Don't know too many of his songs, but this one and Dream Weaver are pretty awesome, and were very ahead of their time. RIP.

Oh no!  I'm really sorry to hear this.   I enjoyed Dream Weaver and a few other songs quite a bit; he had a compelling voice.   RIP, Gary.

Dream Weaver was one of those songs that took this teenager to a new level of musical experience.  The trippy, dreamlike sounds were mesmerizing.  I was compelled to put on the headphones, turn off all the lights, lie back in a comfy chair and listen to it again and again….

Wayne's World introduced 11 year old me to that and Ballroom Blitz.  Strangely enough, around the first time I heard  on MTV with Roll the Bones.

"She's a babe!  Schwing!"

RIP

The album was all electronic, which was different for those times.  RIP
