About The Record:

Mary Wilson was the debut solo album by the founding Supremes member, Mary Wilson. Despite the radio ads and label promotion, the "Disco Sucks" movement impacted the release which heavily featured disco. The album did not chart on the Billboard 200 but charted for a week at No. 74 on its R&B albums listing. Cashbox magazine however charted it for five weeks on its pop albums chart, peaking at No. 168. Its lead single, Red Hot, squeaked into the Billboard R&B singles chart at No. 95. Another single, Pick Up the Pieces, failed to chart at all. An extended version of Red Hot was made available as a 12-inch single and reached No. 85 on the disco charts in October 1979.
