Mary Esther Wells (May 13, 1943 – July 26, 1992) was an American singer who helped to define the emerging sound of Motown in the early 1960s. Along with the Supremes, the Miracles, the Temptations, and the Four Tops, Wells was said to have been part of the charge in black music onto radio stations and record shelves of mainstream America, "bridging the color lines in music at the time."
With a string of hit singles composed mainly by Smokey Robinson, including "The One Who Really Loves You"", "Two Lovers" (1962), the Grammy-nominated "You Beat Me to the Punch" (1962) and her signature hit, "My Guy" (1964), she became recognized as "The Queen of Motown" until her departure from the company in 1964, at the height of her popularity. She was one of Motown's first singing superstars.
Mary Esther Wells was born near Detroit's Wayne State University on May 13, 1943, to a mother who worked as a domestic, and an absentee father. One of three children, she contracted spinal meningitis at the age of two and struggled with partial blindness, deafness in one ear and temporary paralysis. During her early years, Wells lived in a poor residential Detroit district. By age 12, she was helping her mother with house cleaning work. She described the ordeal years later:

Plot: It's Christmas Eve, and a snowstorm is blowing through the small town of Summit View. The roads are virtually empty, except for a group of vehicles that get stuck on a remote road on the outskirts of town. The seven people involved decide to take refuge in a nearby abandoned church. Those seven are: James, an ex-priest who is running away from his life and his vocation following the death of his wife and child; Darryl, an EMT who dreams of becoming a doctor, but who believes that dream will never materialize because of his dyslexia; wealthy married couple Drake and Madeleine, whose marriage and its problems are centered on money; newlyweds Nick and Christy, who find that they are arguing more and more ever since their wedding three days ago; and the only local among the bunch, Joe, who is separated from his wife Mary, largely because of their differing views of how to manage their family, most specifically in dealing with their autistic son, Matt. They are eventually joined by an eighth, Mary, who comes to provide some food and blankets to the stranded seven, but whose SUV also gets stuck by the church. As the eight interact with each other, they find that the true Christmas spirit comes to the surface which assists each with their own life problems, especially as they work together toward a common goal to help specifically Mary and Joe.

Plot: Wrangler Clay Phillips and his young brother are taking horses to Sonora when they come across four dancehall girls heading the same way, stuck with a wrecked buggy. He takes the girls on to the nearest ranch, where it turns out one of the girls is the homesteader's wayward daughter. As he already has an escaped killer after him he is less than thrilled to have to take the remaining girls on with him. But it has to be said that Mary is damn easy on the eye.

Genres: Drama,Time and legions of other soul superstars have obscured the fact that for a brief moment, Mary Wells was Motown's biggest star. She came to the attention of Berry Gordy as a 17-year-old, hawking a song she'd written for Jackie Wilson; that song, "Bye Bye Baby," became her first Motown hit in 1961. The full-throated approach of that single was quickly toned down in favor of a pop-soul sound. Few other soul singers managed to be as shy and sexy at the same time as Wells (Barbara Lewis is the only other that springs to mind), and the soft-voiced singer found a perfect match with the emerging Motown production team, especially Smokey Robinson. Robinson wrote and produced her biggest Motown hits; "Two Lovers," "You Beat Me to the Punch," and "The One Who Really Loves You" all made the Top Ten i...

Yours truly, Edward Villalba on my 23rd birthday (6/9/82) on Bass performing with Motown Legend Mary Wells and Curtis Womack. Mary Wells had a real bad cold that day but still went on stage and did her best to sing. She died not long after of throat cancer. Always wondered if it was the cancer affecting her voice that day. She was a real nice lady and I will always treasure sharing the stage with her. Also on stage that day was Bobby Womack's brother Curtis who was Mary Wells Boyfriend at that time. We had one practice with her the day before and did 2 shows with her the next day. Not long after, she made her appearance on the Motown 25th anniversary special.
Funeral service for Rose Mary Wells part 1 of 3
Mary Wells, vocals; Gary Swan, music director, keyboards, background vocals; Steve Recker, electric guitar, background vocals; Wayne Bergeron, trumpet, Dave Stanbaugh, tenor sax; Gary Tole trombone; John Menzano bass; Gerry Leone, drums. I met Gary on a break from touring with Al Stewart. I think Dave Camp referred me. I had just returned from England with a very fancy suit I bought on Carnaby Street. Gary introduced me to the band and asked them why they did not dress so nicely. That really got me off on a great foot with the guys... Anyway, I became great friends with Gary and played a million gigs with the Hollywood Heroes. And he introduced me to Tommy Chong, but that is another story . The club was The Hop in Orange County, It was owned by the Righteous Brothers. I even remember meeti...
This is an awesome story, a small slice of life incident from the Civil War. This was published in 1922 in St. Nicholas Magazine and was written by Mary Wells. This reading is by Dennis M. Morrison.
When I became of age my mother called me to her side,
she said,"Son, you're growing up now pretty soon you'll take a bride.
And then she said, "Just because you've become a young man now,
there's still somethings that you don't understand now;
before you ask some girl for her hand now
keep your freedom for as long as you can now."
My mama told me, "You better shop around,
Oh yeah, you better shop around."
(shop, shop around)
Ah, there's somethings that I want you to know now.
Just as sure as the winds gonna blow now
women come and the women gonna go, now
before you tell em that you love em so now.
My mama told me, "You better shop around,
Oh yeah, you better shop around."
(shop, shop around)
A-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.
Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
make sure she's in love with-a you now.
My mama told me, "You better shop around."
Oo yeah, A-try to get yourself a bargain son.
Don't be sold on the very first one.
A-pretty girls come a dime a dozen,
a-try to find one who's gonna give you true lovin'.
Before you take a girl and say I do, now,
make sure she's in love with-a you now.
Make sure that her love is true now.
I hate to see you feelin' sad and blue now."
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
(shop around)
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
(shop around)
My mama told me, "You better shop around.
