released from 1968 to 1969, save for their duets with The Temptations.
The Supremes-less songs include:
"Forever Came Today" (their last track done by Holland-Dozier-Holland)
"Some Things You'll Never Get used To"
"Love Child"
"I'm Livin' in Shame"
"The Composer"
"No Matter What Sign You Are"
"Someday We'll Be Together"
Therefore, Cindy Birdsong never appeared on any of the singles attributed to "Diana Ross & the Supremes". Motown's regular female backing group, The Andantes, sing backgrounds on all but one of these songs.
Maxine and Julia Waters sing backup on "Someday We'll Be Together", which was originally supposed to have been recorded by Jr. Walker. Gordy had producer Johnny Bristol use Diana Ross as the vocalist on the song, which was THEN supposed to be her first solo single.
However, the Supremes' manager Shelly Berger heard "Someday We'll Be Together", and convinced Gordy to release it as the final "Diana Ross & the Suprmees" single before the Suprmees moved ahead with new lead singer Jean Terrell.
