She has the strongest voice of the three women in this clip. and she does her solo herewith such passion and emotion. I really felt what she was singing. She always took pride regardless of how small you had given her.

Mary's low, husky alto was the perfect complement to Diana's mezzo-soprano and Cindy's second soprano.

They all had something unique and interesting to contribute, and made the group something magical that will never be beat or replicated. It's such a shame that their legacy is tarnished by all this drama and BS and pitting the women against one another (of course Mary didn't help things; she had every right to tell her story, but still), when really it's their amazing music and performances that should be talked out and remembered.

Actually, the plan for the tour included Ms. Ross, Ms. Wilson and Ms. Birdsong;. But, Ms. Wilson demanded a huge amount of money to participate, and her request would have eliminated the chance for the tour to show a profit. So, the request was turned down, and she refused to take a lower amount and dropped out of the tour. Only then did the idea to include the other Supremes come under consideration. We did indeed love all three original Supremes and those who came later. But, it was Ms. Ross' sound that took the group to the top of the charts and kept them there for years and took her to top of the charts after she became a solo entertainer. She was the group's lead singer and certainly deserved her billing with the group. I always find it odd that those who say they resent Ms. Ross for being spotlighted do not dislike Smokey Robinson for transitioning the Miracles into Smokey Robinson & the Miracles or Martha Reeves because the Vandellas became first Martha & the Vandellas and then eventually Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. They do not condemn David and Jimmie Ruffin for leaving the Temptations for solo careers or Michael Jackson for leaving the Jackson Five for a solo career. Ms. Ross has always been held to a different standard than anyone else, and that seems terribly unfair. It has also always been acknowledged that Ms. Ross worked tirelessly to make the group successful and to maintain that success. Florence Ballard admitted in interviews that she hated everything related to the business except the singing. Ms. Wilson did more, but nothing in any way comparable to the efforts of Ms. Ross. Ms. Ballard also acknowledged that in the last months of her time as a Supreme, she failed to show up for appearances, showed up intoxicated, and that she sometimes sabotaged the choreography on numbers to confuse Ms. Ross and Ms. Wilson and make them look foolish to the audience. In the same interview, she said that though she did not realize it at the time, those actions were manifestations of her desire to leave the group and escape the nonstop work schedule and travel. Many would have felt as she did -- it is hard work to get to the top and remain there -- she wanted to lead a quieter life and stay at home. As for the accusations that people make that Mr. Gordy and others withdrew support for the group after Ms. Ross left for a solo career, the facts do not support that story. After Ms. Ross left, Mr. Gordy personally chose a wonderful singer to join the group as lead singer. They continued to work with th company's top producers and sing songs written by very successful writers (Stevie Wonder, Frank Wilson, Norman Whitfield, Smokey Robinson, Stephen Schwartz, Jimmy Webb, etc.). The music for their recordings also continued to be from the Funk Brothers. As was true of all Motown acts, the Andantes were used on occasion to augment their sound before and after Ms. Ross left the group. So, neither Mr. Gordy nor anyone else withdrew support for the Supremes after Ms. Ross departed, and they had a number of solid hits in the ensuing years. The longevity of most rock and roll and soul groups is relatively short. The Supremes, with and without Ms. Ross, had a long and successful run, and there is no reason for anger at anyone. Still today, they remain the most successful recording group in our country's history. Ms. Ross was also named by Billboard magazine as the Female Artist of the 20th century and by the Guinness Book of World Records as the Most Successful Female Recording Artist of All-Time. The original members of the Supremes are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and have been recognized in countless ways. The members of the group are loved and celebrated all over the world. Ms. Wilson''s criticisms of Ms. Ross, Ms. Ballard's admission of irresponsible conduct on tour and Ms. Ross' decision to leave the group have not and will not cause them to be loved less, and it will not stop their wonderful music from being played around the world until the end of time. It is past time for the bickering about who did what or who did not do what to end. We should just celebrate the fact that these talented, beautiful women existed and gave us a legacy of music that is literally matchless.

Oh, give me a break, Kenneth Hamlett!!!! You sound like an ad from the Motown propaganda "let's make Diane a solo star" campaign. I could counter every ONE of your statements; however, I will just address ONE! Diane was to be given 15 to 20 million dollars for the RTL tour. Yes, Diane, as a solo act, was worth more than Mary and Cindy as individual performers; however, when you put The Supremes back together, all values go UP! If Diane agreed to 12 million and Mary was offered 8 instead of 3 or 4, there would have been no problem. One of the good things that came out of the FAILURE of the RTL tour was that it settled once and FOREVER that Diane was NOT The Supremes and that the legacy of the legendary trio was greater than ANY of its individual members INCLUDING Diane. Diane deserved all the embarrassment and humiliation that she suffered from that fiasco..................and I'll address one more, and that's it: Smokey Robinson was a Motown insider, like Diane. Only those two groups, Supremes an Miracles, changed the names. It was always Martha and The Vandellas. The name of The Miracles was done a year earlier. Giving Martha a last name at the same time was just done to make it look good and fair when The Supremes' name was changed. Why didn't they change the name of the Four Tops? Jackson Five? Temptations? Marvelettes? The reason why it was such a big deal to change the name of The Supremes was because The Supremes were so HUGE, recognizable individually, and ubiquitous! The Miracles and Vandellas were names on records with anonymous faces. You can't compare the other acts to The Supremes. Plus, they had 10 number 1 records as The Supremes.............the public did not want the name change and people STILL refer to them as THE SUPREMES today. Another good example is The Four Seasons! The entire time that they had hits, they were called the 4 Seasons............no one even knew Frankie Valli's name..........another name on a record with anonymous faces. At the very end of their career, the name was changed to Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons and that is how everyone today refers to them. History is not always an accurate recording of the facts.............that is especially true when we are talking about Motown's version of the history of The Supremes when it applies to Diane Ross. I guess you also believe that Diane's name says "Diana" on her birth certificate. If you do, I have some swampland for sale in Florida...........wanna buy it?

Omg that little boy was so precious,he's now a 48yr old man. The Supremes=Class!!!!!

I always thought Mary had the loveliest voices it really came into its own with the Seventies Supremes.

Nice, Mary. Thank you so much for carrying The Supremes the distance, for so many generations. Many of the true entertainers of the past, present and future owe the legend and quality of entertaining and professionalism to The Original Supremes and the women who followed. Yes, Mary, we salute and respect your vision in keeping the group alive. The Supremes, yesterday, today and tomorrow is and always will be the "greatest girl group", ever! We are forever, grateful! Love The Supremes!

Mary Wilson is the Supreme Supremes. A beautiful music ICON!!!!

I would’ve loved to have seen more performances like this with the three of them singing to the children. They loved kids and they wanted to release a children’s album. They recorded “Diana Ross and The Supremes Sing Disney Classics,” but the album got cancelled and replaced with “Diana Ross and The Supremes Sing Funny Girl.”

Mary Wilson is superb! Loved this performance.

Wow , Kelly Rowland favors her alot!

Terrific, beautiful Mary Wilson! And Diana was pure magic handling that unresponsive child...

"Up the Ladder to the Roof" is a 1970 hit single recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label. It was the first Supremes single to feature new lead singer Jean Terrell in place of Diana Ross, who officially left the group for a solo career two weeks before the recording of this song in January 1970. This song also marks a number of other firsts:

OMG! So confused, when I listen to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" I always hear Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, THE ORIGINAL! "Love Child" Rhonda was very lucky that until she was thirteen years old she had the father figure of Bob Silberstein, I'm sure by then even herself had figured out she was the spitting image of her real father Berry Gordy? In a child, that psychological damage is sometimes irreversible. Diane knew she had to make it up by being the exemplary parent she became!

I don't think Mary was able to get out of that backing singer mould. Even in a solo she sounds like she is singing background harmonies. Great voice, but not for a lead. That little boy is like, "How the fuck did I get here?"

@cristoferchanimak

8 жыл бұрын

I think Mary's voice is great. But it took a very specific formula to get a hit, and Diane's lead was a large part of that. Obviously Diane and Berry had absolutely zero class or professionalism in certain aspects of this story (including their relationship...fame and fortune apparently will never buy you class) but make no mistake, Diane and her stage presence and voice, while not the most talented, was definitely the most radio and TV friendly of the group. She had the weakest voice but the most star power. It's too bad.

wow thanks for posting I love Mary and her voice.

Work it, Mary! Hurry up and work it while you've got the TIME! Hurry up!!!! --- The bit with the kids was cute. I loved It. Diana to Little Boy: "Do you like me?" Little Boy: "No." Classic. Diana was a good sport in this one...

MS MARY WILSON shines and in total control at lead! By now this was a rarity, after Florence Ballard was ousted and replaced by Cindy Birdsong, (1966/67) that anyone but Diane Ross within THE SUPREMES would sing lead was over Diane's dead body! "The Diane Ross Show" / Diane Ross & The Supremes was in full throttle (1967/1969) as she was ridding the "coattails" of the group into her 1969 solo career, career crafted together by her lover benefactor Motown CEO, Berry Gordy!

she was smooth love it

She doesn't need to. Diana's legacy is a golden voice when she was in her prime, a powerful live performer, glamour, invited by kings and queens and heads of state around the world to sing, and over 100million records sold

MS MARY WILSON, the undeniable legendary, 1 of 3 ORIGINAL FOUNDING MEMBERS (Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson & Diane Ross) of the still # 1 FEMALE GROUP of all times "THE SUPREMES" who today in 2014 has emerged as the group's LIVING LEGACY! "MARY, YOU'RE SUPREME"

+TWTR4EVER Jean Tyrell walked away from Marie Wilcox after less than 3 Years. Like Diana Ross, having to carry all that dead weight & pays it's bill took a toll.

Martha Marvelette...lol.....the only "dead weight" Diane Ross carried was her OUT OF WEDLOCK / BASTARD daughter with Berry Gordy (Rhonda Silberstein Gordy Ross) and she lived to be the SPITTING IMAGE of her father as a reminder of her ADULTEROUS INDISCRETION forever!

LMAO Speaking of "Dead Weight" is Miss Mary still supporting her 400lb Failure to Launch Daughter Turkessa & her Litters of Children?

Mary didn't even need Eddie. She had been singing so back up in the group for so long people forgot that she had talent as well. Mary keep it up! Don't let no one stop you. Keep doing your shows and fighting for the greater good. I love you Mary!

Such wonderful HEART here. Thank you!

Oh, My! So this is why they Stuck her in the Background! It explains Everything

That was cute and I don't like kids

Improvising with children on stage is the most chancey thing in show business and they pull it off. Diana is quite a wonder working within this moment, mining it for all its comic possibilities while retaining her graciousness. "Love Child" was chosen because of the beat; it's safe to say the kids didn't even know the lyrics.

On this day in 1969 {January 5th} Diana Ross & the Supremes performed "Love Child" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... Three months earlier on October 19th, 1963 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on November 30th, 1968 it peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} and spent 16 weeks on the Top 100... It also reached #1 {for 2 weeks} on the Australian RPM Singles chart on December 12th, 1968... And in the United Kingdom it peaked at #15... R.I.P. Mr. Sullivan {1901 - 1974}...

Diana has such little voice compared to the other members

Poor Miss Mary, Wasted all them Years, thinking she could sing, So Sad, with her High School Diploma, she could have easily got a job as a Stewardess!, like her Friend TWTR4EVER

What a voice!

Beautiful voice that of Mary...

MS. MARY WILSON.............And the world still "CAN'T TAKE THEIR EYES OFF YOU" SUPREMELY SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job, Mary. When everyone started dancing the little guys like ‘What? What’s wrong with their feet, what in the heck are they trying to do?’

MS. MARY WILSON, "WE CAN'T TAKE OUR EYES OFF YOU" THANKS FOR THE MUSIC!

He's a cutie awww

MS MARY WILSON by her tenure and devotion to the group today is THE SUPREMES!

TWT Thanks for that Info.I wish I could go...IT sounds wonderful....Ms.Mary stays busy,all of the Time.........Appreciate you....

In 2012 MS.MARY WILSON while part of the cast of the motion picture "THE GOLDEN SHOES" being shot in location in Detroit Michigan she continues her musical engagements, Cabaret Show, USA Cultural Ambassador duties, Humpty Dumpty Institute commitments, her "REFLECTIONS, The Mary Wilson Supreme Collection" museum and art venues gowns and memorabilia exhibits and "The Lena Horne Project" with James Gavin that's been so well received are a testament of her diverse versatility and artistic gift!

Ms Mary Wilson, one of the three "founding members" (Florence Ballard & Diane Ross) of the still # 1 "female group of all times" THE SUPREMES! Today in 2013 she's the "living legacy" of the group and as the only member to have been in the lineup and under a recording contract for the duration (1959-1977) she remains the only one that collects "industry music royalties" for the full recording catalog of the group! That's an accomplishment Diane Ross has no claim too! Mary Wilson, you're SUPREME!

The Supremes of the Seventies created some truly wonderful music that is classic in it's own right.... Up the Ladder...Nathan Jones... Foy Joy... and on and on....great stuff !! Gotta LOVE it!!
