I have at least an hour's worth of clips from that ceremony featuring Mary Wilson on VHS. There were news reports around the clock.

She certainly is a strikingly beautiful lady is our Mary. Thanks for posting.

It was so long ago, I'd forgotten about Mary being there. The photographs show much better why Mary was "the sexy one"!

Yes indeed.

I remember Mary writing that she felt kind of left out that night.

Yeah I remember her saying that too which is something I never understood. I do know that the press covered her appearance at the ceremony heavily. In one of the CNN clips they have Mary making her entrance down a flight of stairs. The flashes from all the cameras were so heavy that you could barely see her until they decided to shift the television cameras to her side. There were mics from all the major news outlets placed in front of her and she was glowing with pride.

Great. I think she didn't feel the love from a lot of the "rock and roll" types there tho I believe she signaled out George Harrison and Ben E King as supportive.

Again, I'd have to disagree with Mary in what I saw! She was hugged by everyone from Mick Jagger to Bruce Springsteen and Paul Schaffer was all ga ga over her. Heck, even Yoko Ono joined Mary on stage to sing back up for her on "Stop In the Name of Love"! LOL! Mike Love of the Beach Boys and Muhammad Ali tried to steal Mary's attention away from everyone!

I think Mary's memory of all the good things that night were clouded by her disappointment that Diane did not show up to accept the most significant honor in their careers.

Good point, and she busy trying to help Florences daughter!

Left out? I beg to differ lol

[marv2]

Left out? I beg to differ lol

Exactly~! LOL! Someone even went to trouble of transcribing the lyrics to "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" as sung by Mary Wilson, Mick Jagger and Bruce Springsteen together at the Induction ceremony:

All inductees typically get to sing on stage. Mary felt not included off stage apprently. It's all in her second book.

Luke, I am not in her mind [[although I am sometimes , hehehehehehe.....) so if she felt dissed or not included in any kind of way, just don't know how. She's been back for other Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies and they've treated her like royalty.

Mary does look great - they should have let her sing.

She did sing. She sang "Stop In the Name of Love" during the Supremes Induction.
