Excerpts:
Excerpt:
Graeme Clark and Tommy Cunningham met on the school bus and became close friends. Mutual friend Neil Mitchell, prompted by his pals' positive attitude, promised to supply keyboards when he could scrape together enough money from his paper round. To complete the quartet, Clark approached Mark McLachlan. He said, "At break we all went behind the kitchen for a fly smoke, and there in the corner was this quiet kid who said very little, but when he sang, everyone listened."[1]
With the line-up complete, rehearsals took place in Mrs. Clark's kitchen. McLachlan sang to the gas cooker, and the musical blend quickly took shape: McLachlan's soul music influences (from his mother's record collection) — Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin and Al Green; Clark's love of the Clash, Elvis Costello and reggae; Cunningham's penchant for 1960s music — the Beatles, Long John Baldry, Roy Orbison, et al.; and Mitchell's musical tastes included everything from Stevie Wonder and Jimmy Webb to ABC and Burt Bacharach.[1]
Clubs, dominated by the Philadelphia Sound of Barry White, the O'Jays, the Three Degrees, as well as the New York dance sounds of Donna Summer, Sister Sledge, Chic, etc., would also influence them.[1]
They changed t
heir name to Wet Wet Wet, a title they took from the Scritti Politti song, Getting Having and Holding, and McLachlan changed his name to stage name "Marti Pellow".

Excerpt:
The group's name was a pun on the Hughes Corporation, with the 'hue' being the group's African-American heritage. The band's members were St. Clair Lee (born Bernard St. Clair Lee, April 24, 1944, San Francisco, California; died 2011), Fleming Williams (born 1953, Flint, Michigan; died 1992[2]) and Hubert Ann Kelley (born 24 April 1947, Fairfield, Alabama).[3] The original choice for the group's name was The Children of Howard Hughes, which their record label turned down.
