Mary Wilson was a founder and singer of the legendary girl band “The Supremes.”

Topping the American charts with soul and blues songs through the 1960s, the band was breathing down The Beatles’ necks.

The Supremes fell apart in the ’70s, but Wilson carried on singing their songs. An award-winning movie “Dreamgirls,” featuring singer Beyonce, was based on “The Supremes” success story. Wilson will bring to Kyiv her collection of costumes that will be open for viewing in Ukrainian House from Feb. 4 to Feb. 14 free of charge.
