Slaychelle's video: RIP Mary Wilson: The Supreme Sings The Way We Were

A short compilation of The Supremes' founding member, Mary Wilson, singing "The Way We Were". "The Way We Were" is the hit theme song, originally recorded by Barbara Streisand for 1973 film of the same name.

In the 1970s alone, they acheived 4 million-selling US singles and several international hits, including, "Up the Ladder to the Roof", "Stoned Love", Nathan Jones" and "Floy Joy". The Supremes; originally comprised of Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson and Diana Ross, are the most successful American group and girl group of all-time, with 12 number one hits (and 5 consecutive between 1964-65) - "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", "Stop!
