You are a VERY gifted composer. Beautiful work with the piano and I'm very picky and have great taste in musicians. You don't sound like anybody else and yet have the same musical genius/gift that other great artists such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, etc. did when they first started out. They stood out because you knew that they were going to become great artists. You have the same talent as a composer. No shit. Good luck! ;-)
you have a great gifted voice, Im from philly and i once met your mom at the Penn Relays ( a yearly track meet held in philly ) and I wish you well @ Santa Monica College, LOOK FORWARD AND DON'T LOOK BACK !
This is really weird. I just read the Dream Chaser article as well and I noted the ever-present 10:49 time, but I didn't think anything of it. Then I clicked this link and listened to this song. Still thought nothing of it. I looked at the time and realized that I began to listen to your song at exactly 10:49pm. Amazing... When I was a kid, I thought that your mother was a hero. After reading this article and hearing this song, I am even more convinced. Bless her and you.
Mary that was beautiufl, just read the article about your Mom...I totally believe in the after-life and know she is with you families Can be together forever thru God's plan...keep that enduring faith of your Momma's alive, always be true to your inner light...
Would just like to say I have always been a big fan of your moms and I ran across the story for espn, it really touched me and I would like to say good luck in what ever you do.
Hey Lil Cousin... "whew" I see you turned out well... all grown up now. It's been so long. You need to holla at me. I sent you an invite on face book. I'm on the east coast now though...
While I'm rambling, how did you get the keyboard to play the higher notes inverted like that? That's kinda fOnky!
Hey people, this is Al Joyner and Flo-Jo's daughter, woof! I just read the ESPN article, man i cried like a baby! Wish you luck Mary; great job, keep on the good work, stay positive! Oh, and say hi to your dad, good life! God Bless ya'll!
You have a beautiful voice, I saw some of your other videos also and would be shocked if you werent signed 2 a record label soon you are better than anyone I heared on the radio all day, seriously lol. I know college track works out better for u than it did for me, started running d-2 in tampa couldnt hack it. now i coach an aau team i started for middle school kids wile i finish college. Gl at Santa Monica wish u nothing but the best.
Just read the the story on ESPN and it brought me to tears. Your family has a remarkable and touching story. You're DESTINED to be GREAT so don't worry about a thing. I wish you the best!
I had the fortunate pleasure of seeing your mother run in Indianapolis Olympic Trials the year she set the World Record-I was amazed to see that kind of beauty and grace.
You have your own beauty and grace-don't worry about trying to be anyone but you. Live your own dreams.
I just read the ESPN "Dream Chaser" about your family. I pray that you have much success in whatever you do. Just know that you are blessed to have parents that love you and want the best for you...I will always be a fan of Flo Jo, and back when your dad was in college, Arkansas State he attended my fathers church, he always spoke highly about him and how nice of a person he is. Be Blessed!
I just read the ESPN article and you and your family are a true inspiration. Keep following your dreams and discovering your passion, there is nothing to hold you back. One of my favorite lines in literature is "To thine ownself be true" and your mom lived out those words to the maximum and I know that you are, too. Keeping you and your family in my prayers over here in Israel.
First and foremost, I want to say God Bless You and your family. I read ESPN's story, and it proved that one has to stay strong, even during the toughest times. There's no limit to what you can do, and, Mary, you are proving it. Again, God bless, and much success.
I am crying "Alot" I love the song and you are a very special young lady! The story on ESPN was uplifting and as a son of a famous man who passed away too early!! I understand how things can be at times while you are on your own journey! Stay blessed and know that the world have all "Cried A Little" for you and your family!!!
You are very Beautiful just like your Momma! That is a beautiful song to go with that Beautiful voice of yours. My Dad just passed and left me confused. Your song is a lifting. Thank you and God Bless.
I just read the ESPN article, and it brought this grown man to tears because I would not know what to do with myself if I lost my wife. But it also put an enourmous smile on my face to see that your family has endured and found peace within the situation. I know that you will be great at whatever you do. Be blessed
I'll be honest, i had heard of Flo-Jo, but I didn't really know anythign about your family until I read the article. Music is such a gift to those who possess it, don't let your dream get away
this is great, you're very talented. your mother was a pioneer and an inspiration to female athletes everywhere, myself included. i wish you all the best in all of your endeavours. <3
beautiful song, lovely melody and heart-felt lyrics. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself. I have a brother who works in Santa Monica...please find him and start dating him.
Mary, I'm not a religious fanatic, but your story reminds me of Proverbs 6:20-22, change son with daughter. It's a passage my mother gave me when I parted to go play football at Arizona St Univ when I was in my youth in '87, so meaningful and reminded me my parents were always with me though apart...and to honor them in word and deed. I'm anxious to see how your career plays out. Know millions of eyes unseen are watching how your life unfolds, comes with the territory of being FloJo's baby.
Mary, what an incredible article! Been a fan of mom and pops since '84. Wondered what happened to Flo Jo's little girl....what a nice catch up. Very inspiring people, the three of you...Alesha must be too to be with your dad.. Having read the article, Im that much more proud of your parents and so proud you've grown up well. God bless you in all your endeavors....you're all some of our Lord's most beloved. Will happily await hearing more of you and your life Mary. Much love for your fam!
Thank you, thank you, bless you all. It means so much to me for people to hear my music. It is my world and my strength. Hope all is well. -Mary Joyner

You are an extremely talented woman and I'm sure your mother is very proud of you and the person you've become.
Your mom was my favorite athlete growing up and it sure is nice to see how well you and your father are doing now. God bless you and I wish you the best.
I just read the article by tom on espn. Wow, this had me in tears, Mary you are an inspiration for me and many others. Your Mom lives through you and your Dad. Thank you so much for the great song. Look forward to seeing you make it either on the track field or the studio. Your Dad and Mom and you are unbelievable. Thank you so much
wow...like many below me, I just finished the ESPN acticle. And it also brought tears to my eyes. you have a beautiful voice, and i wish you the best of luck come track time.
Just read about your family story on ESPN....Very inspirational........I am proud of you and your family...Really refreshing article....Brought tears to my eyes......Wish u and your family the best......You are all blessed.......
Amazing article!! I grew up watching your mom run in the Olympics. My three favorite athlete's in the 80's was Magic, Carl Lewis and Flo Jo. Such a beautiful woman, amazing athlete, but most of all an incredible soul! Your song really touched me. I am part of a bereavement camp for kids called Comfort Zone Camp. I think your song would be perfect to share with the campers. I will share your story with them and perhaps you can come and share your song and/or be a mentor to a camper.
I also read the story on ESPN. You and your father are indeed brave and may you continue to be an inspiration to others and use your gift for God's glory!
mary i just got done reading the ESPN article about your father, your mother, and yourself, and i wanted to wish you the best of luck at santa monica.
Just curious, Mary... It seems that you play the high notes with your left hand and the lower notes with your right hand .... this would be the opposite of your basic piano. Is the video reversed?
10-4-9....... I have always said, I wish I had the gift to sing. TONE DEF, not going to happen for me. Believe it or don't, I finished reading Dream Chaser, scrolled back up to click this link, as I did I looked at the time...YEP! 10:49.... BELIEVHER. Never stop dreaming! Give it your all, whether it be singing or track...shoot do both! Get your Platinum and your GOLD! Best wishes! ...still a little weirded out..
It's alright. I'd say fine tune the piano part or maybe the piano part is fine and you just need to play it on an actual piano. But I'd say you're a star in the making. You got the voice for it. :/ good luck kid.
wonderful! keep it up.....remember what nina simone said to her band: "Y'all pushin. You're pushin. Just relax. It'll go up by itself. Just relax. Don't put nothin in it unless you feel it. I'll go up by itself! " Beautiful!
Your,Your,Fo-Jo's daughter i'm oing a progect on her in class god bless and never stop running or singing and don't forget 10:49
