Tracks: Touch And Gone Starry Eyed Something Very Special Stay Away Night Ride Sky Eyes Lost In My Emotions Can't Get Above Losing You The Love It Takes About The Record: Touch and Gone, by Gary Wright, was released as the follow-up to The Light of Smiles. Wright changed his approach to songwriting for the album by collaborating with other writers on six of the nine songs. The album was recorded with only keyboard instruments, aside from vocals, drums, and percussion. The album peaked at No. 117 in the USA, while the title track reached No. 73 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Wright's songwriting has always been very straightforward and keyboard oriented, delivering simple messages with heartfelt earnestness. A reviewer on allmusic says, "the ... songs that rise above the ordinary energy are Something Very Special and Lost In My Emotions which are respectively blue-eyed funky and soulfully chorused; they should have been the singles." Starry Eyed and Something Very Special were also released as singles.
