The title “First Lady of Motown” doesn’t go to Diana Ross but to the label’s first big female star, Mary Wells. The Beatles requested that she open for them on their 1964 tour. Her biggest hit came that same year with “My Guy.” Her first hit was “The One Who Really Loves You.” Both the single, with picture sleeve, and the album of the same name released on Motown in 1962 are worth up to $150.00 today. Both are seen here.
