Why is there always squabbling about The Supremes. Yes Diana was more driven and determined to be a star than Mary and Flo. During those years, Mary just accepted being a backup singer, but it seems in later years she started resenting the fact they she never achieved the level of fame and notoriety that Diana did. And Flo was resentful from the beginning that she was only a backup singer, and amongst other things, it took its toll on her, which led to her spiraling downward.
A Ross put down? It seems you have not follow Mary through the years. She's always traveling and perfoming plus she is active in half a dozen charities and serves our country as a goodwill ambassor in many countries. She has a lot to say besides bashing Diana. Check it out!
Maybe so, but she's best known for one thing: backstabbing her freind in the back, selling her out with a vicious tell all book that she used to enrich herself. can you say Judas? the title fits well for her.
diana deserves all the bashing she gets, and i don't think she's lying, ms. ross slept with all the leading men including michael jackson, how low can u go?
@yurherenow Are you serious? Ask Flo how Diane backstabbed and connived, conspired with Berry to get her out of the group! Oh yeah, I forgot, you can't ask her now because she passed away from a broken heart that Diane Ross helped to break!
@DetroitLives313 if that's the case maybe it was because flo didn't have the same work ethic that "diane" had.. it was said flo wanted to settle down and raise a family & not invest in a career at the same level that diane did.
@yurherenow Bullshit and you need to go to hell. You are a member, go look up Florence's interviews, in her own words and learn really happened since you are evidently too lazy to go to the library and pick up a book. Stop spreading lies and bullshit about Mary Wilson......she is OURS and a true legend!
@DetroitLives313 really?? well let me break it down for you.. flo was a fat lazy drunk who wanted to sleep until 1:00pm,in the afternoon. she was content to be a welfare recipient & that's exactly how she ended her lazy career. yes too bad she died, but don't blame diane because fo had no initiative.. at least she did have talent as a singer unlike Mary who was never anything but diane's back up singer. flo should have used her talent to further her career instead of being a lazy pig.
@yurherenow I am very happy that you said what you just did, because now anyone that should happen to read it will KNOW that you are fool and just another Diane Ross asshole. No need to break it down for me, I was close enough to that story as it unfolded to know what really happen and that is all I will say. See ya!
@DetroitLives313 yeh you needed it broken down cause you're delusional & just anothyer jealous diana ross hater. keep hating fool while she's laughing all the way to the bank. Mary wilson was a talentless back stabbing low life bitch, flow was a fat lazy un-motivated drunk, diana was a super nova... tht wasn't a good mix, she ended it, the world loved it fo died on welfare (lol) Mary sings in joints that sell 4 checken wings for a dollar. so yeh see ya fool.
@yurherenow You've never read any of the two books Miss Wilson has published and are following the urban legend. If you read the books without any preconceived notions you'll notice how mild the so called "attacks" are. Actually there are more paragraphs praising Diana than bashing her. I think that deep down they still love each other and someday (no pun inteded) they'll be together. Wait and see.
@bellacharo you think so? well they better not wait too much longer they're all pushing 70, they only have a few more yrs unless you think someone wants to see 80 yr old supremes.
@yurherenow It is true that time is their worth enemy. All three ladies (Diana, Mary and Cindy) are visibly affected by the passing of the years but nothing is impossible. My bet is that The Supremes will reunite, for one last time, in the immediate future. So my message to all the Mary bashers and to the Diana bashers is that they better hold their stupid tongues.
dahhhh,,, I think you missed my point. First of all, I am 53 and the worlds number one Supreme fan. I have every 45 and lp they made. I am proud of the Supremes too, not for being black, but for their determination to acheive their goals. hard work prevailed. However, their color had nothing to do with their success, it was their music. Who cares what color they are. Do you think anyone cares that the Drifters were black when they listened to Under the Boardwalk,,,,
I am a but surprised that Mary stressed so many times in this interview ,,black this and black that. The Supremes race was never a issue,,,in fact white America loved them...We will never get past the race issue if the blacks as well as the whites, stop bringing it up.
Are you serious? The Supremes were 3 beautiful BLACK women from Detroit. In the sixties we were called "colored". She has every right to be proud of being a beautiful, talented, black woman! I am proud of her! Diana Ross is Black too, by the way..........
however if you read autobiographies of some of the really early black artists like Ethel Waters they say that the term "colored" or "negro" was respectful while the term "black" was insulting - Waters got very put out if you referred to her as "black".
I totally agree with you, and I'm about as white as a man can be...although I like to think I have soul:o)...btw, I was recently at Hitsville for the first time. A true honour to be in Studio A.
@peacemonger1967 I was one of the charter volunteer members of the Hitsville Museum over 20 years and thank you for saying that! Visit again by all means.
I was a child during the 60's and white America did not open their doors to Black entertainers like they did for the whites. Some part of the country white people were kinf but for the most they were not. Black entertainer could not eat at some of the places where they performed. My mother will tell you along with the Blacks of generations that they thinkl Little Richard , Chuck Berry and BoDille were the kings of Rock Roll.
I listend to this several times and Mary just makes you love her more and more. I am glad she was having a great time that night. lets look forward to the day which is coming in January of a photo shoot with Cindy and Diana and maybe all the Former Supremes,
Thank you. Motown was going to do a movie on the group but Diane refused to sign on the project. Plus Babyface's ex wife was going to produce a movie based on Mary's book, but Motown wouldn't give her the rights to the music.
Mary really doesn't need motown music rights. a realy great music producer can create some similar sounding songs or stick to the Broadway show tunes that the girls did in order to convey their style, besides its all about the backstage drama to me. Thats what I want to see, I have all the "soundtracks" anyway. as do we all.
Yep, but they didn't want to give them the rights to use the music. Plus I have a feeling that the label didn't wanna give it the greenlight because it would have focused on the Supremes during the 1960's and 1970's era
Mary looked and sounded beautiful. I think some people are projecting issues on to her that perhaps they have!--and come on -jealous of a 64 year old woman who has worked so hard-and cruel to her too! Time for serious therapy.
give her a break, the woman is 64 years old and she was after all one of The Supremes. if she had a drink or two and is having fun she deserves it. She put a girl group in the map back in the 60s with diana and florence. we all still listen to their hits. We love you Mary!!!
Mary's nice and all but there's absolutely no doubt that she's drunk as a sponge and looks awful. She's normally pretty but the drunker she gets the uglier she is.
For God´s sake.. Miss Wilson looks fabulous and her neck piece is very nice. I think some people prefer Miss Diana ross and say nasty things about the other members. Mary wilson is a very humanitarian person who happens to be very kind and giving.
Wow she's like a walking Christmas Tree. Bling, bling, bling! Turn off those lights! The fake jewelry screams FAKE. LOL! I bet she couldn't pass a breath test. If she's not careful she's going to end up like Diana falling asleep in her own vomit.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That jewelry looks like it came from a thrift store fire sale. The necklace probably cost $1.59. Only Connie would say, "Wow, I can wear this and try to look as rich as Diana Ross."
Bulgari makes some very loud but very exspensive jewelry. They may not be to your taste (But then again do you really have any ?) but they are hardly cheap. Like your constant and annoying opinions.
Mary Wilson is looking gorgeous! I love how that guy keeps sneaking peaks at her boobs and licking his lips! Love it! Thanks for sharing this, the5thmedium!!!
