LOL...you got that right!! Its amazing how her notoriety just continues to grow.
Or the white house!
UN ambassador? Or maybe ambassador to Vatican!!
I hope Martha Reeves could also be appointed to the Vatican. She and Mary are devoutly pious women.
Well she has had plenty of experience.................

Loathed as I am to piss on this prissy Papal party, I would hardly associate Miss Wilson with notoriety. Miss Wilson may be many things but she is far from disreputable or is she that renowned.
I am surprised that Marv, the self appointed erudite on all things Wilson didn't pick up on this. Perhaps he was too wrapped up in sentiment and enthusiasm over Mary Wilson's future Ambassadorship to the Vatican City by the 2017 Rodham-Clinton administration to notice.

Didn't Colin Powell appoint Mary as a cultural ambassador?
Now that is saying something!
Oh yes she is. Amen. And didn't Bill Clinton personally ask for her to perform at white house?
Wow..didn't know the details..that's quite an invitation. .watch out if Hillary wins. Mary may be front and center!
I could swear I saw a clip from it with her singing.
NO he did not. As you may recall [[since this very topic was discussed in Stirfry with you years ago with video proof and news report - look up thread in archive) Mary was brought in at the last minute as a substitute for the evening's scheduled announced headliner who fell ill. Mary was selected from a list of available entertainers with no gig on Millennium New Year's Eve. It was not a 2 hour set and the comments on her performance at the time were mixed and may still be on Youtube. It's still an honor that I haven't had, but let's keep one foot in re-al-i-tee you "two."
Perhaps you are getting confused with President Elect Bill Clinton's personal request to have Miss Ross sing God Bless America at his inauguration. THAT happened.

I love this clip. It's why singers often lip in these wide open spaces. She cannot hear and the horn section is killing her note - with one wave of her hand, they are turned into a pillar of salt and she can finally hear herself. You can see the relief on her face. [[And the awe in Clinton's)

Mary Wilson was hand picked by the Clintons with Linda Green formalizing the arrangements. I wished you knew what you were talking about. That way I would not have to waste my time repeating myself.............
Here's a shot from the event! Mary and company raising the roof at the White House!

Marv - remember when you said Mary got her Hollywood palace solo because the asst. director demanded it to berry Gordy? Well, this is kind of like that. While it MAY BE POSSIBLE that "The Clintons" "hand picked" Mary - it was never ever said that was the case. What WAS in the news is that Mary stepped in at the last minute. We wouldn't want Barbra Streisand, if she's reading this, to think that Bill 'n Hill chose Mary over Babs - it would hurt her feelings. Mary sang at The White House for The Clintons - an honor for all parties involved..... let's leave the facts in the factual column. That's a very good look for Mary & the Girls.
