Come hear the dramatic ups and downs of the career of Motown's first solo superstar, Mary Wells. While the Supremes were still picking up jobs as backup singers, Ms Wells' signature hit, My Guy, was topping the charts --- even briefly surpassing the Beatles -- becoming one of the first Motown songs to cross the color line into mainstream popularity. Complete with never-before-revealed details, this multi-media presentation will reveal the incredibly turbulent life of Mary Wells. Peter Benjaminson is the author of The Lost Supreme: The Life of Dreamgirl Florence Ballard and The Story of Motown. He is a former reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Detroit Free Press and lives in Manhattan. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
