Roberta Freeman has worked with everyone from Guns N’ Roses and Pink Floyd to Cinderella and Weezer during her long career as a backup singer, but she points to a five-year stint with Mary Wilson of the Supremes as one of her greatest accomplishments. They traveled the globe in that time and performed timeless hits like “Baby Love,” “You Can’t Hurt Love” and “My World Is Empty Without You” to adoring crowds every night. When Freeman heard about Wilson’s death last week, she sat down and wrote a tribute to her friend and mentor.
