Post Description
Op 17-jarige leeftijd tekende Wells een contract met platenmaatschappij Motown Records. Ze was daarmee een van de eerste artiesten van het label die in 1962 een Top 10-hit bereikten op de Billboard Hot 100 met The One Who Really Loves You. Daarna volgde een lange reeks van hits, waaronder Two Lovers (1962) en het met een Grammy genomineerde You Beat Me To The Punch (1962), alle geschreven en geproduceerd door Smokey Robinson. Het grootste succes bereikte ze met de single My Guy (september 1964). Daarnaast zong ze duetten met Marvin Gaye (Once Upon A Time en What's The Matter With You Baby).
Het succes leidde echter tot grote problemen in de relatie tussen Wells en Motown Records. Wells, die het platencontract op 17-jarige leeftijd had getekend, was niet tevreden met het aandeel dat ze kreeg van de opbrengst van de hit My Guy, net zoals ze ongelukkig was dat Motown een groot deel van de opbrengsten gebruikte om een andere Motown-naam te promoten, The Supremes. Oprichter en eigenaar van Motown Berry Gordy probeerde te schikken met Wells, maar zonder succes. Begin 1965 won Wells een rechtszaak tegen Motown waarbij het platencontract werd ontbonden en ze een schadevergoeding van de platenmaatschappij ontving. Haar vriendin Brenda Holloway kwam vervolgens in aanmerking om haar op te volgen als "Queen of Motown". Zij kreeg de songs die oorspronkelijk voor Mary Wells bestemd waren, maar al snel kreeg ze met Gordy dezelfde problemen.
