Oh yes I remember this interview. I was in Detroit when I saw it. Thank you Luke!
I saw it too. This interview is still on Travis smileys' pbs website
My pleasure Marv. One of her best. Travis has an ability to make people feel comfortable and you could tell he thoroughly enjoyed Mary. They covered a lot...Diana, Jean, her charity work, jazz, upset over internet negativity etc. Great interview!
This interview reminded me of the one Mary did with Donnie Simpson on Video Soul - BET in the late 80s. They got along so well that they were laughing through most of the interview.
Thanks to both Luke & Marv2 for sharing the Mary Wilson clip. Even though it's from a few years ago, it still feels like it was done yesterday.
It is amazing how ordinary, absolutely ordinary, Mary Wilson is both as a person and entertainer. There is nothing that draws me to her.
If I watch her interviews, it is only to learn something new about Diana Ross. But, Wilson tells the same stories, in the most ordinary way, over and over and over again.

Exactly. Mary charms everyone with her down to earth charm. She never acts superior...one reason she is so popular!
I love Mary Wilson's interviews and evidently there are others out there that do as well.
Watching Mary in this interview I have a newfound respect for her. I am glad that she continues doing what she loves the most - - - performing on stage. She is very aware of what she can do as a vocalist as she acknowledges that she excels at ballads and jazz. She knows her strengths. Bless her.
