Mary Wilson...You Danced My Heart...

[mike_sku]

I just read, in a post by Mary, that her song "You Danced My Heart Around the Stars" is up for a Grammy. Is this really true? The song is great and her rendition is wonderful, but how is this so?

It was released on CD about a year ago

It is an excellent song and performance that should have been released a long time ago.

I did look it up on Amazon.com, but apparently it is no longer available. This surprises me, since the CD has only been out for a year. Maybe I have to dig a little further...

Thanks for this information as I didn't know this track had "officially" escaped from the Motown vault.

The recording might have been sent out for consideration on the early October ballot. But the official nominations won't be announced until December 6th.

I would love to see Mary win a Grammy. I would love to have this and other songs by Mary rereleased.

Mary is an excellent singer,and while i understand why berry featured diana,it wouldn't have hurt to have let mary and flo sing lead on a single once and awhile.

I totally agree. It was the sixties and everyone seemed to be going for a novelty sound. Remember Millie Smalls, etc?
