Bernard Wright (born in New York City on 16 November 1963; died 19 May 2022) was an American funk and jazz keyboardist and singer who began his career as a session musician and later released four solo albums.
Wright toured with Lenny White at 13 and played with Tom Browne in 1979. He got such strong response that he was signed to GRP in 1981. But the LP 'Nard stalled, though there was good reaction among R&B and fusion fans to the single "Just Chillin' Out." It was followed by Funky Beat for Arista and Mr. Wright for Manhattan/EMI. Wright also co-wrote and sang with La La on "We'll Keep Strivin." He recorded with Cameo, Bobby Brown, Pieces of a Dream, and Charles Earland, among others.
In 1990 he released the gospel album Fresh Hymns. In 2000 he formed a trio with Alfredo Elias and Damon Banks and released the album Back To Our Roots. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
