I don't think but wish she did!

Diana Ross was always excellent with The Supremes. What I want to know is why this woman -- Mary Wilson -- a member of The Supremes -- never got a lead vocal shot. Even Keith Richards got to sing lead on a Stones track, Ringo sang lead on a Beatles song, and Ben Orr sang lead on a hit for The Cars. Mary Wilson is excellent. Maybe she did sing lead on an LP track? Maybe? Someone educate me. I just don't know for sure. She is just wonderful.

@lastrada52 Mary Wilson did sing some ballads during their tours and on the LP's. Even Flo got a shot a that as well. I don't think even Mary would argue that she had a lead vocal voice. Mary's contribution to the huge success of the Supreme's was that of back ground singer. I love her velvety voice and have loved it since I was 5 yrs old. As great as Diana and Flo's voice was, Mary stood out to me! Not only that, she was certainly the most beautiful Supreme to date, and still is!

12 years ago Wilson reported that her income was a million a year, given inflation and her steady increase in popularity, that's probably a couple of million now. I wonder how many other background singers make that today? My guess is she is the only one. Big solo star or no she remains a celebrity, a presence and a force for change in the music industry and the world. Not bad for 47 years after "Ooh baby, baby"

@utubeme98 You couldn't have said it any better! Mary will always be a wonderful celebrity and very gracious. I will see her eveytime she comes to San Francisco!

When I first heard Mary sing this song I was blown away. Mary sings this song with so much emotion and feeling. She is a true artist with a special vocal gift. I am proud to say for over thirty years Mary Wilson has been my favorite singer and entertainer.

The Lady can interprete a lyric. Miss Wilson, we like her

[joopsnoop]

Did she d o a studio version of this song?

[JJN259]

This song is excellent for Mary's smokey alto voice. I also love "Fields of Gold" and "New York State of Mind".  Mary is a classy, beautiful lady. Love her!

@willtomb True.  Mary did get rich on Diana's back, but at the same time while Mary was on Diana's back, so too was Diana on Mary's back getting rich!

@lastrada52 Yea, this is a great version. Mary should have had a bit more leads in the 60s, but she is heard a bit more on lead in the 70s line up, which really show case her voice. Songs such as, Automatically Sunshine and Touch are really good with her partial lead.

[neildavid1000]

are u aware that mary wrote a number of records ross has never done this at any time. check supreme releases to check.

[neildavid1000]

what a legend here

[rameller1]

@lastrada52 You are right on target. Mary did record some leads with The Supremes in the 60s and many more with the group in the 70s after Miss Ross left. Mary was a mezzo and did not have "the sound" that became associated with The Supremes so most of the time she remained in the background doing some great harmonies. But she was and is a great live performer with her bubly personality and good looks. Probably one of the most beautiful women of her generation hence a great asset to the trio.
