CINDY BIRDSONG

CINDY BIRDSONG

1939

The Supremes

            Cindy Birdsong was born in Mount Holly, New Jersey, US. Her family lived in Philadelphia during her childhood and then moved back to New Jersey. Birdsong dreamed of becoming a nurse and after schooling she went to study at college. In 1960, a friend contacted her and asked her if she could replace another singer in her group the Ordettes.

            Birdsong is best known for being one of the singers in the group The Supremes in 1967, when she replaced co-founding member Florence Ballard. Birdsong had previously been a member of Patti LaBelle & the Bluebells. She first met The Supremes when The Bluebells opened for them in 1963 and the two groups travelled together. Supreme singer, Ballard suffered from alcoholism and depression and Birdsong stood in for her as a stand-in during concerts. In 1967, Birdsong left The Bluebirds without telling her co-singers to join Diana Ross and The Supremes. The Bluebirds were angry and refused to talk to her (they changed their name to Labelle). For the first two years with The Supremes, Birdsong’s voice was rarely heard on music releases. Diana Ross left The Supremes in 1970 because she felt she outgrew them and wanted to go solo and Jean Terrell replaced her and Birdsong’s voice was heard more prominently. She left the Supremes when she became pregnant in 1972 and returned in 1973.

            Birdsong lives in Los Angeles, and was married to Charles Hewlett in 1970; they had a son David and divorced in 1975.

            In 1969, Birdsong was kidnapped at knifepoint by a maintenance man who worked in the same building where she lived. She, Hewlett and friend Howard Meek had returned to her apartment when the man threatened them with a knife. He made Birdsong tie up the two men and then forced her downstairs and into his car. She escapes unharmed by jumping out of his car on the San Diego freeway. The kidnapper, Charles Collier, is arrested in Las Vegas, 4 days later.

            In her later life, Birdsong suffered from several strokes and her family revealed that her carer and friend prevented them from being able to support her, a judge awarded her family with conservatorship in 2023.

Is there any truth to Mick Jagger dating Cindy Birdsong of the supremes?

The Rolling Stones toured with LaBelle in the early 60s and Cindy was a member at the time. Now, idk if they were dating or fucking, but it does seem like they were always around each other! 💁🏿‍♀️☕️
