Let's face it; she left Motown for more $$$ and never had much of a career once she left. Yes, she had a few singles and a few albums; nothing compared to what would have happened if she stayed with Berry Gordy. At Motown, she was the Queen and they held her hand; elsewhere she was just a name on the roster.
On the flip side, it makes you wonder: it's been said that once Mary left Motown, Berry made an "example" of her, and never let another artist "screw" him over like she did. If Mary would have stayed, would other artists who later had struggles, such as Flo, lived a wealthier life? Would Flo still be alive?
