfully employed by him throughout this period, including moving to an apartment in Manhattan Beach (near his home at Palos Verdes) which I shared with our tour road manager Ron Nahoda.
I edited part of this article, adding info to "The Light of Smiles" section and adding a section titled "Gary Wright tour band" which details on instrumentation might be an important part of Progressive Rock history (?) and certainly are a central part of this popular recording artist's biography in terms of its uniqueness and that there were so many millions of people who might remember this band (were entertained by our tour band at all the many concerts, including Bicentennial at JFK and many more outdoor festivals from late-1975 through 1976).
Thank you,

replies: text: Well, as I explained in my comment with that revert, we/you need sources for that new information, and you were inserting details that weren't supported by the sources that are there. I'll certainly add your name to the few Light of Smiles contributors that are mentioned (because your involvement is supported by the AllMusic source), but more-detailed credits belong in an article dedicated to the album. I sympathise with what you're saying – I'm a musician too and it drives me crazy when authors/journos mishear an instrument or completely ignore a certain part on a song they feel so qualified to comment on … But, in the case of that point about the 1976 European tour, it's supported by a contemporary source: Chris Salewicz, who was there.
