She has given this same interview a thousand times. Guess there is not much else for her to say.

‘Even though we had some great singers, I had in with me Jean Terrell, who did all of the ’70s hits, and Cindy Birdsong, they were great singers, but the original three, we were The Group,’ you can hear the capitals, ‘like The Beatles, you know? Anyone who comes in later, it’s wonderful, but it’s just not the same feeling we had as those young girls when we were starting out.’

Sounds like Mary is at some resolve with the way her career continued post THE SUPREMES [[with capitals) .


I think her perspective is right , how can anything top the fairy-tale story of teenage friends from the projects, through sheer will and determination, winding up as the biggest, best known female singing group in America .

She mentions that complete album. I assume that is the HDH album. I so hope it gets issued. Surely some of you guys here have heard it all by now.

No I have heard several songs that are said to be intended for the album.

At this point does it count as 'fake news' :D ?

Great that Mary has recorded and has tried to get these songs out! Let's support her efforts rather than making fun of them.

Exactly. They are not even going to support it if it were out now. I am happy that Mary has recorded since and plans to do more recording.

[marv2]

Not many singers that started in the late 50s can still do this!

Isn't that incredible?! She has exceeded ALL expectations!

[detmotownguy]

DET thank you. How are you doing? Doing good thanks! Enjoying the Detroit summer. I was thinking the other day how Geat my neighborhood was growing up. Sneaking on the bus to Hitsville to see what was going on. Wish I could turn back the time for just one day!

I am afraid that if we could do that for just one day.....we are going to want more, much more. LOL! Good that you are doing fine. People unfamiliar with Detroit just will not understand how great a place it was and is starting to be again. I love Windsor too.
