Mary Wilson is the self-titled debut album of founding Supremes member Mary Wilson's, released on the Motown label in 1979.
The album was Wilson's first solo album after the last Supremes lineup of Wilson, Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene broke up in 1977. Wilson had decided to begin a solo career after she, Payne and Greene couldn't agree on the Supremes' music direction, leaving Payne and Greene to try - unsuccessfully - to find a replacement for Wilson.
The album's single, "Red Hot", peaked at number ninety-five on the Billboard R&B singles chart. An extended version available on a 12" single earned the song a #85 spot on the disco charts in October.
After the album's release, it would be over a decade later before Wilson released another studio album, this time with 1992's Walk the Line.
