Biography[]
Mary was an American vocalist best known as a founding member of the Supremes. Following the departures of other original members, Florence Ballard in 1967 and Diana Ross in 1970, Wilson remained with the group longer than any other members. After Wilson's own departure in 1977, the group disbanded. Wilson later released three solo albums, five singles, and two best-selling autobiographies, Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme, a record-setter for sales in its genre, and Supreme Faith: Someday We'll Be Together; both books later were released as an updated combination. Continuing a successful career as a concert performer, Wilson also became a musicians' rights activist as well as a musical theater performer and organizer of various museum displays of the Supremes' famed costumes. Wilson was inducted along with Ross and Ballard (as members of the Supremes) into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.
