Richard Wright....love the man

I really hope this hasn't been covered already I hate a DDT as much as anyone but I searched and hopefully didn't miss it. Richard Wright, totally awesome guy. And I've always wanted to know his contributions. Particually his vocals. I never really see his name mentioned anywhere. Some songs are give aways (Echoes, for instance) but like in TDB, Wearing the Inside Out, to me he sounds strangly like Waters. So I would really love someone to set me straight with this. What songs does he have lead in? And, if your feeling up to it, sings back up? Of course the latter one is probably a really long list so just mainly straight lead. A super big cheers mate to the person who does this.

Generally, unless Botley goes to the trouble, you'll have to scour this and perhaps other sites yourself for the information you desire.

There's a typically cheeky but friendly attitude here, generally, of "do your own homework!"

Re: Richard Wright....love the man

Leads on:

Remember a Day (SFOS, 1968)
See-Saw (" ")
Paintbox (b-side to Apples and Oranges, 1967)
It Would Be So Nice (single, 1968)
Stay (OBC, 1972)
Wearing the Inside Out (DB, 1994)
Maybe a couple more I'm forgetting....

And he sings backup on many Floyd songs, a lot of them I haven't heard in a while so I can't be sure it's him.
