Mary Wilson of The Supremes Dies At Age 79
Mary Wilson, a co-founder of USA Motown soul group The Supremes, has died at age 79. A cause of death has not been revealed.
Mary started the Supremes in Detroit in 1959 with Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Betty McGlown. Initially they were called The Primettes, the female equivalent to Detroit male act The Primes, featuring Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams, who later became The Temptations.
McGlown left in 1960, was replaced by Cindy Birdsong. In 1970 Diana Ross left and went solo while Mary continued The Supremes through to 1977, ending the group as the only original and continuous member.
