Mary Wilson - Don't Get Mad Get Even

[gman]

The line, "Don't get mad, get even," was very popular around this time. It was even parodied by Ivana Trump in First Wives Club when she said, "Don't get mad, get everything!"

I found a copy of the 12" single at a record store on Bleeker Street in NYC. When I saw Mary at Fat Tuesday's in NYC she was surprised that I had a copy and signed it for me.

I went to Fat Tuesday's 2 nights..stayed for 2 shows 2nd night...first night, front table right in front of Mary...Gawd, that performance pace was so narrow it was more like a aisle than a stage...the musicians were situated "in line"....great shows, though. Mary wore this loose curl reddish afro wig...she didn't Don't Get Mad...but she killed us with RED HOT both nights....that was always one of my fav live songs.
