Founding member of The Supremes dies at 76
WASHINGTON: Popular singer and The Supremes co-founder Mary Wilson has died, US media reported on Tuesday. She was 76.
She founded the US group aged 15 while living in a Detroit housing project, according to Variety, and continued with the band long after lead singer Diana Ross’ departure, eventually going on to be inducted into the 1988 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
She died at her Las Vegas home on Monday. She was born March 12, 1944 in Greenville, Mississippi.
Wilson and Ballard founded the group that would eventually become known as the Supremes. Despite limited early success, the band struck success in the late sixties with hits like “Stop! In the Name of Love” and “Baby Love”. Following Ross’s departure in 1970 for a solo career the group never regained its dominance on the US charts, but did enjoy some hits such as “River Deep, Mountain High”. of Sidhu’s relatives, including his wife living in Bihar’s Purnea, were kept under surveillance.
During the initial interrogation, an official who did not want to be named, said Sidhu told police that he got emotional and attached to the protest and the farmers’ cause. “The flag hoisting at the Red Fort was not spontaneous. It was a planned one. We will have to probe his links,” the officer said.
Sidhu campaigned for BJP candidate Sunny Deol who contested and won the Gurdaspur constituency in Punjab. Deol has distanced himself from Sidhu’s actions at the Red Fort.
Police told metropolitan magistrate Prigya Gupta that Sidhu was the “main instigator”, which Sidhu’s lawyer Abhishek Gupta denied. Gupta told the court that his client happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and got to know about the flag hoisting from media reports.
Sidhu was produced amidst tight security at the Tis Hazari court, where his private security was also present. The judge, however, did not allow the police’s request for a 10-day remand even as the investigating agency told the court that he has to be taken to various places such as Nagpur, Punjab and Haryana to unearth the conspiracy, identify the co-conspirators, and recover his phones and laptops. cartwheel. Ajinkya Rahane was done in by a replica in the same over. And with those two deliveries, the match was virtually over, setting the stage for England’s 227-run win.
There is no other cricketer playing now for any team who has featured in four Test victories against India in India. It’s just what Anderson does. He has played a critical role in not one but three victorious Ashes campaigns, and he had begun his Test career with a fifer on debut.
Yet, like all long careers, he has had his share of struggles.
Soon after his debut he was shunted into the background, at best used as a net bowler. He worked on changing his action, lost both pace and accuracy. An injury kept him out for most of 2006. The very next year, Anderson came back into cricket a transformed bowler — not a tearaway with raw aggression any more, but a bowler with an unmatched arsenal of weapons.
In England, he marked his second coming with a sevenwicket haul in an innings against New Zealand. By 2010, he had also found an accuracy that made him nearly unplayable. He showed that off on the grandest stage, picking up 24 wickets in the 2010-11 Ashes tour of Australia to hand England the urn.
It is also fitting that in 2018, Anderson went past Glen Mcgrath’s record for most Test wickets by a fast bowler with the wicket of Mohammed Shami in a 4-1 rout over India — it was his 564th wicket, and he had taken more of those against India than any other opponent.
It established his credentials as England’s GOAT (greatest of all time) — at least in the bowling department. And from 564 to 611 — Rishabh Pant in Chennai — Anderson, if it’s possible, only seems to be getting sharper.
POLICE OFFICERS, PRIVY TO THE CASE DETAILS, SAID SIDHU FLED TO DIFFERENT PLACES IN PUNJAB SUCH AS ZIRAKPUR AND LUDHIANA AS WELL AS PARTS OF HARYANA
