Marys voice is still in great shape, especially when compared to many of her peers of similar age. This particular jazz standard suits her voice very well. Asking her to sing Supremes songs with a smokey jazz voice such as hers is like throwing vintage wine into a bowl of punch. I think her voice is sometimes wasted on the lets have a good night out, sing-along type audience as opposed to real music lovers.

Mary Wilson sounds wonderful on Here's To Life and she still is helping humanity with her helping suicide prevention fundraiser.
It's an intrepid singer who'll perform a capella — especially on a number like "Here's to Life." Mary's to be applauded for that. There might be some imperfections in the vocal, certainly, but that's all part of it. Mary is a song stylist, rather than simply a singer.
This is when Mary's genius comes to life.
I would like for Mary to go into the studio and record a formal Jazz album with the best musicians available. Her live Jazz CD was extremely good.
