It comes in threes, he is the third.
1) Jimmy Buffet
2) Steve Harwell (Smash Mouth)
3) Gary Wright
I remember "Dream Weaver" so well, because it was very different. The song was obviously primarily synthetic, and featured that synth bass. Seems like keyboard bass before then was pushed into the background (think of The Doors).
I personally liked "Love Is Alive" much better. And his later work, "Really Want to Know You" has the best "dream" vibe to me. Love that song. Overall, good stuff.

Smash Mouth may not be as beloved on this board since they are more a Gen X and Millennial band. I changed jobs when their song "Rock Star" came out and it helped pump me up to learn all the stuff I needed to in my new position.
I'm listening to the radio right now, and the hosts were DJs in the 90s. They said Harwell was genuinely the nicest rock star they ever dealt with. Unfortunately, he struggled with a lot of issue.
