Rest in peace, dear Mary, you will be missed !!
R.I.P Mary Wilson may you be with the Lord
She is indeed with Jesus and will have her Angel wings .. God saved her from a cruel world.
Mary, Flo, Otis, Marvin, so, so, so many more. What a great reunion in the sky tonight. The people who made Motown (living and gone), were not just making a way for all the great music that followed in their footprints (Black and White) but they were social mavericks, civil rights leaders in their own rights. They bussed into towns where they could not eat at the restaurants, motels that would not let them in, venues that were being picketed. I dare say that there were some venues that the Supremes played where they couldn't sleep in the motel, but they probably had enough to buy the place on the spot. There had to be nights of fear and crying, uncertainty. But they were strong. They sang their truths, they sang their joys and their loves and their souls, their disappointments, their sadnesses, and their losses. God bless you, Mary Wilson!! You will always be a part of the heart of America, as will all the Motown greats!!!! RIP
Otis is still alive. But I get what you're saying in this paragraph how they dealt with racism while struggling to get to where they are.
@@jakimsingletary164 Thank you!!! Just one thing .... hate to break it to you, should have been clearer in my post. Otis Redding is dead, 1967. Not sure if it another Otis you were thinking about? But it's all good. Have a great day man.
@@glencmac oops so sorry, thought you were talking about Otis Williams from The Temptations. We good.
@@jakimsingletary164 Nope, totally my bad! Thanks for understanding!!!
Mary you saved The Supremes when Diana left and went to on to be solo. You indeed and the other former Supremes had hits until 1977. Thanks for saving out loved group The Supremes and we hope now you are at peace and in safe hands from a cruel world.
I saw her in Las Vegas in 2006 - so amazing; so beautiful; so timeless; so Supreme.
Glad she's getting the recognition she deserves
R I P Mary Wilson will be missed a class act what a beautiful queen🙏🏽🤍🙏🏽💕🙏🏽💕
A real classy act with her boob hanging out as she's doing a show breastfeeding. True class that one (on the pipe, and with her beloved Ripple with her in her casket).
RIP Mary SIP with Florence (blondie)🕊️💞
I'm English aged 65 and grew up with this beautiful black American music. I go to bed with motown playing. RIP Mary, great lady 🙏
BABY BABY ! BABY DON'T U LEAVE US R.I.P. MARY , AS A YOUNGSTER TO A TEEN AND YOUNG ADULT THE SUPREME HAD ME JUMPIN AND I LOVED EVERY HIT 😷❤
Hey Mary rest in peace sister.. I want you to know that all of your old Supremes hits have been remastered and released in 2021 on spotify where you can clearly hear you and flo singing. This proves that there were 3 voices on all those hits and that you were more then just a background singer. Thanks for keeping the legacy alive all these years .. Rest now beautiful Mary.
R.I.P
MARY WILSON
SUPREME
🌷🌷🌷🌷
I Ioved her!!! She is at peace now playing in heaven. God bless that lady!! I am 60yrs old and white and grew up with this music in my house
Me too. I am 60 and black. "Jimmy Mac, When R You Coming Back" was one of my favorites songs too. I sure miss that era. Just the fact that men were real men, and women were real women. Right was right, and wrong was wrong. Everybody knew the difference between immorality and morality. I use to go outside and play my sister and I with friends playing hide n seek, dodge ball, red light, green light, soccer or kickball, hopscotch, the only drugs you had to worry about not messing with were: heroin, LSD, and marijuana. Today you got all kinds of crazy mess going on!!! Smh🤦🏾♀️
Classy lady Rest In Peace
This hits home hard, my dad died recently, also 76.
I am so sorry for your loss!! My dad died 4yrs ago from pneumonia. He was the music in our home
You are not alone, I also know the pain and it can be really hard . Sending my love and prayers to you and your family. May your Dad Rest in Eternal Peace and may the Eternal Light Shine upon Him 🙏
So sorry for you❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. I still miss my dad, who passed in 1992, and I still cherish the memories with my sisters, from the laughs to the way he used to scold us. May God give you comfort.
🙏🙏🙏
Rest well Mary, You'll always be my most favorite Supreme. A class act!
RIP Mary. Forever in our hearts. I fondly remember my first Supremes record! Because of you we were inspired to dream big and reach for the stars!!!
Black history, American history and music history
RIP Mary, we love you!!
She had so much energy
Thank you for being a part of my yesterdays. Though I'm sad that you've left us...my heart smiles knowing you were excited about life and the days to follow. I can only hope and pray that when it's my time I'm just as excited about the days to come.
R I Paradise Mary. I'm so happy that you were a part of my yesterdays 🎶❤🎶
Some of the greatest music ever created.You just want to start singing along with these timeless hits.Don’t matter whether you are black or white,this music just made you feel happy.
Mary Wilson Will Always Be Remembered As The Nice One Of The Supremes ! Their Songs Will Last Forever And Ever ! RIP ( 1944 -2021)
We love you Mary Rest In Peace
The top girl singing group of all time. With a whopping 20 top-10 hits, and 12 number one hits, The Supremes are Billboard's top girl group of all time. At their peak, The Supremes rivaled The Beatles, and they were undoubtedly Motown's most commercially successful group. Florence Ballard, Diana Ross, and Mary Wilson sang in a style that bridged the worlds of pop and soul, creating their own genre of music.
RIP Mary my favourite and special supreme
What a brilliant singers they are I love this music amazing 👏 🎶 ❤
And please do not forget Florence ballad also discovered the Supremes
Luz Salcedo, she is another princess gone too soon.
Mary and Flo will never be forgotten... the fans will see to that🙂
I will never forget these Great Ladies RIP now Flo and Mary SIP 🕊️💕
I'm reminded and reliving the music.
Beautiful 🙏🌷💐🌹
It was great she wasn't British
She was one of us a real American. Love Diana Ross. Love Mary Wilson. Love Florence Ballard. I love them all. They are truly the supremes.
Rip a legend
RIP Mary 💔😢
Hi Amy, how are you?
RIP Mary.
RIP Mary ,Prayers for her family.I loved your music. 🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹
Rest dear Mary!
Sadly Diana's ego stopped her from truly forgiving Mary from writing Dreamgirls. The book was not a direct attack on Diana, it was about the 'warts n all' side of the music business and how not all friendships are perfect, especially not when you mix business with pleasure. I believe deep down Diana loved Mary, but she would never show it.
Two VERY different woman, but both share a wonderful history, and no one can change that.
I think instead of mourning Mary's death, we should celebrate her life. Such a shame this had to happen during Lockdown.
Mary deserves so much recognition for keeping the legacy of The Supremes alive - something Diana has never done.
I hate to speak ill of the dead but she used Diana to remain in the public eye and be relevant .
I was shocked to hear that she was offered the lead singer position when Diana left . But she turned it down . She had the opportunity but turned her back on it. After years complaining of Diana getting all the attention .
Mary stated Oprah loves Diana that’s why I was never invited to the legends ball.
Again using Diana to sell a book
Supreme glamour . Why didn’t she do a book on the fashion she wore in the 60’s???. She knew like a lot Motown stars of the 60’s people have forgotten them and would not have bought her books if it was solely about her.
@@GayBlkWorld Well if you want to talk about Oprah...she's just a pretentious egotistical woman..just like Diana hence why they are friends.in fact it's not even a friendship Diana and Oprah share, they just use each other for airtime and promotion...Mary on the other hand never had a big ego..she was down to earth and friendly and always bubbly and jolly..and the saddest thing about this whole thing is she just wanted Diana to love her. So she wrote Dreamgirls - big deal. That was one book which barely damaged Diana's career. DR is a musical legend. She has had major success. Mary did not want to ruin Diana with Dreamgirls. Quite the opposite.
But anyway we could talk about this over and over and reflect on bad times which I no longer wish to do..I wish to now celebrate Mary's legacy..she was one third of the most successful girl group in history..she made many millions of people happy. And she was a very successful artist with a big heart.
End of.
Rest in Mary you know the truth and too we’re imperfect .
So true Mary Wilson has kept the Supremes legacy founded by her close friend Florence Ballard now reunited with your sister Supreme Florence Ballard. Rest in peace Mary Wilson a truly nice lady. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 As for Diana it doesn't surprise me.
@@GayBlkWorld Do you know what Mary Wilson has passed away and all you can do is harp on about DR you want to remember what DR did to get to be lead singer in the Supremes. And have some respect for Mary Wilson it's the old story calling them when they pass away Good God Mary Wilson only passed away 2 days ago. It doesn't take long for all the name calling to surface did it just like when Florence Ballard died have you ever heard the saying don't speak ill of the dead. I can't believe what you said. She's not even been laid to rest yet. At least now she is with her sister Supreme Florence Ballard 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh no!!! 😓😓😓 RIP Beautiful 🌅
Florence ballard and mery wilson are together in the heaven
Gotta love how Channel 4 can't even get easily-accessed information correct. It's called "You Keep Me Hangin' On", folks. Basic research before you go to air!
She co-hosted the Timeline classic hits of the 60's with Gary Puckett.I imagine she's gone to be with the Supreme beings.
RIP Mary thank you for the great special music. you really didn't get a good deal from Diana & Barry. God Bless your family.
That's for sure!
RIP..What a shame..Mary Wilson.
She will always remain in our hearts ❤️
Hi Stella, how are you?
Stop in the name of love
Heartbroken....
What s wonderful performer
Deeply sad RIP Mary cx
I saw her in person at Foxwoods Resort; (2009) she was so nice & her voice was amazing!
That’s sad she didn’t get to release the music. ❤
❤️
💔💔💔
rip mary wilson
A lot of high profilers going down these last few years 🤔
Ikr!!! Alot of black legendary people too. White people of that era living all the way up into their 90's. I wonder why the African American morality is so great, with the acception of Cicsley Tyson. She lived to be 96, and then again miss Tyson was also a vegetarian for life too, God bless her. Aretha Franklin, Mary Wilson, and Sheryl Ballard not sure what state their health was in, and Diana Ross drank alcohol I read alot. I suppose when it's your time it's your time. No one knows the plan God has in your life. That's why we must be vigilante and ready for our Lord Jesus, because we don't know when he will return to gather his church. Saints be ready. Pray, read the word, and ask God to show you the way. Amen and God be with us all Amen. Thank you Jesus.
RIP
Mary Wilson R.I.P. you will always be a Supreme! Me and your brother Roosevelt were in a drill team back in the day in the Brewster Projects, the name being The Military Hawks l haven't seen your brother in years maybe the 1960s
Rip

Sad sad news
Baby, baby where did our love go?
Were they really skipping through oncoming traffic back then? It takes a Supreme person to do that.
R.I.P Miss Wilson.
She was part of my youth!
Jehovah God promises that those who have died will live again in Isaiah 26:19:
"Your dead will live. My corpses will rise. Wake up and shout for joy, residents of the dust! For your dew is like the morning dew, and the earth will let those who are powerless in death live again."
He will bring them back to life; that is the hope of the resurrection.
Odpocivaj v pokoji,mary.dakujeme a nikdy na teba nezabudneme.good bye.thank your very much.peter ragac,slovakia
I wonder if she received the Sniffle vax!
