I loved Gary Wright’s music. Got to see him twice (Providence, RI 1977…Mohegan Sun 2010 with Ringo’s All Star Band). My favorite album was Touch and Gone, which didn’t do well, but I still loved it. Rest in Peace as you climb aboard the dream weaver train 😢
This is my all time forever favorite song!! I can't explain why it is and touched me maybe it's the synthesizer and gentle easy harmony mixed with breezy sounds but all I know is I Love it!❤️❤️❤️
Lisa, I had not heard this long version and while it may not be my all-time favorite song, it is right up there in my top 10. You can't help how certain notes that are strung together just touch your heart. My two favorite songs are The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore by the Walker Brothers, 1966 and For Your Love by Ed Townsend, 1958. Check them out.
I first heard this song in 1983 at the bowling alley. Never paid much attention but enough of it grabbed y attention that, 13 years later, I asked my family, "What is the name of that song that goes, 'I really wanna show you. I really wanna show you the way I feel. I really wanna show you. I really wanna SHOW YOU THE WAY I feel. OHHH-Ohhh-ohhh-oh!" No one could help me. I called up a radio station and asked. In the year 2000 at a family birthday party, I asked them and sang the chorus again. My cousin said, "I think I can remember a song that goes 'I really wanna show you the way I feel. I wanna know you," but he could not remember. Oct, 2001 at another birthday party, I asked my cousin, and he began searching on the internet. He inputted "I really wanna show you," and we could not find the damn song. I asked my Dad again, and asked what my cousin had been singing at the previous party. He was irritated, but he said the word "know". I had my cousin type in the word "I really wanna know you," and he found a song, and said, "Yeah, I think this is it." Excited, but doubtful, I asked, "Who sings it," and he answered Gary Wright. Gary Wright. I remembered the song Dream Weaver, and I thought, yes! The voice I heard singing in m\my memory sounded like the same man who sang Dream Weaver. It took 17 and 1/2 but I finally found the song. Up until then I had begun to wonder if I had imagined the whole thing.
Just learning of our loss of another great artist. So many over just the last 9 months and now Gary Wright. Thank you, Gary, for bringing us joy with your beautiful music. You will be remembered fondly. Rest peacefully. Your Love will always be ALIVE!
@douglascolocho9806 yes music is the only way you can truly go back in time I think we have to play this song and spin around real fast and see if it takes us back to 1981
🙏🙏🙏☮️☮️☮️good bless you Garry your music is in ours hearts thank you for the memories 70s growing up my childhood great time to be alive best time of my life best forever miss 🎉🙏🙏☮️☮️☮️👍
One of the best songs from back in the day.... I'm surprised it's been 41 years since it aired on the radio..... I wish there's a station that plays oldies like this.... I listen to music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s............ best of times.............
I've always adored this 80's gem. I even emailed Gary Wright in the 90's to see if he was going to release a greatest hits CD with this song on it because I couldn't find this tune on CD at the time. Surprisingly he responded that he was working on it and would be out the following year...He kept his word :). Thanks for making a long version! Sounds awesome!
I LOVE this song so much!!! Hardly ever heard it on regular radio but Casey Kasem used to play it...summer of 1981. Thank u for posting it...I thought everyone had forgotten about it.
I never knew this song was played on FM radio. I know "Dream Weaver," and I like it a lot. This song, "Really Wanna Know You," is great. I heard the Magnum edition. Both, this DJDiscoCat edition and the Magnum edition are both, great and terrific. In this year 2022, this edition of "Really Want to Know You," is my capital favorite.
I really like the song too. It just sounds great! When you mentioned Casey Kasem, I thought about the horrible end to his life. If you weren’t aware of his last days, please read about it. Sad story. Always loved his shows.
@@Lyle-ge2db they still replay his archive siriusxm and other land based radio stations around the us of a and the world ! , he’s part of the americana , things that will never go away like it or love it , nothing to hate about such an icon. i would guess he has a niche at the smithsonian in dc .🤔
Me, too, and this year, 2022, is the first time I hear this song. Although the first song by Gary Wright is "Dream Weaver," this song "Really Wanna Know You," is my number one favorite."
@@PresidentChristopher yep...i have his full discography. This song is very similar to "Take a Look"...from his 1988 release "Who I Am"...chk it out. Another gem.
This year 2022, is the first time I ever heard this song. "Dream Weaver" was the first song sung by Gary Wright. "Really Wanna Know You" is my most favorite song. Today, August 7, 2022, I am playing this song for the fifth day, and I love it every time. 🎵🎶
@@captainkeyboard1007 And it makes you think how many thousands of other songs out there you've never heard that you would love. I'm always discovering new songs and and thinking to myself.....how did I miss this over the years.
@@DigitalYarbs You just typed a bookful of sense. I could never type it better than did you. There were songs pressed on to black vinyl record discs that were sold earlier, but they were not sold at the record stores or record departments because the recordings went "out of print." That is why the best source I can capture such music is on UA-cam. One advantage that I have is I can listen to the music repeatedly, as much as I want to hear them. Thank you for tapping or typing to me.👌
Esta canción tiene algo muy especial transmite mucha tranquilidad, la conocí por primera vez hace 15 años por una radio aquí en Perú y desde ese momento la tengo en mi lista de tracks de los 80's.
I've heard this song before and it's great especially your version of this 🐱 great work on every song your bring here 😊 keep it up with the memories of the music we don't get to hear to often anymore 🐱
I Loved this record 41 summers ago... Struck deep... Gotta tell you, you pick great stuff and make it that much better... This LP was very good, but the Dream Weaver LP was just beyond great!
@@DJDiscoCat That song reminded me of the time I bought my first stereo components system at a Stereo Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. The melody is just great. Thank you for tapping or typing to me! DJDiscoCat, you are the finest! 😀
I hand for gotten about this one .I remember leasing to now on the radio back in the day I was 23 when this came out. This was the year my mother passed away so got in to music thank DJCat
Una gran cancion de los 80s si es que no me equivoco, y una pena que el gran Gary haya partido el 4 de este mes. Que Dios lo tenga en su gloria por habernos dado tantas bellas canciones.
Didn't recognize the song by the title, but once it started playing, I had faint memories of it. Also, I noticed in the opening scene that Ali Thomson co-wrote it, and I thought "His brother was in Supertramp!" Then I read the description and DJDC mentioned this. 😎👍
A pretty big hit in Canada way back when - thanks for the revival. Wright’s background is fascinating, much more there than the dream weaver and this (greatly remixed) one.
From the United States of America, this music is fantastic, incredible, magnificent, wonderful, and lovely and loving. This song has a heaven-scent feeling, because it is heartwarming.
DJDiscoCat, you make music "go out of this world!" When I listen to an old song that I never knew or heard of, it becomes my favorite, right here on UA-cam. 👌
¡que exelente cancion,de este cantautor gary writte,despues de 41 años lo escucho y gracias a ustedes honorables amigos,yo lo escuchaba cuando tenia 16 años,me deleitaba con esta cancion y gracias por otorgarmelo mis estimados!.

Hard to believe that Gary Wright was 80 years old this year! RIP Gary!! I really miss the 1970's! A wonderful time to be alive.
I graduated HS in 1970!
Afortunadamente seguimos vivos para seguir disfrutando está hermosa canción, y el resto de la música de nuestra época, la mejor de todas.
This one takes me back to some great times in my life.
RIP Gary Wright. :( Passed today at age 80
73 y/o here!
RIP Gary Wright. A true innovator.
It reminds me of a boyfriend who liked this song. Beautiful song. Still have the 45 rpm record.
Te felicito, tienes un tesoro en tus manos.
I love this extended version of the song. This song is so darn cool !! Now I'm going to have to go listen to Dream Weaver right now !!

I am sure i hadn't heard this one since its release! Totally forgot this gem. Thanks so much!
Just now hearing this version- just moves me! Love it and so sad to hear of his passing away! We always loved his music!
Music is the time's machine;this song takes me to November 1981,when life was easier.Thanks for this version.
@douglascolocho9806 yes music is the only way you can truly go back in time I think we have to play this song and spin around real fast and see if it takes us back to 1981
Beautiful 1981 hit !!!!
Ok what u did with this great song is absolutely incredible....love gary Wright

I'm workin on it via I Heart Radio; 50's Friday, 60's Saturday, 70's Sunday. Watch for Benni Buxton.
It's like jumping in a time machine & going back to '81 because this sadly hasn't been played anywhere in years. Wow. What a ride.
There is..92.9 FM. Hoquiam, Wa.
Absolutamente de acuerdo.
Such a great song by Gary Wright!! Upbeat and always got me up to dance!! 🎶😄♥️
My favorite song by him. I was saddened to hear of his passing this morning. What a great legacy.
I saw Gary Wright in concert in California years ago and this is one of the songs he sang. It was a magical night. I cherish the memory.
This song is beautiful 1981. Willy Russell Norbin 💖 ❤😢😅
RIP Gary
A great man and a competitive tennis player. Love ya, Gary.
Tocou e toca muito esse super clássico do Gary Wright Am❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ essa musica 🙆♀️

I could not agree with you any more than this one! This song just became my favorite.👌
This "long version" you called is really the full and proper version of the song.
Your request to Gary Wright by electronic mail was satisfaction guaranteed.
Awesome to hear! One of my favorites!!!!!!
@@JeannieMitchellMyers I really love the "Long Version" of this song!
Amazing and Killer Mix. I am not worthy to hear it. Wow. Art Bolanos Houston

Beginning to feel my real (mid 70s) age!
That song charted on billboard hot 100 for that week ending September 12, 1981.
J'adore cette chanson. Je l'ai connu ici
Merci DJ💋
This is such an awesome version of one of my favorite, little known 80’s hits. I already loved it. Love it even more now!
One of my favorites off this vinyl, spun this many times and the dorm room. Gary Wright was a boss in the early eighties.
I was 10 years old in 1981. I remember this song. I recorded it off the radio onto a mix tape in 81....loved it.

Escuchaba este Great Hit. En Bogotá Colombia. Época de mi Escuela SECUNDARIA.
YO TAMBIEN LA ESCUCHABA EN LA SECU
Sounds like a a haunting song in another dimension particularly the back-up vocals and the synth. BUT A REMARKABLE SONG. UNIQUE.
Thank you for making me remember my younger years, great times.
INCREDIBLE! Not only that you know this track but gave it attention that it deserves. You are amazing.
This is my second favorite Gary Wright song. This is what I call a love song. Also, it is a loving song. 🎵🎶
Great oldie!!!!! Love this remastered version~
Una gran cancion de los 80s si es que no me equivoco, y una pena que el gran Gary haya partido el 4 de este mes. Que Dios lo tenga en su gloria por habernos dado tantas bellas canciones.

Nice music!!!! Congrates from Brazil!!!! MAY 29 2024
Gary had a different vision, and ear, many in the early eighties was still stuck, but he was ready for the new decade
Good one with extended version !!! 👍🏼
