The music industry is mourning the passing of Motown legend Mary Wilson, co-founder of The Supremes. She was 76.
Her death takes place just days after the legendary girl group, of whom she was the longest-running member, celebrated its 60th anniversary.
Wilson’s longtime friend and publicist, Jay Schwartz confirmed her passing early Tuesday, saying she passed away suddenly at her Las Vegas home.
Berry Gordy, founder of Motown Records, openly grieved the late legend in a public statement, writing, “I was always proud of Mary. She was quite a star in her own right and over the years continued to work hard to boost the legacy of the Supremes.”
