We have a special place in our hearts for Mary Wilson, co- founder of The Supremes, who passed away suddenly yesterday at the age of 76. Considered the steady linchpin of the iconic group, she survived its many lineup changes, and on her own maintained the group's presence into the late 1970's. It took a special person to subsume her own great talent in being a "backup" vocalist for Diana Ross. But, in so many ways she was the beating heart of a group of "dreamgirls" that brought so much joy and pleasure to so many. Rest in peace.
To a female trailblazer and forever Sweetheart of Motown, who brought many timeless records for generations to come - Thank You.
