She was wonderful Marv. Much much better than last year. She performed with all the other great ladies of song on Saturday and then did a solo set last night. I met up with her and she was charm personified. Sorry to be so brief but I shall report more when I can.
Guy doing Diana Ross too much!
Someone should put a soul weekender on in NYC with Motown and Maxine Brown and other soul singers in area. A lot of people would go!!
I feel awful..I have just recognised 2 of my mates in the audience by the lack of hair on their head.
LOLOL
They all seem to having a great time and that's what it's all about

Great picture. She truly is Supreme!
Looks like a fun night,go Mary Wilson
Great video and photos what were the other artists like ? And did Mary perform her new songs ? Life's been good and time to move on
More of Ms. Mary Wilson at the Legends of Soul Weekender!
Mary sounded so much better in Branson although she is fine here of course. I wish we had gone to see her in Vegas. Both of her Vegas shows were totally sold out so maybe she will be back there sooner than a year like last time.
I'm going to see her in Macon in April.
Sorry, I have been off line for a few days having lost my phone. She did a solo set on Sunday which incorporated 60's and 70's stuff along with a few cover versions. On Saturday it was almost exclusively 60's songs as she shared the stage with the other ladies. It was an excellent show and Mary restored my faith in her by delivering a far better set than she did in Manchester back in October. More details when I get my phone back!
I would imagine she would lend herself well to performing with a full orchestra. Her voice is better suited to the old jazz, easy listening songs in my opinion. I would love to see such a show.
Whenever she performs over here the mainstream fans demand Supremes songs but I yearn to hear her stretch herself vocally . The nearest she came to that was "I am changing" which appears to be a mainstay in her set these days.
So what songs is she likely to perform with the Detroit Symphony?
I thought she was great in the above clip on Someday and last Dance she just keeps getting better!
Ok here goes the Symphony Set List from over the years:
I Hear A Symphony
Reflections
Fields of Gold
Body & Soul
Strange Fruit
My World Is Empty Without You
Ne Me Quitte Pas [[If You Go Away)
Spring Is Here
Walk the Line
Here's to Life
Love Child
God Bless America
Someday We'll Be Together
I Remember You
I Am Changing
I am sure I am leaving out a number or two, I will add them if I remember. thanks.
