LOL
In all honesty if Mr. Gordy actually told Mary after after 25 + years she finally learned how to sing is not a compliment to me. What is even more ironic is for some fans to say they wish she had sung lead on the earlier hits after Mr. Gordy made that statement. Go Figure.
At any rate I loved Jean as a singer but not in a group. I think she would have done better and been happier as a soloist. Of course that's my opinion. So, if she thought she was fired and Motown [[Mr. Gordy) asked what happen to her goes to show how detached he was from the management of the group. Looking at the way things finally turned out the ladies would have done better to leave and regroup.
Finally, I will repeat what I have said in the past and that is Mary taking Berry up on his switch of Jean to Syreeta and negotiate a deal. She needed Gordy in their corner and when she said no, that was the final nail.
