R E S T - I N - P E A C E #maryWilson one of the original singers with the legendary singing group #thesupremes has passed away. She reportedly died in her sleep. Sending our condolences to her family and friends. May she Rest In Peace.
Mary Wilson is best known as a founding member and longest member of the Supremes, who during the 1960s became Motown's most successful act, and are the best-charting female group in US history, as well as one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. The group released a record-setting twelve number-one hit singles on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Wilson remained with the group following the departures of other original members, Florence Ballard in 1967 and Diana Ross in 1970. Following Wilson's own departure in 1977, the group disbanded. Wilson later became a New York Times Best Seller in 1986 with the release of her autobiography, Dreamgirl: My Life As a Supreme, a record setter for sales in its genre.
She and Ross had an icy relationship over the years, most especially with the release of her autobiography.
In recent years, they had become friendllier, even posing for pictures together at a couple of industry events.
