Aside from a few young guys, most of whom are "eyerollers in development" and on this site, no one knows Mary Wells, any of the Supremes except Diana, any Contour, Temptation, Pip, AllStar or Four Top ~ they are basically forgotten outside of a Forum like this.
Search those people on a site like CNN ~ I haven't done it but I bet you don't come up with much. Go stop a 16 year old on the street and ask them if they know who Mary Wells or Mary Wilson is; they'll look at you like your nuts. Heck, 30 years ago they were mixing up those two.
