Chris Baxter talks to musician Gary Clark about his band Danny Wilson, his solo career and writing music for film, television and Broadway.

Eighties band Danny Wilson caused a lot of confusion with their name. Finding chart success with 'Mary's Prayer' and 'The Second Summer of Love', Danny Wilson became a household name. But was it Danny singing the songs? Which of the trio was Wilson?

Gary Clark unravels the story with Chris. He reflects on his career, from writing and performing pop records, to penning songs for film, television and a Broadway musical. The Scottish songwriter talks about life in Los Angeles, and how his movie career really started after returning to his native Dundee.
