With the assistance of her close friend Mark Bego, founding member Mary Wilson tells the complete story of The Supremes, both on- and off-stage, from their beginnings as The Primettes in June 1959 to their 1964 breakthrough Motown hit, ‘Where Did Our Love Go’, and from the departure of Diana Ross to the group’s comeback in the mid-1970s. Packed with personal ancedotes and reflections from Mary herself, the text is accompanied by rare archive photography and ephemera, much taken from Mary’s personal collection.
