I met Mary when she was promoting Supreme Glamour. She was beautiful and so nice to everyone. I told her that Nathan Jones was one of my favorite 70s Supremes songs and that my middle name was Nathan. She started singing "Nathan Jones you been gone too long" and I joined in! She autographed my book "To Harry, my own Nathan Jones". She was truly a legend and one of the sweetest celebrities.

[@LiberaceProtege]

Mary gave me the single best piece of advice ever back when I was young and starting out in the business as a live nightclub act in the 1970s. She told me to always invest my money in the best sound reinforcement equipment (P.A.system and mics) that I could afford. She said that way no matter what happens in my career, no matter the dive bars we all have to play starting out, no matter if it's for big money or low money, no matter if you are a hit in the room or if you bomb in the room.... at least you'll sound good. Sound your best, do a show you're proud of, take the money, and with your head held high go on to the next gig. You'll end up with a reputation for sounding great because of that sound system you carry from gig to gig. Turned out she was right. Thanks for that Mary.

[@mondocjenson-dy8zd]

RIP Mary.

[@pcno2832]

That's excellent advice. So many public performances by so many artists sound like crap, substituting volume for fidelity. I know that many in the audience are happy just to hear their idols perform, but if it sounds good, the performance will be a lot more memorable and the audiences will have more reason to return for more.

I worked at a correctional facility in California. One of our inmates, who was originally from Sweden I believe, loved Mary Wilson so much that when she immigrated to the USA, she legally changed her name to Mary Wilson! She was a very unusual inmate, always a pain in the rear end, but I always found it funny because Mary Wilson was obsessed with Mary Wilson.

​@@maryellenshockVery good book. Excellent read.

[@callmemonkh9020]

Yes...the first part I read, and really enjoyed! There was also a sequel book, she wrote.

[@Tes7000]

Both were excellent books. Dreamgirls was a bestseller for fans wanting the scoop on Diana Ross, but I also have to highly recommend Mary's second book, Supreme Faith. Diana and Florence appear periodically in Supreme Faith, but the book mostly details the struggles of the group as it declined in popularity. Mary gradually took over almost all management aspects of the group, and the book is practically a master class in group management and dealing with a record label. The book also details Mary's abusive marriage through her divorce in the early 80s. It is a much more interesting read than most would suspect.

I met Mary in 2016 working at an Apple Store when she came in to buy a new phone. I tried to stay composed, but eventually had to tell her how huge of a fan I was of hers and the supremes. She was absolutely shocked. Being a heavily tattooed white man in my 20’s she found it hard to believe I was a fan of Motown, but once she could sense my true excitement and enthusiasm she started telling me stories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I’ll never forget that day. I think back on that chance interaction often and smile. Thank you Mary, hope you’re resting easy.

Hello Scott, I appreciate this respectful video in memory of Mary Wilson. She was always my favorite Supreme. However, I think you are mistaken in two of your statements. Motown did not exactly "throw the Supremes under the bus" as you stated. Its is true that Motown did not concentrate extra effort to promote them and their music. However, the Supremes were not an unsuccessful group after Diana Ross left. In fact, they had a string of hit songs while Diana Ross as a solo artist was having no hit songs. Please give those lovely ladies of the new Supremes proper credit. You also stated that in the Holy Cross Cemetery one must have a Catholic symbol of some kind on your gravestone "or you don't count." This statement is disparaging of the Roman Catholic Church, and has no basis in fact. It might be wise to communicate with a representative of Holy Cross Cemetery with your concerns before making such a disparaging statement in a video. The remains of Mary Wilson are buried at Holy Cross. She counts. And I'm sure that the people in the office of the cemetery would agree.

So he made Diane the lead singer and changed the stage name to Diana. The 1st album Meet The Supremes with Florence doing most of the lead vocals underperformed. The 2nd album made history with Diana up front. Plus Berry was romantically involved with a then 19/20 yr old Diana.

But They had a handful of gold million selling Hits & I remember seeing them on television many many many times til Ms. Wilson disbanded her group. I remember when She & they came back home to Detroit for the last time in 1976 at The Roostertail Club on the Detroit river front for a week & it was Sold Out.. They were on the news & great stories & write ups in all the newspapers. most of the attention was focused on Mary, it was the 1st Homecoming for them since the early 1970s.. thank you again. this was nice..

She enjoyed the company of well-endowed white men, bragging about dating Tom Jones and James Caan. I was a bit shocked, but damn, I had a private audience with Mary Wilson!

In February 1965, “Stop In The Name Of Love” was climbing the charts and went to #1 the day after Diana’s 21st bday on March 27. The Supremes had so many great hits that have stood the test of time.

This was Diana Ross last hit song with the Supremes, Florence passed away too soon. When I was leaving in California with my sister we went to Dream Girls, Beyonce though she won that Oscar, but Jennifer took that song sung actually by Jennifer tore it upppp!!!.playing Florence Balard part.

I first met Mary when she was a "No Hit Supreme" and everytime I saw her after that, I always got a big hug from here. What a sweet, beautiful lady!

I stay in Henderson whenever I go out there because it's off the beaten path. Loved and miss her...😢

RIP Miss Mary Wilson🙏🏽🙏🏽

Mary looked so gorgeous, energetic and hopeful two days before her death. I researched the cause and she had hypertension heart disease. If she stayed on top of her high blood pressure with monitoring and the right meds, it could have been prevented. High blood pressure is a leading cause of heart attack deaths. It is possible to look and feel great, not knowing the inner ticking time bomb. The “natural causes” declaration is a missed opportunity to educate people about this common cause of death.

They were the Supremes, period!

Why did everyone hate Diana Ross so much for leaving the Supremes? Other Artists left Bands to go Solo. I would love you to do a video about Diana.

I thought I heard that when DR left the Supremes that the new Supremes did not perform at many of the same places that the Original Supremes performed. I guess they didn't want the new Supremes to get in the way of DR performing at the same places.

​@@bubaby7867When Diana left the Supremes, most of the top tier support staff assigned with the group left with her. Mary, Jean and Cindy literally had to start from scratch. Mary even said so in her book. They were basically a brand new group. And then there was the whole thing about Berry Gordy changing his mind about Jean Terrell at the last minute. So sad...but that's show business!

Hello 👋 Sharon...

Wow. Still a very pretty lady at the end.

In 1993 we stayed across the road from the Frontier. Every now and then you could hear music blast out. When we walked over to see what was happening it came from a group of Hotel Union workers who were on strike over know wages. I asked how long they had been on strike and was staggered to find out they had been out for 23 months! One of the demonstrators had a placard which said Room???? Is never available to the public as it rumoured to be used to manufacture Drugs!

Legend has it that he's STILL rubbing that Tiger Tail.😂 "You heard me."

[@ervina02]

I love Mary Wilson she was so beautiful!!! She reminds me of Otis Williams of the Temptations he keeps the Temptaions alive just like she kept The Supremes alive!!! REST IN HEAVENLY PARADISE MARY WILSON I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

[@carlbaker7242]

I appreciate your video on her. I always felt she had that natural personality that had nothing to do with showbiz beautiful people. One other thing i had to smile about was that book of matches. I have a gallon milk jug filled with match books form different traveled locations , also from local locations from the 70s. and which none have been used.

[@writer422]

May she rest in peace 💖
