Gary Wilson (born October 23, 1953) is an American experimental musician and performance artist best known for his 1977 album You Think You Really Know Me. After, he released 4 more recordings: “Midnight Hour/When I Spoke Of Love” (1978), “Forgotten Lovers EP” (1979), “Invasion Of Privacy” (1980), and “This Is Why I Wear My Wedding Gown” (1983). Shortly after, he promptly retired from recording and kept performing until 1983. He slowly gained a strong cult following during the 1980s and 1990s, and in the early 2000s became active again. As of 2024, he has released sixteen full-length albums.
