thewayneGary was 80 and had been suffering from Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia for several years. Pretty rough stuff. Lewy is what Robin Williams had.
Gary formed the band Spooky Tooth, was a friend and collaborator with George Harrison and played keyboards on one of his albums. He also wrote the song Love Is Alive. Perhaps most notably, he is credited with recording the first entirely synth album in 1975 that enjoyed broad success, The Dream Weaver.

It's been a rough couple of weeks on the music industry!
