It's almost the end of another week, and thank heavens for that! It also happens to be the centenary of the influential director Lewis Gilbert (without whom we wouldn't have had classic movies such as Alfie, You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, Educating Rita or Shirley Valentine); other birthday celebrants include Frankie Howerd, Michelangelo, Stephen Schwartz, Kiki Dee, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, Alan Davies, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa...
...and Mary Wilson (formerly) of the Supremes!
To get the party started with the appropriate level of sparkle, how about a little something from the later stages of the lady's career as part of that esteemed girl-group-sensation? Thank Disco It's Friday!
Have a great weekend, peeps!
Mary Wilson (born 6th March 1944)
Well, I’m glad they had such nice bathrobes to wear on stage.
ReplyDeleteI've been eying one up on eBay - the Susaye Greene bankruptcy sale, probably. Jx
DeleteMary, Scherrie & Susaye was a fab disco album such a shame they disbanded 9 months after it's release.
ReplyDeleteThey were abandoned by Motown in favour of Mrs Gordy/Miss Ross, so the writing was on the wall for them, unfortunately. Jx
DeleteDefinitely Disco! They are very lively, aren't they?!

I blame Tartrazine. It was very popular in the 70s. Jx
