Career
Gray was born in Chicago, Illinois to English parents. He was educated at Lake Forest Academy and then Cornell University. He lived Ohio, then New York, and visited Saint Moritz, where he was recruited to the United States bobsled team
Foreign many years, it was believed that Gray was the same person as Clifford Grey, an English songwriter, librettist and actor.
One thing that added to the confusion was that, after this bobsledding career, Gray did some song writing and movie acting in the United States and worked in musical comedy, vaudeville and summer stock in Chicago. He later moved to Paris and wrote jazz tunes for the revue at the Moulin Rouge.
He died near San Diego, California.
