Sunday night is opening night of Motown, the Broadway musical about the
history of the legendary Detroit-based record label that launched the
careers of Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Stevie Wonder and so many more.
Jane Fonda was among the stars on hand and she tweeted just tweeted this photo from the curtain call. You see Robinson at the left next to Motown founder Berry Gordy
who wrote the book for the show and on his right is Miss Ross. Right
next to Diana is her one-time singing partner, former Supreme Mary Wilson.
These two have quite a history – and it’s not all good. Girlhood
friends from the Detroit projects, they are founding members of the
Supremes. But the last time these two ladies stood on a stage together
was 30 years ago for Motown’s 25th anniversary special. Their reunion,
which also included fellow Supreme Cindy Birdsong (who replaced the late Florence Ballard in the group) was a disaster. Ross and Wilson clashed and there was some elbowing of Wilson out of the spotlight by Ross.
In 2000, they tried to reunite for a tour but negotiations fell apart amid hard feelings between Ross and Wilson.
It’s nice to see them on the same stage again – not sure how friendly they were but when I find out, will certainly share!
