Mary Wilson on Twin Cities Live - Interview [KSTP-TV - 1986] 

I am devastated :( @detroitlives is there any where i could contact you personally via an email or telephone number?

She is gloriously talented. Check out some of the hundreds of videos featuring Mary here on RU-vid.

Yes she IS & STILL is gloriously youthful & very beautiful now at 75.

True

Da PrettyGirl All da Boyz crush Mary Going to sleep at night Thinkin.......

Mary and Florence were the pretty ones. Diana was just cute. Nothing more. Just love Mary's personality. No diva there!

Nah that cold ass condolence Diana gave and then deleted all things supreme from her IG she did not care

Hey Norwin! Hey remember the Phil Donahue Show interview?

That was funny the way she told it all full of drama and everything. LOL!!!

Yes, I do!

Wow!! Great call

Your right, she lies all the time.

@@cravendubose3024 well if she lies so much then why hasn't the witch taken her to court to sue her for slander and defamation?😁 I think we all know why

@@punkanellylovejoy702 Diana don't believe in wasting time.

@@cravendubose3024 oh so that's the reason. Well thank you most sincerely for solving that little mystery. 😂

Very good interview I noticed the difference between him and Phil Donahue, he let her talk didn’t cut her off constantly

If you're referring to miss Ross you'd better be a white man and in possession of a fairly strong stomach for a startling revelation when the make up gets scraped off at night. Prepare yourself for the unveiling. Cause at the stroke of midnight, your fairy tale bliss becomes the nightmare on Elm street when your precious Princess Diana turns into a wildebeest-looking, bug eyed ufo. Or the creature from the black lagoon. Didn't you hear all about her husband's death? Apparently he jumped off a mountaintop to escape the nightmares. It seems that after over a decade of married bliss, one night at bedtime, Ms Ross decided to finally come clean and present to him the ugly truth of the thing that lurked in plain sight. Be careful what you wish for. You might get eaten alive, but not in the way you had planned it with all the candles and wine and roses and such. You'll quickly drop the champagne bottle to the floor and do a mad sprint throughout the house in search of some fresh garlic, mirrors, spotlights and a wooden stake

@@punkanellylovejoy702 What a hateful comment.

@@skip031890 well duh, what a coincidence: as it wasn't MEANT to be over complimentary and gushing with praises for her.

and how about florence? at 18:18, if you don't call that beautiful my friend, you might need glasses

Cleopatra Dawn they are not a group anymore, I believe that's what he meant

Thank you!

@@bj77755 because she knows without Diana there were no more supremes,that was the fall.

@@cravendubose3024 without Diana, there was no one left to fluck the boss to get the top pick of hit material anymore. See how it works now?

@@punkanellylovejoy702 yep, without Diana, their were no more #1s.

Ross is still alive and kickin', raised five wonderful children. Mary killed her son (car accident). Flo's drunk , fat, loud dumb ass left her children in poverty

Do you think she was murdered? Some feel she was.

She wasn't murdered, she was mixing Hypertension medication with alcohol then she had heart complications and died. Read Mary's book "My life as a Supreme"

Yup!

LOL! Well ok then........LOL!!!

Fkin the boss also helped

Let me finish your sentence after study hard and f_ _ k hard!! I mean let's be honest and she isn't the first woman to...in order to get what they want.

And Flo is Cancer.

vrj40 Motown was sold for overt $250 million yet the artists didn't get a single penny from that sale not a cent!

Insane isn't it. Gordy got it all didn't he?

Well Diana is worth $200 million now

Motown was sold for $61 million in 1988 and then for $330 million in 1991.

@@BroccoliBeefed and we all know where that 200 million dollars is headed don't we? It sure as hell won't end up in the hands of anything that resembles a black family in the next generation will it.

So true. You take the good with the bad sometimes.

No matter who she stepped over, kicked in the gut or double-crossed!!! That's an ugly determination I don't want ANY parts of, Karma never sleeps & has EVERY1's number!!!

Bottom line= If Diana didn't set her eyes on Berry there may not have been a Supremes to begin with.

You said it perfect. Mary was a tad bitter and rightfully so. She had been stepped on. Diana was not painted in the best light and it was Mary’s intention to do just that. And rightfully so it was her experience. You can love someone and not like them. That was Mary. Diana loves no one but herself.

@@bluezodiac6329 Yes that's true. Even with the original trio, the Andantes were brought in to fatten up the sound. In fact, the I. Hear A Symphony lp released in early 1966 has the Andantes very prominently featued, especially the show tunes on side one, recorded by a solo Diana in LA, not Detroit.

Mary does tell a good story

@@abdurobinson6827 it was a GREAT story

My life as a member of Beyonce and Destiny's Child.

That's why I was thinking

@eric echols This Mary WILSON!

I came here just to comment how much early Whitney looks like her here

@@Seriousthing13 ikr

Definitely a very similar look to young Whitney.

Kelly looks like Mary (her musical mother) lol

Thank you, but Kelly looks like Mary.

@@s.rhockenhull1168 she does

She reminds me of Whitney Houston!

@@s.rhockenhull1168 ikr

She knows Diana goes by the Name that is on her Birth Certificate which is Diana, but she keeps calling her Diane.

@@naturalkinkycurlymarie7496 Right, she was calling her that deliberately. She said on another interview that she couldn't call her Diana because it would feel weird. I'm sorry, but that's very rude and disrespectful. She was definitely calling her that out of malice and made sure everybody knew what her old name was.

Mary is throwing a lot of shade. I don’t feel growth is a bad thing. A lot of artists go on to solo careers.

What's the big deal she just put a on the end

Jealous

Oh Please. No one cares about the 1970's Surpremes. They were dreadful

@@erossinema8797 Whatever. Stoned Love remains one of their best songs.

@@jambon6451 I agree that stone love was an excellent hit song 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿 they had THAT hit and Diana was panicking because she didn't have a solo yet 😭 I loved the dynamic because Mary got to sing lead more and the music was good. But The original lineups with Florence and later Cindy are just so much more magical and memorable. After Diane left, they did great but the magic was gone. I think they were missing Diane's "grandness"in the image and performances

@@erossinema8797 actually you're wrong some people do and you're just being disrespectful .

I think Stevie Wonder can see shadows

@Spanky Applegate oh yes there's something very cheap about this sell out pop tart when you use it for more than just a hat rack and reach the obvious conclusion of where all that money is headed: after crossing over racial barriers with the Supremes during the racially embroiled 60s, Dirty Dumb Diana has decided to cross back over and hand the bulk of her fortune over to a future all white family (cont'd)

@Spanky Applegate cause with the exception of Rhonda, her kids only date and marry whites So in the next generation or so, Ms Ross will have fulfilled her "legacy". I'm sure she's a treasure to some blacks such as yourself....but she's soon to be a treasure CHEST to whites. So glad you brought that up about Diana's Black wealth...correctly called: Diana's white wealth.

I stand to be corrected as I was absolutely wrong. I mean who am I to make note of the irony in crossing over color barriers with the Supremes in the turbulently racially divided 60s, that Ross and her kids apparently are so blinded by whiteness that they can't see the beauty of the blackness surrounding them. I mean I really had no right to assume that only azz-kizzing fans would have the ignorance to categorize Ms Ross as a role model to blacks, when it's more than obvious that the bulk of that fortune will soon be inherited into the hands of an ALL WHITE FAMILY. You're absolutely right, people have the right to marry whomever they want. I have absolutely zero basis for accusing these black rich and famous people of being cursed or brainwashed with this one particular part of our inherited slave mentality that afflicts many black people to this very day. No I shouldn't have said those horrible things about Ms Ross. And besides, I should just get a life and not be so concerned about all the wonderful "generational" wealth that some lucky all-white family will be soon enjoying, while they drive around in their Rolly poly Royces and other vehicles without EVER having a single thought of being pulled over by a racist cop (since they'll be white themselves). I really am silly to try and make issue of the fact that a non-black family will be enjoying Ross's black wealth, without ever having a single personal experience of what it can very often be like to live as a black person in a white dominated world. And besides, whats wrong with that anyway? Ms Ross and her kids should feel free to marry any white person on this entire planet if they want too. That's absolutely none of my business. They want to feel superior too. What's wrong with that. And how ABSOLUTELY STUPID for me to actually think that a lot of black men only date or only marry whites because they see white women as a status symbol: as something "better" than a black woman. It's just foolishness on my part. But I'm so glad you kinda brought me back to reality. I should just shut up and let Uncle Toms be Uncle Toms (and I need to stop calling them that, because they're not). Just let them live their lives peacefully BEING Uncle Toms (oops there I go again) and without the headache of having to be labelled as such. So it's really just time for me to just get a life and stop being so ridiculous (and probably jealous on the cool) in saying such untrue things about this WONDERFUL and FABULOUSLY wealthy "Black" American family. I'm ashamed of myself, I really am. I suddenly feel like a disgrace to the black race as well as to myself. Ms Diana Ross. She's truly a treasure....in more ways than one.

@Spanky Applegate what does ANYTHING have to do with how much she's worth? That's my question to you, as you're the one who brought it up to use as some kind of defense for her. Then you deleted the comment 😁

@Spanky Applegate Goodbye Spanky. I think we're all done here. You'll never ever be able to debate against the truth. You can't win. It's usually gonna be a losing argument. Good try though Spanky. A for effort though

I love, love , LOVE Mary Wilson!

Wouldn't give the mic back. LMAO. Good on you Mary

No. Minneapolis

thank you

No. Mary was definitely the beauty of the group, although Diana had a lot of charisma. Flo was considered to have the best figure and sense of humor. Diana grew into her beauty through the years but in the beginning she definitely wasn’t considered beautiful.

Mary was truly the beauty of the group. Florence was pretty, curvaceous and very comical. Diana had plenty of showmanship but was not very attractive in the early days.

Bruce Kyle Farrah was never a real member of DC. Just was a stand in.

But they didn't sleep with any record label owner to do it

They didn't back stab people to go solo

Michael and Beyonce and all those other people you mentioned went solo but Diane Ernestine Ross went so-low

Would a man be ok with his wife calling another man beautiful in front of him?

That's the main issue Dianna was the lead and Mary had an issue with it. Management made the decision be mad at Barry, not Dianna Ross.

The main point of this whole thing is Mary SHOULDN'T have anything bad to say about Diane. But Ross was a dirty jealous rotten piece of work. So unfortunately, Mary most definitely has bad things to say about Dirty Diane. What nice things would you possibly have to say about someone who's done you so dirty?

Not all that easy to get over that level of backstabbing. Let's see you try it.

The story was told as it is. You extracted the blame from your head.

Diana had to work harder because she was given all the leads. And very often she had to be constantly coached in the studio on how to sing the songs; songs that were already tailored to fit around her limited vocal ability.

Sometimes you got to take a moment to gather yourself or you'll collapse. A good leader allows its team to rejuvenate so they can be best at their work. Especially after a lot of turmoil. She sad she had been speaking weeks training Cindy etc.
