It’s tough to be a Mary’s fan now
She virtually left out of everything and unknown
She seems popular in Detroit. She got a gig as host for a fairly new awards show

This is not a dig, and I hope it does not come across as one, but if she is being considered for just her solo career, her name seems out of place with the other nominees. The Supremes were already inducted. Mary seems to be a favorite of the organization and of Detroit. Good luck to her as a nominee. Always nice to see former Supremes do well. The group and all its members have brought me a lot of joy.
They'll probably induct her as a music rights activist.
Well she was a Supreme through the hit making years; this is very nice for her, whoever this Hall of Fame is.
Is it only being shown in Detroit? I can't imagine Mary would host anything that was to be shown on the big networks.
LMFAO. It’s 9 am, zero degrees, I’m awakened by the sound of freezing rain hitting my window and I’m in bed crying tears from laughter - thank you for giving me a great start to an otherwise freezing cold, dark morning!
the WTF look on Gordy's face IS priceless so I guess it is real..more a scowl than a smile..
Various Gordy’s are on Facebook and I see and hear no whining and complain from them about Berry Motown or Diana - I see her referred to warmly and as Auntie
Great picture!!
