In 1977, Gary Wilson finished recording You Think You Really Know Me in his parents' basement and released it himself. Through the 1980s, his work in experimental music that draws across styles including new wave, rock, funk, jazz, lounge, and avant-garde. developed a following. After a 1981 tour, he was largely out of public view. Gary resurfaced around 1996, and Michael Wolk filmed his 2002 return to the stage for the documentary You Think You Really Know Me: The Gary Wilson Story. Gary has released seventeen full-length albums.
