The music industry is dirty, always have been , always will be. My guy was my jam, the Womac story was crazy! Nicotine is definitely a addiction, may she be Resting In Peace!!
She made a terrible mistake leaving Motown at the pinnacle of her success. She may have been robbed or some money but on a new label there was no composer that could write such fantastic songs like Smokey Robinson.
A sad ending and so young. She unfortunately sabotaged her career right at the very heigh of her success. We'll never know what might have happened and what further success she might have had if she had remained at Motown. Waiting in the wings were the Supremes who quickly overshadowed Mary's success, achieving legendary status within just a few short years. Mary recorded some great tracks when she left Motown but nothing clicked for her. A true 60s soul music pioneer who recorded one of the most beloved songs of all time.
I had no favorite one song. I listened and partied and enjoyed all her music. She as well as Tammi Terrell were female pioneers in their time. And as usual you are on point with another great video
Mary Wells deserved so much more than she received in her career, especially after she left Motown. My favorite song from Mary Wells is "My Guy". The music business is a cutthroat business! #RIPMARYWELLS!
My mother said she was the most down earth one at Motown. see all of them at the Greystone ballroom in Detroit. The Beatles loved her. My favorites are. Old standby. Laughing boy. You beat me to the punch. what two can easily do. Two lovers. Smokey could write his butt off.
The One Who Really Loves You, You Beat Me To The Punch, Two Lovers, Your Old Standby, What's Easy For Two Is So Hard For One, My Guy, Laughing Boy, Once Upon A Time and What's The Matter With You Baby featuring Marvin Gaye, I Don't Want To Take A Chance, You Lost The Sweetest Boy, Bye Bye Baby, Operator, What Love Has Joined Together, Dear Lover, Dig The Way I Feel are my favorites By Sweet Mary Wells, keep them coming man.
She could've achieved greatness if the push was given to her as Motown did for the Supremes and other Motown artists. The One who really loves you. Them Womack brothers Cecil & Curtis played a major part of her downs and her lows. RIP the first woman of Motown Mary Wells-Womack. She had that first husband giving her bad advice. She deserves all the accolades that were taken from her out of greed.
You really can’t sue a radio station for playing a legitimate commercial record release. Politics played a part in radio stations not playing a lot of Mary’s post Motown singles since there was competition about amongst disc jockeys about who would be the first to play the latest potential “hit”. The carrot dangled was “don’t play that…if you do you won’t get this”.
I love the Mary wells video dawg her story was most definitely interesting can you add this to the list Billy Paul he did the song me and Mrs Jones and Carl Douglas he did the song Kung fu fighting I'm always watching and enjoying the content dawg 🔥👌
I wished Mary Wells would have never left Motown but the records she made after Motown are treasures … Dig The Way I Feel, Love Shooting Bandit, I’m Sorry, He’s A Lover, Cancel My Subscription, Stop Taking Me For Granted, If You Can’t Give Her Love, I’m Changing My Ways, These Arms, and Gigolo
All of Mary's work with Smokey was 🔥🔥🤎🤎had she stayed put and renegotiated her contract her life possibly wouldn't have taken the twists&turns it did,from a financial point of view..her entanglement with the Womack Bros was some nasty work.😮🤷🏾♀️🤦🏽♀️
Appreciate hearing the story regarding the legandary Ms. Mary Wells.🌹 Beat Me To The Punch, Your Old Standby, My Guy and Dear Lover are my favs by her. I wish things would have worked out with Motown. She left right at her height.
Thanks for your great video! Mary was great. Love My Guy. Motown made the artistes stars but they made sure THEY took the money. I think Mable John was better with Stax Volt where she could really sing the Blues. I love Mable
I am from Detroit and still live in Detroit. All blacks did not stay on the East side, which is where Black Bottom was located. My parents live on the West side.
Mary Wells was one my favorite Vocalist of all time. The A.I. was horrible. The Womacks Brothers all them was bums. Barry Gordy was the Don King of Music.
This is the BEST UA-cam channel
I agree. 🎉
My favorite songs by M.W. are , The One Who Really Loves You, Two Lovers, You Beat Me To The Punch, and What’s Easy For Two Is So Hard For One
Mary Wells was a FANTASTIC singer, LOVED her voIce, and M.W. gave us NEVER ENDING “BEAUTIFUL TIMELESS MUSIC.”!!!!!!💿💿💿🎤🎤🎤
This is a sad story I heard aboumary wells it was on unsung.

I grew up with Mary Wells music....should have stayed with Motown.
How about doing a profile on Little Anthony and the Imperials!

🎯The Queen of Motown 🤎should've stayed put @ Motown but those terrible husband's and hangers on derailed her!😢

"Of Course It's "MY GUY", What You Say"...😂❤😇🎉
One of my very favorite singers ❤ her singing, such a rich voice! The One Who Really Loves You.

Payola🎯
Just like Florence Ballard
What Two Can Easily Do was my favorite.
Thanks
Met Mary Wells at a concert in Atlantic Cify in 1989 with Leslie Gore and Freda Payne. Beautiful ladies great. Concert. Miss her so much
11:28
I honestly believed Wells was blackballed by Gordy after she dared question him about royalty earnings and other monies owed to her.
I love the Mary wells video dawg her story was most definitely interesting can you add this to the list Billy Paul he did the song me and Mrs Jones and Carl Douglas he did the song Kung fu fighting I'm always watching and enjoying the content dawg 🔥👌
WBPTV. Congratulations on 41K. 🎉🥳
She Helped MOTOWN, BECOME MOTOWN!!!!!!!!!!!

Loved all her songs the Queen of Motown
My favorite song is MY GUY
Good video , I like The My Guy 😀 song.
Please review The Temprees ❤❤❤
Wells should be known more than the supremes. My guy is a classic tune.
Mary Wells was one my favorite Vocalist of all time. The A.I. was horrible.
The Womacks Brothers all them was bums. Barry Gordy was the Don King of Music.
