Wonderful singer, her music was very much a part of us growing up in the 70s. RIP Mary a Motown great.

I saw the Supremes back in the 1970s by which time Cindy Birdsong had replaced Florence Ballard.

But I also saw Diana Ross in 1994. Wasn't too bothered about going to be honest but went with some friends with work. I was right to go, she was simply brilliant that night. I hope you get the chance to see her.

Sad loss today with the passing of Mary, a very talented Supreme.

Another sad loss from a vibrant era. A wonderful group, who along with The 4 Tops I don't think made a bad record. RIP Mary Wilson.

When i saw mary wilson she also did a bit of chat as well as singing, would say she was no fan of diana ross!
