MARY WELLS
The Orange County Register July 27, 1992 page; f03
Singer Mary Wells, who in the 1960s had teen-agers snapping their fingers to
"My Guy" and other tales of love lost and found, died Sunday after a
long bout with cancer. She was 49. Wells, who underwent surgery for cancer of the larynx in August 1990, died at
the University of Southern California's Kenneth Norris Jr. Cancer Center, said
her daughter, Stacy Womack. She had been hospitalized
there for several months.
Along with Smokey Robinson, the Supremes, Temptations and Four Tops, Wells
helped break down the era's musical segregation.
In 1961 through 1964, she hit the Top 10 in the pop charts with "The One
Who Really Loves You," "You Beat Me to the Punch," "Two
Lovers" and her signature "My Guy," all written or co-written by
Robinson, a fellow Motown Records star. "In 1964, Mary Wells was our big, big artist," said Lucy Gordy
Wakefield, Motown's first sales chief. "I don't think there's any audience
with an age of 30 through 50 that doesn't know the words to `My Guy.' "
When Wells was diagnosed with cancer, the two-pack-a-day cigarette smoker had no
medical insurance and lost her modest home in Los Angeles when she couldn't pay
rent.
The Washington, DC-based Rhythm and Blues Foundation raised more than $50,000 to
pay for her medical bills. Diana Ross gave $15,000, Rod Stewart and Bruce
Springsteen $10,000 each and the Temptations $5,000. After the operation, Wells underwent chemotherapy. In June 1991, doctors found
the cancer was spreading and she began an experimental drug regimen. She resumed
chemotherapy late in 1991, said Steve Cohen, her manager for more than 13 years.
Wells married and divorced Cecil Womack, the brother of
musician Bobby Womack. She is survived by four
children, Cecil Womack Jr., Stacy Womack,
Harry Womack and Sugar Womack,
and by a brother, Fletcher Wells.
