Then when it was time to "replace" Flo, Patti, Nona and Sarah found out like everyone else and was so pissed they didn't talk to Cindy for like a year. Cindy finally got to Patti and Patti was all like "you hurt us, you should've told us, I would've been cool with it" and Cindy basically apologized and told her to tell Nona and Sarah she was sorry too but they were less forgiving than Patti was.
So I think Cindy was unfortunately really clueless. And Motown being more experienced didn't actually help matters.
Did you know the song "Can I Speak to You Before You Go to Hollywood" by Labelle was about Cindy?
