	Cindy Birdsong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cindy Birdsong (born Cynthia Ann Birdsong on December 15, 1939 in Camden, New Jersey) is an African-American singer.
		Birdsong was a founder member of Patti LaBelle and the Blue Belles, a group she performed with from its 1960 inception until 1967, when she was hired by Berry Gordy to replace Florence Ballard in The Supremes.
		Just as Birdsong joined the group, the Supremes were in the process of changing their name to "Diana Ross and the Supremes", acknowledging Ross as the group's focal point.

	Lynda Laurence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At this time, her sister was going by the name Cindy Scott, and rejoined Lynda in the group Wonderlove.
		Cindy originally replaced Sundray Tucker in the group The Ordettes, later to be named Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles, so it was ironic that Sundray's sister, Lynda, would be taking Cindy's place as a background singer.
		In March of 1972 The Supremes (Jean Terrell Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong) were scheduled to tour Australia and Hawaii when Jean fell ill and was unable to join the group on the tour.

	Mary Wilson
		Relations between Ross and the others inevitably deteriorated as a result, leading to the replacement of a thoroughly-unhappy Ballard with Cindy Birdsong in 1967; this same year the name of the group was altered to 'Diana Ross and The Supremes', leaving little question concerning the pecking order amongst the members.
		The group's output over the next three years continued to be well-received, but, after a succession of line-up problems in 1973 (Birdsong being replaced by Lynda Laurence, Terrell being replaced by Scherrie Payne, and Laurence being replaced once again by Birdsong) their popularity began to wane.
		In 1982 Wilson made an unlikely reunion with Diana Ross and Cindy Birdsong, performing Someday We'll Be Together on a television special in celebration of Motown's 25th anniversary.

	The Supremes - Individually and Collectively
		After a few missed appearances and sloppy performances (including the infamous Flamingo Hotel incident where Cindy Birdsong replaced Florence midway through the show and no one noticed), it was agreed that she would be "released" from her contract to the group in 1967.
		Cindy Birdsong's "Dancing Room" was released overseas on Hi-Hat Records in 1987.
		Susaye never charted with a hit of her own, although she did write the hit "Free" which was co-written and recorded by Deniece Williams, and a song for Michael Jackson, "I Can't Help It." Before joining the Supremes she was a member of Stevie Wonder's back-up group, the Wonderloves.

		There's not really much to comment on Mary Wilson or Cindy Birdsong as their backing vocals were only used as decorative obligation and these were practically all Diana Ross solo efforts.
		Discover Me (And You'll Discover Love) was thoroughly excellent for a mere album track and though could never have been a hit was far superior to some of the more mediocre offerings on here with Ross excelling herself vocally with her stirring, beautifully understated performance that sounds at its best on the climax.
		The harmonies of Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong all blend divinley together.

		Way back in January, Mary announced through the syndicated column I write with Stacy Jenel Smith that she, Ross and Cindy Birdsong were laying plans for the reunion tour, that rehearsals were to start in May and that they'd head out on the road in the summer.
		But in the ensuing negotiations, infighting reared its ugly head and Wilson was reportedly informed by Ross' business managers that she wouldn't be part of a summer tour.
		According to her, the trouble erupted over money: Ross stood to make between $15 million and $20 million on the reunion gigs; Wilson was offered less than $3 million, and Birdsong a reported mere pittance of that.
