Dream girl Mary Wilson

Jan 13 at 23:07 | Nataliya Horban

Mary Wilson was a founder and singer of the legendary girl band the Supremes.

Topping the American charts with soul and blues songs through the 1960s, the band was breathing down The Beatles’ necks.

The Supremes fell apart in the ’70s, but Wilson carried on singing their songs. An award-winning movie “Dreamgirls,” featuring singer Beyonce, was based on the Supermes’ success story.

Today Wilson takes active part in charity and community work, addressing various humanitarian problems. She is also a writer and a motivational speaker, giving “Dare to dream” speeches around the world.

Wilson will bring to Kyiv her collection of costumes “The Story of the Supremes from the Mary Wilson Collection.” It will be open for viewing in Ukrainian House from Feb. 4 to Feb. 14 free of charge.

Friday, Feb. 4, 7 p.m., National Music Academy, 11 Khreshchatyk St., metro Maidan Nezalezhnosti, 279-1242. Tickets: Hr 100-800
