Mary Wilson was the first woman inductee to accept her induction. Aretha was inducted the year before but she didn’t attend.

As uncomfortable/miserable/nervous as Lisa looked onstage, it was so important that she was there to support Mary. As the years went on after Flo's death in 1976, it was more important than ever to preserve her legacy, and keep her name burning bright in the public memory. Blondie would've been extremely proud to see her daughter accepting this award for her.

Most of it comes from the black women "stars" of the 60's. Dionne Warwick for example is so jealous of Diana Ross that she pisses herself everytime she hears Diana' name! And Diana goes on with her life . She doesnt respond to the crap and she doesnt bad- mouth anyone! She loves her kids and her career and her millions and millions of adoring fan!! she doesnt waste time with crappy people like Mary Wilson.

I love Ms. Birdsong and appreciate her contributions to The Supremes, but she was not a founding member and wasn't a part of the group during its heyday. If we're going to honor Cindy then we should also honor the ladies that followed in the seventies. Their contributions and talent is always overlooked which is a shame IMO.

I've been wanting to see this for the longest time only now when our Mary is gone. Only last December I've downloaded in KZread Music this compilation album of rarities where I also discovered so many Supremes albums I never knew and though for me it was annoying to listen most of the tracks with Diana's leads, I'd say it gives me pleasure to listen to Mary and Flo's voices on the few records they sang lead and I could tell you their voices were like gems hidden from the public by the powers that be at that time. Can't wait to hear Mary's last new music to be released on her birthday March 6 which she just announced a few days earlier before her passing. 🥂

I was too young to see the peak of success with the Supremes....Im 54. So, when they eclipsed the Beatles and the Stones on the Billboard charts, I didnt have any understanding of how monumental that was, considering the times all of them lived in. But now I do. I mean, you're talking about 3 very young black girls, right out of the projects of Detroit, ascending to success that was so HUGE, that they actually sold more records than the Beatles and the Stones, at one point and time. And now as I see this footage, it dawns on me, that the Supremes probably could've been even bigger, if Berry Gordy had let ALL OF THEM take turns with lead vocals...lotta people dont know this, but Mary Wilson, CAN REALLY SING...and most people say that Florence Ballard, was the best of the 3..and then you have Diana, who had an extremely unique voice that was tailor-made for pop music. You will NEVER see a group like the Supremes again...NEVER. For all kinds of reasons, that wont happen.

Her and both of her sisters apparently still live in Detroit and they all have families of their own.

Diana unapologetically worked her butt off: learning phrasing and interpretation 0:28 lyrics, dancing and acting which catapulted her to superstardom. Sweet, beautiful, lovely and innocent Mary Wilson built a career on portraying herself as a saint whose wings were clipped by Diana, subsequently, she achieved a ton of fans who sees her as a victim and Diana the wicked witch of Motown. To Mary’s fans she is the most beautiful Supremes but Berry preferred the skinny big eyed one. Let’s get back to reality: every unmarried female who was working at Motown during fifties and sixties was after Berry Gordy but Diana won the prize (if you considered him a prize). Both the Temptation and the Four Tops who were young men at that time lavish Diana with praises for exhibiting the qualities of a young lady. For the records Diana had her fling at Motown with Berry Gordy, one of the Holland brothers and Eddie Kendricks but she was never labeled the Queen of the Backseats on the Motown Review Bus. Three young girls were given the exact opportunities and they went in separate directions.

Folks, only Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard the original Supremes were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. So you can stop wishing that all The Supremes could have been there. Do your homework!

Well, put that on Diana Ross. She wasn't barred from attending. She chose not to. I think Mary is right, though -- at that time, she had other priorities. She had a baby that was just months old (her son Ross), so getting all dressed up and flying to some city with leaky breasts and a baby you'd be missing and thinking about just wasn't something she wanted to do! One thing that's clear based on how they've turned out is that Diana Ross was a great mother to her kids. I'd venture that she's prouder of her kids and her job raising them than she is of anything she's done professionally.

It would have been nice to see Cindy Birdsong there as well. Not even a mention of her is disappointing as she helped to keep the group going after Florence was let go.

There are far too many elements surrounding The Supremes to mention...and many of those elements are sad. Having said that, what's even more sad is the childish bickering here (and elsewhere) among The Supremes "purported" fans. Thanks to the R&R Hall of Fame for remembering and including our Supremes in their ceremony. It is my belief that Ross could not be there because of her infant sons. I do, however, believe it would have been proper and fitting (and even more entertaining) to invite all the women, who recorded as Supremes and have them take a bow and be recognized either onstage or even from their seats. Finally, it appeared that Lisa looked and probably felt out of place. And so, say what you want about Ross, but Ross would have grabbed Lisa and asked her to stand with her the entire time. It would've been sweet if Mary had given the young girl more support onstage in front of all those music industry people. #RIP to Little Richard...I don't know why he wasn't provided a script since he obviously carried on and on about himself and even admitted to forgetting about The Supremes. #LOL
