12/10/2018:Attachment 14905 SUPREME GLAMOUR, Mary Wilson's long-awaited coffee-table book about The Supremes' gowns [[co-authored by Mark Bego) is available for pre-order on Amazon. There is a bit of a wait [[approximately 9 months) for the official release, but you can pre-order at this link!
Amazon Pre-order: https://www.amazon.com/Supreme-Glamo...upreme+glamour
interested to see what all she's done with the topic. sounds like the gowns are just a [[large) part of it and the book will be focusing on a slightly broader topic of the sup's overall style and impact. in the gown tour she tries to tie in the Sup's image and career with the broader civil rights movement. i think that's a smart idea. from a music perspective, the girls have often [[and wrongly) been somewhat dismissed because they didn't write and/or produce their own material. But the fact that they were some of the first positive images of black women in mainstream media, is wrongly overlooked. hope this book will help with that
Great news. Never seen this pic. Have others?
Brad, where are you? hehehehehehehe! Great news! Go Mary!
Hey, hey, hey... someone hasn't looked at the back page of their Supremes Sing HDH expanded edition booklet!Quote:

Six months is a long time.
About time she made a book like this. More attention on the Supremes' role not only in music but in the civil rights movement in their own way, breaking down doors and barriers that have been closed off for black entertainers and contemporary performers.
You can save $5.00 now if you order from amazon.com by using promo GIFTBOOK18
but this only last till midnight Dec 21st. if you're willing to wait 9 months.
I agree. And good for Mary. She certainly does her part to make sure the Supremes legacy isn't easily forgotten. I love her for it. Unfortunately I'll have to wait an even longer time to get it, when I can find it secondhand as I refuse to give her co-author a penny of my money. Same reason why I didn't buy Mary's cookbook, although I need to make a note to pick it up second hand. But I love to see the Supremes still out there hustling like the Primettes.;) I wonder what other future business ventures Mary has up her sleeve? [[Hopefully without Bego's cooperation.)Quote:

I tried to find Mary's cookbook on Amazon but no listing. Do you know when it was published? Thanks.
His book on Aretha looks quite good.

Isn't he and Mary close friends? Saw a pic of them together at the Kentucky Derby and a number of other affairs.
