    The last performer, Abraham McDonald was also very good. Could we be witnessing a new star on the horizon?

    This has been another big year for Mary Wilson. Singing and performing all over the globe. She has a lot of energy even in her 70s.

    I was just thinking the same! From being center stage honoring Stevie to UK with Roberta and Dionne to having a chart record etc etc etc...her star keeps growing brighter[[not to mention her humanitarian efforts). What a great role model she is for living life to the fullest and helping others along the way!

    I am hoping more clips from this weekend's Tribute to Smokey turn up. I want to hear Mary do "Floy Joy" and " Ooh Baby, Baby".

    Nice post Luke! Just to add to your comments, Mary always seems to have the support of friends in the business and her fellow Motowners. I didn't know until recently that Mary and Martha are pretty tight. Maybe they should write a book together!

    They've been buddies for something like 54 years. Did you hear the Sandra Bernhardt interview? She's from Flint. Mary and Aretha's sister Carolyn were in a singing group together before the Primettes.

    Thank you Jim and Marv for your ongoing support of Mary Wilson. Thanks to you, I was able to enjoy her rousing versions of "You Can't Hurry Love" and "I Am Changing." Like a fine vintage wine, Miss Wilson has mellowed marvellously and is an entertainer well worth seeking out. Name:  Screen Shot 2015-11-11 at 7.20.41 PM.jpg

    Yes the Sandra interview was nice. Can you provide any info on the Mary/Carolyn group? Very interesting! I really liked the Martha/Mary interview - and yes there were interesting comments by Martha. Water under the bridge I am sure. Martha is doing fine and has a full time job satisfying her fans in Europe. Two fantastic and successful ladies.
