Danny Wilson
Danny Wilson was a Scottish pop-rock trio that lit up the late '80s with their sophisticated melodies and jazz-tinged charm. Formed in Dundee by brothers Gary Clark (vocals/guitar) and Kit Clark (keyboards), alongside Ged Grimes (bass), they borrowed their name from a Frank Sinatra film but crafted a sound entirely their own. Their 1987 debut *Meet Danny Wilson* became an underground favorite, launching the bittersweet gem *Mary's Prayer* – a track that later became a surprise US hit and remains a beloved '80s time capsule.
Though they only released two albums before splitting in 1991, their legacy lived on through members' later projects – Gary became a sought-after songwriter (for *Natalie Imbruglia* and *The Fratellis*), while Ged joined *Simple Minds*. Tracks like the swooning *Avalanche* and playful *Bebop Moptop* still shimmer with their signature blend of brainy lyrics and cocktail-hour cool, proving good pop never goes out of style.
