Yes, it was the Hurricane Katrina fundraiser. Thank you for refreshing my memory, bradsupremes. That was the function I was thinking of.

And as far as the relationship with Berry and Mary; how many of us are "good friends" with our boss from 10 years ago, let alone 40 years ago? I've been working for 20 years and have had 100's of co-workers and over the course of time, 20 - 30 supervisors or bosses. I can only think of a handful of co-workers and 1 former boss that I keep in regular contact with. I think their relationship is what it is: based on respect and mutual admiration. Mary isn't 16 anymore and Berry no longer has the ability to "pull one over" on her. Yet they have formed a bond that will last forever.
The same with Martha Reeves. Berry isn't that much older than her, yet she always refers to him as "Mr. Gordy". So no matter what has happened, no matter the outcome of the lawsuits or what was written in years past, these women love this man and the feeling I'd bet is more than mutual.
That was probably just wishful thinking amongst the fans.
I remember in 2002 or 03, Susaye tried to interest the rest of the Supremes in a TV documentary but several said no to the idea and the project went nowhere. I remember Susaye discussing the proposal and its fate at her Yahoo group.
You are correct about this smark21. Bill and Hillary Clinton invited Diana to perform at a big Democratic fundraiser for the Gore campaign in Bel-Air in the summer of 2000. After Diana's show Mary Wilson, who was in the audience went up to Diana and they hugged and chatted for about one minute. I think fans unrealistically magnified this hence the one off DMC reunion rumor.
Mary Wilson looked spectacular that night! Gorgeous!
I remember hearing about possible Las Vegas New Year's eve performance.
