It’s a Happy 75th birthday to arguably the second most famous member of the Supremes, Mary Wilson. Mary is also the longest tenured member of the Supremes, staying on well past Diana Ross’ departure, through 1977. Along with Diana and Florence Ballard, she was inducted into the Rock N’Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

She still keeps up an active concert schedule, and on Wayback Wednesday today, it’s Mary Wilson doing a medley of some of the Supremes big early hits.
