Gary Wilson is best known for his 1977 album “You Think You Really Know Me”, after which he promptly retired from recording and performing concerts. He holds a cult following and the likes of The Roots, Questlove, Matt Groening (yeah, the guy that made The Simpsons), Peanut Butter Wolf (Stones Throw) and Beck, who shouts Wilson in “Where It’s At (Two Turntables And A Microphone)”, are all fans of his material. Now, Gary Wilson tours Europe.
