@Vivaci Beautiful woman and a talented singer. I was sad when I learned of it too. 😞
@Rutterman Yeah, she was 76, and so beautiful! 😍

That's a lovely song you shared, Pahtoosh....😘 I'm loving the lyrics.

@Vivaci Thanks. A lot of people might not be familiar with it and I thought it would be a nice one to post here. Also, I thought it would be good to share a post-Diana Ross Supremes' song. Mary Wilson was the only original member of the group who stayed with it until it was disbanded in 1977.
@Rutterman Florence was the first one to leave, right? And she even died a tragic death in 1976!

That was a very smart pick indeed. Ms Mary deserved this special mention.

@Vivaci She was actually removed from the Supremes in 1967, and yes, I believe she was the first one out of the group. She struggled with alcoholism and depression and died of a heart attack at the age of 32. Very sad.
@Rutterman 🥺 True!
