You're most welcome DET! Mary Wilson seems to be everywhere these days. Once the book hits, she'll be all over television too I am sure.

I’ve seen April and Sept for the book’s release. ?

I think one date is for the U.K. release, the other is the U.S. release date. I'll ask her.

I just asked her. She said it is released in the UK on May 23d and in the USA on September 19th.

I didn't really ask her, but so what? ;)

These are release dates unless they change again

Are Whoopee and Mary friends? Whoopee wrote the the foreward

Thank you Milven! Yeah they're friends.

[luke]

Thanks people! Why UK so much sooner? Not fair! 😮. 75 never looked so good!

[milven]

Thank you Milven! Yeah they're friends.

I didn't know that. Then she will definitely be on THE VIEW during her book tour.

[marv2]

She is starting to scare me looking this damned good at her age, hehehehehehehe!

She is introduced in the clip as a Grammy Award Winner. I know that neither the Supremes, Mary Wilson, nor Diana Ross ever won a Grammy in competiton. The Supremes were nominated, but never won. Back then, the Grammies were still in the MOR mode with winners like Andy Williams and Henry Mancini.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Supremes were at least given some kind of special award?

[khansperac]

Don’t the Supremes have a couple of songs that were inducted into the Grammy Hall of fame? Or something like that?

[luke]

Yes . Stop in the name of Love was one I believe.

[milven]

Yes. I had forgotten about the Grammy Hall of Fame. Stop in the Name of Love is one of their songs in the Hall of Fame. I guess it is a technical point that I am making. Having a song inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame does not make you a Grammy Winner. But at least they were finally recognized by the Grammies more that a quarter century later.

The Grammy Hall of Fame is a hall of fame to honor musical recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance. Inductees are selected annually by a special member committee of eminent and knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts. It is compiled by The Recording Academy in the United States, and was established in 1973. Recordings [[singles and albums) in all genres are eligible for selection, and must be at least 25 years old to be considered. Additions to the list are chosen annually by a committee of recording arts professionals
