The Last Dance!
thank you Mary Wilson for carrying on Donna Summer's legacy and not just by doing the sillier BAD GIRLS or HOT STUFF tunes.
No, not good. Better than that ditch-concert attempt last summer but completely beyond her abilities.
Set aside the fact that this is a song I hate no matter who is singing it [[I faithfully skip it on Touch Me In the Morning...I can't recall the last time I let the song play through), I watched this vid waiting for the moment when Mary completely messes it up...moment never came. She doesn't do anything wildly innovative with it, but she basically gives it the same treatment everyone else I've heard give it. Song choice aside, I don't hear anything wrong with Mary's rendition.
They both have nice interpretations of Imagine.
Mary does a great job on both songs and the crowds reception shows it! Thanks Marv!
For me "Imagine" is a song that really suits Marys voice. She performs the song with sensitivity and warmth. . For a woman of 75 her voice sounds rich and full.
"Last Dance" is not one of my faves no matter who is singing it.
Seemed like some of her talk singing with lots of back up
It’s no My Man but it’s okay
I love how the audience sings that high note , " you ooo. ooo ...." LOL!
I think Imagine suits Mary's voice very well and is perfect for her. Mary always says we need more love in our World to heal our World and a song about bringing people together fits well with that message. I enjoyed watching her sing it here.
Speaking of Mary’s friends, there was an article on Tom Jones yesterday saying at one stage he had sex with 250 groupies a year plus the affairs
I got a confession to make: I never liked the Supremes' Beatles covers...
Yes Mary and George were good friends. George sold Mary a Mercedes stretch limo that was originally owned by John Lennon. The car itself became a big news story when the garage in England where Mary had it stored sold it without her permission!
I loved the song "It Don't Come Easy". I didn't know George Harrison wrote it. We should all have friends like him.
Hmmm She is in front of a stretch Mercedes here. But in all the stories that I read, mostly gossip, I always read that it was that it was a Rolls Royce
Well, that is an old interview, and Mary has gotten out her financial mess by promoting the Supremes' legacy and performing with the Supremes' name in her billing. At this point, she must be financially okay, although in some interviews she has admitted that she has to work, but still enjoys it.
I doubt that she has to work, but does enjoy a certain standard of living and works to maintain that standard.

That interview was from the 80’s and Ms. Turner is a bit of a drama queen.
Tony is a liar who can't be trusted. I don't believe his Mary broke story. The fact that so much of his first book is exaggerated stories that already appeared in other books, only he adds himself as one of the cast, is enough to side eye him [[although the book is a must read for entertainment purposes only). But when he did an interview talking about how Flo was a drug addict, that sealed the deal for me. Supposedly devoted to "Miss Flo" but would tell that kind of lie for sensationalism on her, especially when a certain segment of fandom already looks for ways to tarnish her memory and character...unacceptable. I'm surprised Tony Tall Tales isn't a member of this forum...or is he?
For whatever reason, your post prompted me to go check the trash heap of a website that tried to take down this forum a few years ago. Now its all Russian propaganda and anti-gay bots spewing crap.
It is interesting to see where IP addresses take you.
Surf safely, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh he was Ran...under the guise of Top Diva. He denied being Tony Turner, but,
constantly 'promoted' himself/Turner. Such whoppers he told would leave you speechless. He said Tony was married to some European Baron and living in a castle
in Spain or some such bullshit. He was very confrontational, nasty and toxic. Let's just
say...pathological. I was thrilled when Ralph sent him off to his Spanish pastures.
Ms. Tony Turner...
GURL! The one who claimed Eddie Kendricks and Marvin Gaye was gay?
The one who said Mary joined Martha, Eddie and David on the tour and then after getting paid, Martha decided to bounce and David wanted to beat her up? [[Said Martha was dead broke at the time)?
The one who said Sammy Davis Jr. entered Mary's hotel room or dressing room [[forget which) while Mary was topless and sniffed cocaine with Mary?
The one who claimed to know ALL of Florence Ballard's business when he was hired by her at 12 [[allegedly)?
THAT Tony Turner?
I remember Miss Thang posting on SDF too. I'm glad Ralph did a Martin Lawrence on his ass and told him to "get to stepping". LOL

Top Diva [[Ms. Turner) claimed that Tony Turner gave a lecture at a University
[[can't recall which one) and several thousand students attended. The lecture
was on his book "All That Glittered" [[which was OLD by then). A fair share of
these students would probably be clueless to who The Supremes were, let alone
Countess Turner. A couple folks on this forum actually contacted the university
to verify if he was ever there. Ya'll know the answer to that one! This is just one
of the fantastic lies that spewed forth from that mess.
