Mary Wells - My Guy...
A QUOTE FROM THE COMMENTS - "I was privileged to have the opportunity to meet Mary and sit down and have a little chat with her. It was 1982, she was no longer a hit maker, but was touring the oldies circuit. My gf and I were 21 and 22, but we always loved Mary"s music. We went to her show in Austin Texas that year, at a large discotheque. She did a 1 hour show, with a 15 minute intermission after 30 minutes. We headed backstage during the break, but my gf noticed the ladies restroom had been roped off, with two big, burly black dudes guarding it. We asked the guys "Can we see Mary and get her autograph?" The big guy said "Hold on a minute" abd 2 minutes later said "Y'all come on in!" There was Mary Wells, sitting in front of the vanity area, in her wig, sequined gown and heels, but wearing her glasses and smoking a cigarette. She greeted me and my gf warmly (("Have a seat kids!") She told us little stories about being at Motown, wanted to know if we'd heard her new album, signed our "My Guy" album covers and posed for a Polaroid camera snapshot, saying "Oh Lord, let me get these glasses off first!" Sorry this is so long, but wonderful memories of a talented, wonderful lady."
