Im definitely tuning into this.

Thanks Milven. Glad to see that they made arrangements for a video stream.

Great to hear and and so very well deserved. A year after the sad news of her death, Mary’s legacy and achievements continue to be acknowledged and celebrated. The contribution she made to the world, not only as a much loved Supreme, but as a wonderfully caring human being cannot be underestimated.
Looking forward to March 4th, when fans in the UK fans should at last receive their copy of the Motown Anthology.

I will be tuning in. It's so great to see how much Mary was loved. And the thing is, judging by the amount of tributes she received last year when she passed, most of the thoughtful words were about Mary as a woman. Sure, there were acknowledgments of her as Queen Supreme and her contributions to the group and the ambassadorship of their legacy, as well as her vocal talent. But the abundance was about her as a human being and the amount of lives she touched by just being Mary. So often she got maligned because she had no solo hits, didn't sell a million albums, or sellout arenas, but it's hard for me to imagine that Mary would have taken those career highlights [[in a career that already had highlights most singers never get) over what did become her enduring legacy.

She deserves this upcoming honor and I'm so grateful that we fans will be able to experience it.

Ya the last thing Mary wanted was hit records and sold out shows.

Mary Wilson said countless times in interviews that she worked very hard to be a successful human being. I am glad that was acknowledged. It is obviously very true. Her talents as an entertainer and vocalist are now on her Anthology. She is truly loved for the person and entertainer that she was.
