I woke up to the sad news this morning that Mary Wilson – one of the founding members of The Supremes – died yesterday.
I interviewed Mary Wilson for this podcast in late July. In fact, she was one of the first guests on the RPM45 podcast. It was an honor. Mary looked great on our Zoom call, was extremely gracious to me and open to sharing her life experiences, including her beginnings, how she got together with her fellow Supremes. and how she kept the group going after Florence Ballard's death and Diana Ross's departure.
Even though Mary had been in the entertainment industry for six decades, she remained enthusiastic and not even thinking about retirement. Her love of performing burned brightly.
And she was committed to a cause.…To have her good friend former Supreme Florence Ballard – who died more than 4 decades earlier - commemorated on a U.S. stamp. (For more info, check out this web page: https://about.usps.com/who/csac/#process )
I found Mary Wilson a beautiful person in every way, talented, smart and inspiring. And now, in her honor, I want to share that experience with you.
