		At a sock hop, he asked Mary to sing the song she had for Wilson: recognizing something special in her soft'n'sweet vocal style, Gordy used his famous 'ears' to determine that Mary would be a valuable addition to his fledgling roster.

		And despite the grueling treatments she was going through to prepare for the procedure, Mary was in good spirits, glad to hear from me, eager to tell me exactly what was being done to fight the cancer that was ravaging her body and how convinced she was that the procedure would help.
		Mary, for a while, wrote for The Virginian-Pilot and before that, she wrote extension columns for another local paper.
		I got to know Mary well when she worked for the paper, and my first impression was one that I don't think anybody who knew her well would deny: Mary could be a little pushy.

		"Well," I consoled myself, "we can paint them all beige." But Harding was cool, Ed gave the plane a sympathetic little pat, Jere and Tom didn't even blink, Glenn smiled beatifically, Jack puffed his pipe--he said later he would have given anything to disappear into thin air, he didn't know what to think.
		Wells Rich Greene had experienced its share of heartfelt applause for campaigns but nothing like the reaction to those first "I Love New York" commercials, because they mattered so much to so many people.

		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.
		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.
		It's been rumored that Wells was being groomed for the sort of plans that were subsequently lavished upon Diana Ross; more nefariously, it's also been rumored that Motown quietly discouraged radio stations from playing Wells' subsequent releases.

		Wells got her big break by auditioning her own "Bye Bye Baby" to Motown founder Berry Gordy; Gordy promptly signed her and released the song as a single, which did fairly well with R & B audiences.
		But after that point she was firmly in the hands of Gordy and his team of writers and producers, falling into a dependent pattern that was followed by all major Motown singers until the end of the decade.
		All the single sides Wells cut for Atco are here, together with some unreleased tracks and side one of her LP for the label.

		One of the things I discovered is that Mary Wells, who had a #1 hit that year with the classic "My Guy," was Motown's biggest star going into 1964.
		Mary Wells became a star when Barry Gordy signed her as a teenager and she had her first Motown hit, "Bye Bye Baby." Since that does not appear on this collection of "The Best of Mary Wells," you can see that once again we have a CD with a somewhat misleading title.
		With her soft voice, Mary Wells was a soul singer who could sound both shy and sexy at the same time.
