Nancy Wilson (singer)

She was inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame in 1999. A keen camper van driver, Clunes is married to producer Philippa Braithwaite and has a daughter, Emily. In the 1990s, Wilson began acting on a regular basis, appearing on "The Sinbad Show" and "The Bill Cosby Special" on television and in such films as Robert Townsend's Meteor Man. Clunes was also frequently recruited by his friend and former Men Behaving Badly co-star Harry Enfield to play charcaters in his sketch shows. Back in the US, she began her association with her current label, Columbia Records, in 1984, collaborating with such artists as Ramsey Lewis and working on an album of previously-unpublished Johnny Mercer lyrics set to the music by co-producer Barry Manilow, "With My Lover Beside Me." (1991). Clunes won much acclaim for his role and seems a popular choice for a permanent role. In 1983, she won the Tokyo Song Festival and went on to cut five successful albums for Japanese labels. When Angus Deayton was sacked as host of Have I Got News For You, Clunes was one of several people recruited to guest host the topical news quiz, having been an extremely successful panellist and stand-in captain in the past (he joked that, as he had been a contestant on the show so many times that there was now only one chair on the set that he had not sat in, before dropping a spotlight and dramatic music on Ian Hislop).

She also performed on The Carol Burnett Show several times between 1966 and 1971. In 2002 he played serial killer John George Haigh in A Is for Acid, and four years earlier he starred as Richard Burbage in Shakespeare in Love. In 1964, she won a Grammy Award for "How Glad I Am" and an Emmy Award for her 1967-68 NBC series, The Nancy Wilson Show. Clunes is an established dramatic actor too, starring in the films An Evening With Gary Lineker, Staggered and Saving Grace. By the mid-1960s, Wilson had become one of the label's best-selling artists, second only to the Beatles. His first television appearance came a decade earlier in Doctor Who, and he also got a role as one of the sons in the BBC sitcom No Place Like Home. She scored her first big hit in 1962 with Cannonball Adderley and "Save Your Love For Me.". The son of actor Alec Clunes, he is best known as Gary in the sitcom Men Behaving Badly which was broadcast from 1992 to 1998.

At Capitol, Wilson' s first recording was "Like In Love". Martin Clunes (born 28 November 1961) is a British actor. This lead to the recording contract at Capitol Records. While performing in Columbus, Wilson had an opportunity to sit in with Cannonball Adderley, who sensed her potential and helped her to get her a manager, John Levy. In 1956, she joined Rusty Bryant's Carolyn Club Band and made her first recording for Dot Records.

At age 15, she won a local talent contest, the prize for which was her own television series, "Skyline Melodies," on a local station. Wilson was born in Chillicothe, Ohio. Nancy Wilson (born February 20, 1937) is an African-American singer whose sixty-plus albums have blended jazz and pop music.
