i never knew mary wilson was a doctor!

[ethnoiptv]

It's an honorary degree.

[jacksinclaircool]

what dose that mean?

[ethnoiptv]

That means...a university has chosen to give her a doctorate degree (in honor) of her contributions in music. In other words, she didn't have to earn the degree the old fashion way...making good grades and graduating. Hope that's helpful.

Oceanbound, you are such a liar. Mary Wilson is a superstar and musical legend that we have enjoyed the talents of for over 40 years. You can't change history and what a glorious history she has!!!

Yet you managed to make it to all her clips and watch them. Mary is on many of the Supremes records including 10 of their number ones. Her voice is also on their top 20 and top 10 hits so you know not what you speak.

Her Ability to Leech a Living off the work & Talents of  Diana Ross & Jean Terrell for Almost 50 Years is an Amazing Achievment!

I want Mary to know how important she, Flo, and Diana were to me growing up. They gave me so much, showed me so much, and gave my life direction. Thank you for giving me so much joy. And yes, you should have made the gazillions that these no talent "artists " of today are getting.
