Pictured above from left : Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Berry Gordy, Diana Ross and Mary Wilson (who appears to be slapping Ross's face).
Sunday April 14, 2013 was opening night of Motown, the Broadway musical about the history of the legendary Detroit-based record label that launched the careers of Diana Ross and the Supremes, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Stevie Wonder and so many more.
Many Motown artists adorned the stage at curtain call. You see Smokey Robinson at the left next to Motown founder Berry Gordy who wrote the book for the show and on his right is Diana Ross. Right next to Diana is her one-time singing partner, former Supreme Mary Wilson.
Ross and Wilson have quite a history – and it’s not all good. Girlhood friends from the Detroit projects, they are founding members of the Supremes. But the last time these two ladies stood on a stage together was 30 years ago for Motown’s 25th anniversary special.
