Mary Wilson’s Debut Album Released Expanded | New Inspirational Single ‘Why Can’t We All Get Along’
In keeping with a promise made to the legendary artist/author and original and founding member of the Supremes, Mary Wilson, Motown has announced the release of “Mary Wilson: Expanded Edition.”
In time for what would have been Mary Wilson’s 77th Birthday, March 6th, we celebrate her birthday and honor her history and legacy with the first of her album projects.
Ms. Wilson, who retained ownership of her solo recordings, wanted to make the album – and much more – available to her many fans around the world. Mary Wilson: Expanded Edition is a newly compiled version of her solo album, originally released by Motown in 1979.
“Why can’t we all just get along together
We got to find a way
That’s the issue of the day”
Added to the album are eight incredible bonus tracks, four of them unreleased, including the legendary tracks recorded as a follow-up to the album produced by Gus Dudgeon. Featured as the lead single is a brand-new song, “Why Can’t We All Get Along,” produced by Richard Davis and co-written with Angelo Bond, who previously had great success as a co-writer with General Johnson and Greg Perry for “Bring The Boys Home.”
Sadly, we all mourned the sudden passing of Mary Wilson on February 8th, which also marked the 56th Anniversary of The Supremes’ #1 hit, “Stop! In the Name Of Love.”
Mary was a world-renowned singer, best-selling author, a humanitarian, artist rights advocate, philanthropist, cultural ambassador for the U.S. appointed by Colin Powell, but she was best known as a “Supreme.”
