I was so sad to hear of the death of Mary Wilson of The Supremes. The group had one of the signature sounds of the 60s more or less introducing Motown to British audiences.
Though she started the group Wilson was not given the post of lead singer, perhaps because Diana Ross began a relationship with Motown boss Berry Gordy. Ross was pushed so much to the fore that the group’s name was altered to feature her. When she left singing duties were shared more fairly.
This is one of those later post-Ross hits, where all three members took the lead.
The Supremes: Nathan Jones
Mary Wilson: 6/3/1944 – 8/2/2021. So it goes.
