[I reckon QUEEN OF MOTOWN BACKGROUND SINGERS is more fitting,just saying[love you Mare].
Eddie Murphy is just so in touch with the public pulse these days!....LMFAO!!!
Queen Elizabeth's mother was always referred to as Queen Mother Elizabeth until she died in 2002 at the age of 102.
Almost all Google searches refer to Diana Ross as the Queen of Motown for the last fifty years. So if Mary is truly the Queen Mother of Motown, does that make her the mother of Diana?
Can't they just Google it. I always heard Mary Wells referred to as First Lady of Motown, but she was also referred to as Queen of Motown. But for the last fifty years, Diana has been referred to as Queen of Motown. I've heard of no one else referred to as Queen of Motown - a symbolic term since Motown has no actual Queen. But Eddie Murphy's referring to Mary as Queen Mother of Motown may have been meant as a compliment, but when you look at the definition of Queen Mother, is it ?
A Queen mother is a dowager queen who is the mother of the reigning monarch. ...
I'm loving this. Eddie Murphy is now the litmus test for Queendom? I must email him on another matter. But, I digress. Now we're quoting Eddie Murphy? LOL. If it was that snotty little bitch that did the Rusketts commercial in the 60's said it, Marv would be touting her credentials.
Bless you, Marv and my offer for a drink, coffee, light snack or full meal in NYC remains open and hopefully on you're "to do list." Are you going to Queen Ree at Radio City? I might need a date.........[[I won't try anything....)
Eddie Murphy could stand to make a hit movie and stop weaseling his way over here to our precious boards! Get to work, Eddie...you ain't done nothing good since Dreamgirls! Norbit, anyone???
Didn't you all know Martha Reeves is referred to as Dr. Queen Mother First Lady Martha Reeves of Motown?
Gee I do know but ask anyone who was employed by Motown who they thought the Queen of Motown is and was. I am sure Mary would even say Diana.
Irene Ryan was the queen of Motown.
I asked Mary Wilson this question back in 2010 !!!! Somebody please ask her again.
