Details:
MARION WRIGHT WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE SMALL,RURAL TOWN
OF CLIO,SC. THE CHURCHS AND SCHOOLS WERE THE ONLY MUSICAL
OUTLETS IN THE COMMUNITY AND,CONSEQUENTLY,HE DID A LOT OF SINGING IN BOTH. "WHENEVER TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WERE GATHERED FOR ANY OCCASION, I WAS USUALLY THE ENTERTAINMENT"
WRIGHT SAID.
THIS WAS ALSO A TIME OF LISTENING TO PROFESSIONAL SINGERS ON THE RADIO. LATE AT NIGHT, THE BIG BANDS RULED THE AIRWAYS AND WERE A GREAT INSPIRATION TO ASPIRING SINGERS.
THIS WAS WHEN DIFFERENT STYLES, INTERPRETATIONS, DYNAMICS,
TIMING, ETC. WERE DISCOVERED AND WERE EITHER GREATLY APPRECIATED OR "BORROWED".
AFTER LEAVING HOME FOR COLLEGE, WRIGHT BECAME A MEMBER AND SOLOIST FOR THE WOFFORD COLLEGE GLEE CLUB. AT THE SAME TIME, HE HELPED FORM AND PERFORMED WITH A SMALL POP COMBO-"THE COLLEGIATES". THIS GROUP TRAVELED AND PERFORMED WITH THE WOFFORD GLEE CLUB ON ITS ANNUAL TOUR AROUND SOUTH CAROLINA.
"THE COLLEGIATES" ALSO PERFORMED AT MANY COLLEGE FUNCTIONS,
FRATERNITY DANCES, HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR/SENIOR DANCES,ETC.
THE COLLEGE YEARS WERE A GREAT "MUSICAL LEARNING/PERFORMING"
TIME FOR MARION WRIGHT.
AFTER COLLEGE CAME MARRIAGE AND A TOUR OF DUTY IN THE US ARMY. THEN IT WAS BACK TO CLIO WHERE HE JOINED THE FAMILY
BUSINESS AND BECAME A COTTON FARMER.
DURING THIS TIME, WRIGHT CONTINUED HIS MUSIC BY BECOMING CHOIR DIRECTOR AT HIS CHURCH, PERFORMING IN LITTLE THEATER AND DINNER THEATER PRODUCTIONS IN THE AREA AND BY ORGANIZING, BOOKING AND PERFORMING WITH SEVERAL SMALL MUSICAL GROUPS FOR DANCES AND CONCERTS.
IN AUG 2001, WITH THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS,WRIGHT DECIDED TO MAKE A RECORDING OF A FEW OF HIS PERSONAL MUSICAL FAVORITES. THE RESULT OF THAT SESSION IS"GOD GAVE A GIFT".
