Look how much Mary enjoys singing lead. After years of ‘oohs, ahhs, and baby, baby’ - she finally got her moment.

[@071oakland]

Mary Wilson you never did let your fans down!! You crossed right over that bridge with The New Supremes!! And those hits are off the chain!! Up the ladder to the roof. Stone Love. Floyd Joy. Let my heart do the walking!! Nothing but soul! R.I.P. Queen Mary Wilson!! Now you and Florence Ballard can sing those heavenly harmonies!😇😇

[@derekatkins1773]

Yes the seventies Supremes was indeed supreme too. Their hits are legendary.

[@Rhythm973]

Imagine how much more amazing the original Supremes would have been had they traded leads like this!

[@IamRocque]

That’s how they started off but Diana became the hit maker at the time with her unique voice and added layer to the groups vocals. Things happen for a reason sometimes.

[@Sasha-ch7ic]

Look at KZbin and find some of the Supremes merry is singing the song and Diana Ross's introducing her, Mary Wilson singing old song.

[@lillianmunster4734]

Love This ❤ they shared the Lead 💖💖💖

[@careyconley4690]

@@IamRocque there was frankly nothing "unique" about Diana's voice. That was simply an internal decision to make her the focal point, rather than showcasing the talents of all three. Diana was probably the LEAST unique vocally, but she had the most "pop" voice.

[@step3892]

@@careyconley4690 Diana Ross and Jean Terrell had two of the most UNIQUE voices in pop music history. Florence had a great voice, but more commonplace, not a unique voice. If Florence was the lead, the Supremes would have sounded a lot like most other female groups at the time.

Its very rare that a lead singer can leave a group and the group still be great. I love the Diana Ross years as well. When music was changing and the group changed in 70, the transformation just worked! I wish that a Supremes movie or series was put together before they passed.

Mary's voice always sounds good on they're tracks. It would have been nice if Motown utilized her vocals more in the songs. It has always annoyed me when groups don't use the other members talents optimally. The Pointer Sisters did a very good job of that and even The Spice Girls of all groups.
