Keeping My Mind on Love

Summary

Keeping My Mind on Love is the 16th and final album recorded by Motown recording artist Mary Wells. On the Motorcity label, this was Wells's first new record in seven years: much like a lot of the former Motown stars, Wells had signed with Motorcity in order to build on the new attention garnered by the sales of classic Motown singles. This was one of the few projects from the label to be released: it folded in the early to mid-1990s. After the release of this album, Wells promoted it until she was diagnosed with throat cancer, which took away her voice. Wells died of her illness in July 1992 at the age of 49.
