So I caught an episode of "Living it Up With Patti LaBelle" and she was visiting Detroit, and the Motown Museum with Sheryl Lee Ralph and Phylicia Rashad in tow. And Patti was discussing, by one of those James Kriegsmann photos of the Supremes after Cindy Birdsong joined, of how Diana Ross remembered Cindy, and gaffled her from the Bluebelles to replace a dispondent Florence Ballard.
And both these heffas, both of which are past 50, and were alive in the summer of 1967, acted like this was fresh news right off the press.
Maybe they were fronting like Patti was saying something new, but if I remember correctly, Sheryl Lee was in the original Broadway cast of Dreamgirls in 1981. So, you'd think she'd be vaguely familiar with the real story that the musical was based upon.
She responded with a "Guuuurl..uh uh, you lyin!"
Someone Shoot me, or may Florence Ballard haunt her for a good 6 weeks.
