Mary Wilson had a great career that lasted for decades. She was stayer and survived all the ups and downs, a true star ❤️

I met Mary Wilson after one of her concerts (sold out) and she was so gracious, friendly and funny! to all of us. She was VERY respectful in her concert with regards to The Supremes and each individual member. Just a class act.

THIS is so beautifully "INCREDIBLE", perfect or NOT! It's in the SPIRIT of whats presented that's the Well-DUE......in time to set the record straight, but too late to make 'the difference' where it counts, and that 'TO HER' while she liveth. Because the lady worked harder, and more incessantly that anyone really seems to recognize that dares to think adversely OF her! The RECORD SHOWS, SHE TOOK THE BLOWS, AND DID IT 'HER WAY', which was a way that NO OTHER COULD'VE, PERIOD! And it shows because at her untimely passing, which STILL seems SOOOO UNREAL...., I've NEVER in my entire LIFE Seen such outpouring of love, adoration, admiration, respect, recountings of favorable encounters WITH, and PROFOUND Testimonies of Life Experiences WITH Mary, or induced, or influenced BY Ms. Wilson.....from all over the world, that never have STOPPED COMING to this day......THIS being an example! I've even seen political based formatted programs STOP their presentation to give a whole period of acknowledgement OF the EFFICACY OF Miss MARY WILSON. It literally BLEW MY MIND! This had NOTHING to do with music of ANY measure. But they DID it VALIANTLY like we've lost a very prominent SOLDIER of the states, and we HAVE! She DEFINITELY WAS a SOLDIER-ess FOR our country and acknowledged as such BY our government, as well as for the music legends and industry in the working and spearheading the lobbying for rights for musicians and artists and etc. that had not been taken seriously or respected as bona fide AMERICANS' legal RIGHTS.......and made MAJOR headway in the changing of that! {I may have to do my OWN video.... heh heh!} She DID ALL of this while maintaining her own interests as well as keeping the legacy GROWING with respect and love and not allowing it to be obliterated into just a passing vehicle of success that didn't mean anything anymore to anyone. THAT was truly NOT fact. But it seemed to have been the 'agenda' of some. But She has 'TAKEN CARE OF IT" while she was here, (I STiLL CAN'T Grip that!!!!!), and it will Certainly continue to multiply now that she's away! God Bless You for contributing to the 'perpetuacy'! I Honor your doing, your effort, and your heart behind what you do, and may it spill out into EVERYTHING that you DO! Blessings, Carl

You are the heart me and don't let the tear drops brother you,....can measure with any Supremes hits

I heard a few songs from the other two members and I think they were quite good I really liked Flo's.

LOVE this! Thank you!

Mary's contribution to the SUPREMES was just as significant as Diana's. She, unlike Florence, played her postion which will forever include her on the "right side" of history. Diana, on the other hand will be remembered for a much "trash" as her "triumphs." The clear WINNER of the "game" is the one who endured - Ms. WILSON #QueenSupreme

Jean Terrell saved the Supremes group with her incredible golden voice. Gordy was terrified that with Terrell as lead, the group would distract public attention from Ross, so he eventually pulled his support away from them.

@@Bananadiva1 , At first I thought you were referring to Mary Wilson. Mary would definitely make anyone run for their ear plugs, but not Diana. And that's your opinion about Diana Ross being eardrum splitting. She had a pleasant shrill.. She gave the group (which really wasn't a group after Motown got their hands on them), 12 No. 1 Hits. If Mary and all these other ho-hum Supremes were such wonderful singers ,where are their No.1 solo hits? Diana Ross has 6 or more if you count her European hits. . And Diana Ross did not have Berry's help after 1980. Where are Mary's massive worldwide sold out arena dates? The 70's Supremes were a lower tier stage act---couldn't sell records to save their lives after their two hits. Diana Ross at the height of her career easily sold out Wembley Stadium as a solo act. There were over 500,000 people at her free concert in New York in 1983. Mary and Jean , Lynda, Scherie, Susaye, and "ShaNayNay" and "Pootangtay", do or did the funnel cake circuit. Diana Ross sang for kings and queens, Russia's Royal Kremlin Palace, heads of state. Slept with the right people? At least she had the smarts to do that and not just fuck any dick like Mary's loose gonorrhea dripping vajayjay--- Tom Jones, Flip Wilson and everything else. Then ,Mary killing her son.."Lovely".. And since when do people buy records and concerts based on who someone fucked? That applies to the porn industry. Diana Ross has never worked in the porn industry. Y'all just can't accept that Diana Ross had the IT factor. I watch old clips of her when she was a Supremes and a solo performer. You can't take your eyes off her. She pops and sparks. No tricks in those days, just talent.

I loved Diana Ross and the Supremes, but what I loved was the trio effect. I fell in love with Diana's voice from day one. I do understand that Mary was an integral part of the Supremes, but I also understand that anyone with a modicum of talent and who looked the part could do what she did. Clearly, Mary had enough substance to be able to make a living from being associated with the Supremes. But I always felt this kind of envious energy from her. The saying goes that "Water seeks its own level" and just wanting to be something is not always enough. I do understand that as kids she might have felt a bit badly about Diana being pushed to the front. However, despite her bellyaching about how unfairly she was treated at Motown, she had over 50 years to make superstardom and prove Diana or Gordy wrong and was not able to do it. I am certain that neither Berry nor Diana stood in her way for half a century. I've always felt a bit sad that Mary never really invested herself in mining her natural gift for ballads or jazz. Instead, she spent all of her energy trying to compete with Diana which was a losing game because she didn't possess the same kind of appeal. I also found it most interesting that she went on national television to complain about the Return to Love Tour, while she was running all over singing Diana's songs including Someday We'll Be Together which she didn't even appear on.

@Myron's Corner - Someday We'll Be Together was sold as a recording of Diana Ross and The Supremes, and it was purchased on good faith that it was a recording by Diana Ross & the Supremes, so Mary Wilson, as a Supreme, was entitled to sing that song on that premise alone. Had the song been released as the "Lead Singer and Whoever Else" then I'd see your point, but it wasn't, blame the business for that, not Mary. And Mary never sang Diana Ross songs as you put it, she only sang SUPREMES songs among others. Everything you wrote is a bunch of nonsense followed up with more nonsense. For goodness sake, who else is mainstream media going to seek when the number one American Rock act of the 60s is reuniting, less an ORIGINAL founding member. Oh, that's not newsworthy? @Myron's Corner, I see gray in your mustache, you're not a kid.

We should stop fighting like school children. Mary is gone and happy, I guess, wherever she is. And she deserves it. I do not why, but I prefer Mary's interviews in old age, she is hilarious, as in the Tamron Hall show. Diana Ross has other things to worry about right now, for example, the lack of success of her lackluster 2021 musical comeback. And in the end, the truth is (I read this somewhere) that the real good singer of the original Supremes was Mary Wilson. I suspect she knew that...

Mary Wilson’s biggest mistake was not listening to Berry Gordy at the crossroads. Syreeta Wright would’ve carried The Supremes throughout the 70’s!

Who had no knowledge of the music industry. To recording a dance-disco heavy debut album. When that style of music had already lost its luster and appeal at that time.

First of all Jean Terrell never left Mary at the drop of a dime. For years, she told Mary she needed to leave Motown, as they weren’t supporting any of their albums nor the group. Jean also kept advising Mary to go on her own talent or to form a group outside of Supremes. In usual Mary form, she could never give anything up. Mary stayed with the Supremes even when she knew they were no longer getting anymore hits. Mary mismanaged them with her abusive husband. To say Jean was mistreating her is absurd. Especially, with Jean having Mary and Cindy sing on many of the leads and sharing leads with the group. Unlike Diana. All of this is according to Mary. Jean has always forewarned Mary of her actions and told her around early/mid 70s that she was leaving, due to Berry’s treatment of her and the group. Mary just didn’t know when to call something quits. Then, when she finally decided to go solo, she was lost, unprepared and little too old.
