In a statement given to Variety, Motown Records' founder Berry Gordy reflected on Wilson's death, sharing that he was "extremely shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of a major member of the Motown family."  "The Supremes were always known as the 'sweethearts of Motown.'  Mary, along with Diana Ross and Florence Ballard, came to Motown in the early 1960s.  After an unprecedented string of Number One hits, television and nightclub bookings, they opened doors for themselves, the other Motown acts, and many, many others. … I was always proud of Mary," he said. "She was quite a star in her own right."  In fact, she did sing outside of her work with "The Supremes."  Here's her song "Life's Been Good To Me."
