A lovely mary Wilson arrive at the 2014 Kentucky Derby.

Yes I do know what I am talking about. If you say one person Eddie Murphy calls Mary the queen of Motown. How nice for Mary. The rest of the world usually refers Diana Ross as the Queen of Motown so it looks like Eddie Murphy doesn't know what he is talking about! lol
I give Mary her due. She may be the last original Supreme but by all means she is not the Queen of Motown.

You are now changing the parameters and for the record he calls her "The Queen Mother of Motown"! It's the name he came up with.

[honest man]

[I reckon QUEEN OF MOTOWN BACKGROUND SINGERS is more fitting,just saying[love you Mare].

[Jimi LaLumia]

Eddie Murphy is just so in touch with the public pulse these days!....LMFAO!!!

[milven]

Eddie always calls her, Mary Wilson, Queen Mother of Motown! LOL! He's right........

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?

[captainjames]

Too funny
Everyone knows Diana is the Queen of Motown !!

No they don't.

[milven]

No they don't.

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. ...

[captainjames]

MILVEN,
I agree with you 100% +
Everyone may not know Diana is and was the Queen of Motown but, one thing for sure Mary Wilson is and was not ever the Queen of Motown in this lifetime.
I have heard reference to Mary Wells and even Martha Reeves but NEVER Mary Wilson.

By that standard, Miss Ross would be beyond "already is" to "already Queen Of Motown" I was referring to his content, not sales. Fun With Dick And Jane sold even more than Mark Bego - after you stop giggling at the title, eat YOUR heart out! LOL!!! hehehehehehehe

Wannabe? I think not. He has over 10 million books in print! I think he is an "already is"! LOL! Eat cha heart out Supremester.

[supremester]

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....)

[Lulu]

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???

[bradsupremes]

Didn't you all know Martha Reeves is referred to as Dr. Queen Mother First Lady Martha Reeves of Motown?

[captainjames]

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.

[Roberta75]

Didn't you all know Martha Reeves is referred to as Dr. Queen Mother First Lady Martha Reeves of Motown?

No bradsupremes Miss reeves is refered to by me as Dr Martha Reeves the First Lady of Motown Records because Miss Martha is a doctor and imo Dr Reeves is the First Lady of Motown Records.

Sincerly,

Roberta

That is a nice very, very old ass picture of Diane. Yep! Same big head with no body. I think it was taken back when I was in high school! LOL!!!

[smark21]

Irene Ryan was the queen of Motown.

[marv2]

Irene Ryan was the queen of Motown.

I think you may be right.

[captainjames]

I asked Mary Wilson this question back in 2010 !!!! Somebody please ask her again.

[milven]

Irene Ryan was the queen of Motown.

I think you may be right.

OMG !! Irene was born in 1902. If she is the Queen of Motown and Mary is the Queen Mother of Motown................

Ouch !

Be nice to Mary and concede that she is not the Queen Mother of Motown

Eddie always calls her, Mary Wilson, Queen Mother of Motown! LOL! He's right........
