From October 1986:
Most incisive interview with Mary ever about the Supremes Years. She certainly had grown in confidence, to Phil... it’s your show but my book! Great performance ...love her slow I will survive... never knew she sang that ! Many thanks Marv!
Thanks Marv! I have never seen this interview. Nice to see the evolution of her persona. Mary did a great job on the performances.
Phil was def trying to bait her into territory she was not going into. Damn she had to ask Berry permission to buy a car. Hell didn’t Diana have to return something she thought owned when she left Motown? Talk about control.
I was truly glad to see this donahue show from 1986 as I was wondering why it was not on You Tube for so many years. I think this was the best interview that she did during the promotion of her book Dreamgirl. I loved seeing it again.
Mary is in top form here and I think handles everything being thrown at her beautifully. There are some untruths, and Flo’s girls will HATE this clip because, unlike her declaration, she never gave them a dime of book money. Mary is by far the best interview of any Motown star.
