Mary ain't survive ****. She was flopping for filth between Family Affair and BWY.
None cared about it. The equivalent of a Vivica Fox.
That was Mary's fault, tho. She picked so many horrible singles during the L&L era. Like what about "Don't Go" or "Let Me Be The 1"? Why weren't they singles?
But her ass came back & slayed with The Breakthrough.

Pepcé snatched nothing. Her eras were too underwhelming to have any impact. All the relevant R&B girls were already gone or in the process of fading when Pepcé came on the scene. She only had Alicia as competition and she still lost.

BWY and that era was so important for her legacy. Without it, she would have been lost and forgotten as well.
It extended her courier and solidified her once and for all. She better thank her lucky stars.
Being married to Jay Zoo has helped her immensely, and Maffew stealing Amerie's original plan to make gogo/R&B/funk songs with Rich Harrison for his daughter helped as well.
Alicia should come out (even if she's not gay). It would help her get some publicity & def. raise her profile. Whats more interesting than being a lesbian homewrecking pianist mother?
But B made B'day all on her own. Matty didn't even know she was recording...
