The Primettes signed to Motown Records in 1961, changing their name to The Supremes,iIn 1967, Motown president Berry Gordy changed the name of the group to Diana Ross & The Supremes.

After an out-of-court settlement, Wilson signed with Motown for solo work, releasing a disco-heavy self-titled album in 1979. A single, from the album, "Red Hot" has a modest showing of #90 on the pop charts. Midway through production of a second solo album in 1980, Motown dropped her from their roster. Wilson released two singles on iTunes called "Life's Been Good To Me" and "Darling Mother (Johnnie Mae)" in 2011 and 2013 respectively.
