The Light of Smiles is the fourth album by American rock musician Gary Wright. It was released in January 1977 on Warner Bros. Records as the follow-up to his commercial breakthrough, The Dream Weaver. The album was produced by Wright and recorded in Los Angeles in 1976. Aside from drums and orchestral strings, the music was created entirely on synthesizers and other keyboard instruments. The lyrics reflect Wright's preoccupation with spirituality, particularly the teachings of Indian yogi Paramahansa Yogananda.

  • The light of smiles is het vierde studioalbum dat Gary Wright als soloartiest uitgaf; het verscheen in 1977. Gary Wright zette de muziek van zijn vorige album The dream weaver voort maar gaf hier meer bloot van zijn ontmoetingen met de Indiase cultuur. Titels als The light of smiles, Who am I?, Empty inside en Child of light zijn direct dan wel indirect toe te wijzen aan zijn kennismaking met het gedachtegoed van Paramahansa Yogananda (metaphysical meditations). Daartegenover staan Silent fury en Phantom writer als soul-, funkachtige rocksongs. Het was net als zijn voorganger opgenomen in de Sound Labs. te Los Angeles. (nl)

Aside from drums and orchestral strings, the music was created entirely on synthesizers and other keyboard instruments. The lyrics reflect Wright's preoccupation with spirituality, particularly the teachings of Indian yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. Although the album failed to match the commercial impact of its predecessor, The Light of Smiles was moderately successful and received a favorable response from some music critics. In the United States, it peaked at number 23 on Billboard's albums chart, while the single "Phantom Writer" reached number 43 on the Hot 100. (en)
