Mary Wilson, co-founder of
The Supremes, helped garner an unequaled record
of number 1 hits by a female group. Recording for Motown, Mary guided
The Supremes into rock 'n roll history, turning her group into one of the
three icons of the 1960's, alongside
Elvis Presley and
The Beatles. Mary
never stopped developing new projects and toured the world
entertaining her fans. She excelled in theatrical endeavors, such
as the year-long Canadian tour of "Beehive", a play centered on a
female musical group. Other theatrical experiences included her
off-Broadway debut in "Grandma Sylvia's Funeral" in New York City, and
"Mother Hubbard". Mary did a great deal of charity work, raising
millions for AIDS through the People with AIDS Coalition of Tucson
(PACT). She also raised funds for homeless people, cancer research
and victims of child abuse, and was a Cultural Ambassador for the United States. Mary performed continually with orchestras,
symphonies, and her own touring band. She wrote three books:
"Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme" (1986), "Supreme Faith: Someday
We'll be Together" (1990) and "Supreme Glamour" (2019). "Dreamgirl" remains the best-selling rock
and roll autobiography ever published. She released several albums and in 2021 Motown released a compilation of her work as a solo performer.
