The first-ever collection recognising the contribution and career of Motown superstar Mary Wilson is to be released on 4 March.
Mary Wilson’s The Motown Anthology is the first-ever comprehensive overview of Wilson’s Motown discography. The first track, Falling In Love, is available now for streaming and download here.
The 2CD The Motown Anthology boasts nearly two dozen Supremes classics, deep cuts, and never-before-heard songs (most in new mixes) from a host of songwriters including Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Deke Richards, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, Thom Bell and Linda Creed, and others.
In addition to the worldwide CD debut of the 1979 Mary Wilson album, The Motown Anthology premieres on CD solo tracks produced by the late Gus Dudgeon, the first-time-available album version of Mary’s new single Why Can’t We All Get Along, and Eric Kupper’s remix of Red Hot.
The collection also premieres seven songs that have not been heard anywhere: Can’t Take My Eyes Off You and Falling In Love With Love from the unheard Supremes live performance at the Frontier, plus Send Him to Me, If You Let Me Baby, Son of a Preacher Man, Witchi Tai To and Anytime at All.
The set was overseen by Turkessa Babich, Mary Wilson’s daughter, and Jay D. Schwartz, her longtime publicist, with its 44-page booklet stuffed with rare and previously unpublished colour photos.
The booklet also features detailed track annotations, and exclusive tributes to Mary from such luminaries as Dionne Warwick, Darlene Love, Otis Williams, Duke Fakir, Martha Reeves, Claudette Robinson, Brian and Edward Holland, Paul McCartney, Rita Coolidge, Merry Clayton, Brenda Russell, Blinky Williams, and RuPaul.
Hillary Rodham Clinton has penned a special appreciation, as well, for this ultimate celebration of Supreme legend Mary Wilson.
