"We have been following Mary for several years. The CAMDEN CITY AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMISSION, INC, host the JUNETEENTH in Camden City since 2002. Mary has headline our events. She never disappoints and always takes it to a higher level. We have been to the Phyllis Hyman Tribute, Atlantic City, NJ. We attended the Mary Cross Jazz Quintet/Quartet and many of the classics community festivals. She is amazing, warm and friendly, and makes you feel special each performance. We had the opportunity to attend the "Living All Aone" play at Academy of Music in Philadelphia earlier this year. Mary Cross would have brought it to life. People were disappointed. Many left early because the SPIRIT of Phyllis was missing. Hopefully Mary will get the opportunity to bring it to life. SHE SOUNDS LIKE PHYLLIS HYMAN every time she opens her mouth to sing one of her songs. We are a WITNESS!"
