That was a nice review of her Supremes act. The reviewer said that he was curious to hear how the Supremes’ songs would sound without Diana Ross handling the lead vocals. He said that Mary and her musicians pulled it off.

I've seen her act a few times but don't recall her singing You Are So Beautiful. Is that a new addition or is my senility setting in?

You said nice photo. It is, but it is also odd that they included a picture of Mary with Kelly and Cindy from Motown 45. Odd choice. Why not show Mary with her current group or else a picture of vintage Supremes.

Mary has performed "You Are So Beautiful" for many years beginning in 1994. Go here to 16:40 in this video to hear her sing it for us in Brooklyn!

She sure does! Has she ever sang Symphony? I think I remember her saying its a tough song to sing.

Yes she does sing "I Hear A Symphony" in her symphony concerts. I'll be right back. LOL

You are most welcome. I think Mary sounds fine singing any and all of the Supremes songs when she can take her time, have a band that knows the music and she is able to pace herself while performing.

Yes. I think you are right!
