See video of a rare reunion between Motown pioneers Diana Ross and Mary Wilson with Berry Gordy
Back in April, I posted a photo of Diana Ross and Mary Wilson – childhood friends, one-time singing partners and at times bitter enemies – together on the same stage on the opening night of Motown, the Broadway musical about the history of the legendary Detroit-based record label that launched their careers.
That posting generated 44 comments and let me know there are still plenty of people out there interested in the love-hate relationship between these two former Supremes.
Here is footage of their first time together in 30 years on the red carpet. I like seeing them smiling and on their best behavior. At Saturday night’s Hollywood Bowl concert, Miss Ross flashed photos of the Supremes and other Motown alums during a Supremes number. It was a nice touch that I had not seen before.

JJ says:
The truth is, from Mary’s own lips, is that she was NOT invited onstage during the Motown the Musical curtain call. She barged her way onstage like a cow. Berry and others were not pleased but smiled to save face and not have another Motown 25 incident.
Chip says:
She may have JJ, but in doing so she doubled the amount of class that Diana brought to the stage. While admiring Diana’s entertaining abilities, I think it’s safe to say she is not the kind of person most would want to count among their ‘friends.’
Shep says:
@ Do you know Diana Ross personally? If you do not then you do not know what kind of person she is or what kind of friend she is.
