Mary Wilson was a founding member and the mainstay of the Supremes, one of the most successful and influential vocal groups of all time. Following the group's split in the late '70s, the singer recorded occasionally as a solo artist, beginning with the Motown album Mary Wilson (1979). After she became a best-selling author with her first book, Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme, and was inducted with the Supremes into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Wilson released one more album of original material, Walk the Line (1992), as well an assortment of singles, all for independent labels.
