I Am Pegasus
# I Am Pegasus

"I Am Pegasus" is a pop rock song written and recorded by American-Australian singer-songwriter Ross Ryan, which was issued as a single in September 1973 ahead of his third album, My Name Means Horse (February 1974). It was produced by Peter Dawkins for EMI Music Australia, which peaked at No. 2 on the Australian charts.

Ryan told APRAP's Debbie Kruger in March 2002 how he had merged two songs, "One was about the fact that I had just discovered that Ross means horse... also at the time I was having a really disastrous attempt at a relationship with an air hostess... [I was] getting nowhere with them, so I combined them and got a flying horse. And I came up with Pegasus... I looked up all the things that rhymed with Pegasus and I got Dimitrius and Sagittarius." The writing process took the artist about two months and after Dawkins heard it, the producer felt, "it was the obvious single."
