==Biography==
===Early life and career===
Terrell was born on 26 November 1945 in [[Belzoni, Mississippi]], United States.<ref name="Soul">http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Jean%20Terrell.html</ref> She was born into a family of ten children, whose father was a Mississippi sharecropper who during Terrell's childhood moved the family north to Chicago when he found employment in the factories. 

She is the sister of the former [[World Boxing Association|WBA]] [[List of heavyweight boxing champions|heavyweight boxing champion]] [[Ernie Terrell]], who fought [[Muhammad Ali]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uzcDAAAAMBAJ&dq=jean+terrell&pg=PA59|title=Jet|first=Johnson Publishing|last=Company|publisher=Johnson Publishing Company|date=February 11, 1971|access-date=December 27, 2023|via=Google Books}}</ref><ref name="NME Rock 'N' Roll Years">{{cite book|first=John|last=Tobler|year=1992|title= NME Rock 'N' Roll Years|edition=1st|publisher=Reed International Books Ltd|location=London, UK|page=203|id= CN 5585}}</ref>

Before her career with the Supremes, she sang with her brother Ernie in the group Ernie Terrell and the Knockouts (sometimes the Heavyweights).<ref name="AllMusic">{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/jean-terrell-mn0000233079|title=Jean Terrell Biography|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=January 16, 2024}}</ref>

===The Supremes (1970–1973)===
[[Motown]] president [[Berry Gordy]] discovered Terrell in 1969 in [[Miami]], where she was performing with her brother at a club.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RG_LAwAAQBAJ&dq=jean+terrell+miami&pg=PT654|title=Motown Encyclopedia|first=Graham|last=Betts|isbn=9781311441546|via=Google Books|date=June 2, 2014|publisher=AC |access-date=January 17, 2024}}</ref> Looking for a replacement for [[Diana Ross]], who was leaving the group she had fronted during most of the 1960s, the Supremes, for a solo career, Gordy first signed Terrell to Motown as a solo artist, but decided to join her with the Supremes as Ross's replacement alongside [[Mary Wilson (singer)|Mary Wilson]] and [[Cindy Birdsong]], as announced in 1969.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FTkDAAAAMBAJ&dq=jean+terrell&pg=PA59|title=Jet|first=Johnson Publishing|last=Company|publisher=Johnson Publishing Company|date=November 6, 1969|access-date=December 27, 2023|via=Google Books}}</ref>

After Ross's farewell show with the group at the [[Frontier Hotel]] in [[Las Vegas]] on January 14, 1970, Terrell joined the group on stage to be presented to the press and public. After this introduction, according to Mary Wilson, Gordy changed his mind about Terrell leading the group and suggested replacing her with [[Syreeta Wright]].<ref name="Ribowsky"/> Gordy said:<blockquote> I don't like Jean. I want to replace her with Syreeta.<ref name="Ribowsky">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QF0sDRMggR4C&q=jean%20terrell%20syreeta|title=The Supremes: A Saga of Motown Dreams, Success, and Betrayal|first=Mark|last=Ribowsky|date=January 29, 2024 |publisher=Da Capo Press |via=Google Books|access-date=January 17, 2024|isbn=9780306815867}}</ref></blockquote> Wilson vetoed this move, instead wanting to continue the group with Terrell.<ref>Wilson, Mary (2000). Dreamgirl & Supreme Faith, Updated Edition: My Life as a Supreme. New York: Cooper Square Press; {{ISBN|0-8154-1000-X}}</ref>

The group scored more chart success at the beginning of the new decade, scoring hits in the [[United Kingdom]], while having several pop and soul hits in the United States, including "[[Up the Ladder to the Roof]]", "[[Everybody's Got the Right to Love]]", "[[Stoned Love]]", "[[River Deep – Mountain High]]" (with the [[Four Tops]]), "[[Nathan Jones (song)|Nathan Jones]]", and "[[Floy Joy (song)|Floy Joy]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QEUEAAAAMBAJ&dq=jean+terrell+hits&pg=PA13|title=Billboard|first=Billboard|last=Publications Inc.|publisher=Billboard Publications Inc.|via=Google Books|date=February 17, 1973|access-date=December 27, 2023}}</ref><ref name="AllMusic"/>

After the success of "Floy Joy," Birdsong quit after getting pregnant and was replaced by [[Lynda Laurence]].<ref name="Sepia">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pfzlAAAAMAAJ&q=jean+terrell+wanted+to+leave+motown|title=Sepia|date=1981|access-date=January 17, 2024|via=Google Books|publisher=Sepia Publishing Corporation}}</ref> Despite the success towards the end of 1973, Terrell and Laurence decided that it would be best for the Supremes to leave Motown and seek another record label, however, Motown owned the name "Supremes" and Wilson was reluctant to leave, so both Terrell and Laurence departed the group that year.<ref name="Sepia">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pfzlAAAAMAAJ&q=jean+terrell+wanted+to+leave+motown|title=Sepia|date=1981|access-date=January 17, 2024|via=Google Books|publisher=Sepia Publishing Corporation}}</ref> All three Supremes were not interested with Motown's seeming lack of interest in promoting this line-up of the group, in addition, Laurence was expecting a child at the time.<ref name="Sepia"/> [[Scherrie Payne]], sister of [[Freda Payne]], replaced Terrell<ref name="Hoffmann"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VrEDAAAAMBAJ&dq=jean+terrell&pg=PA84|title=Jet|first=Johnson Publishing|last=Company|publisher=Johnson Publishing Company|via=Google Books|date=December 6, 1973|access-date=December 27, 2023}}</ref> and [[Cindy Birdsong]] returned to replace Laurence in 1973.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=ULEDAAAAMBAJ&dq=lynda+laurence&pg=PA84|title=Jet|first=Johnson Publishing|last=Company|date=November 1, 1973|publisher=Johnson Publishing Company|via=Google Books}}</ref>

===Solo career===
Signing a contract with [[A&M Records]], A&M issued a solo album by Terrell, ''[[I Had to Fall in Love]]'', in 1978, which did not make impact on any charts, however she did promote the title track on the [[Dinah!]] show in July 1978.<ref name="AllMusic"/><ref name="soul"/> She did have a minor hit with "Don't Stop Reaching for the Top", which peaked at #72 on the R&B charts.  Despite A&M's plans to extensively promote Terrell in an effort to boost their R & B division, Terrell declined to travel extensively and leave her family, and complained that certain plans A&M had for her conflicted with her Jehovah Witness beliefs.  The album failed and she was dropped.  <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.musicvf.com/Jean+Terrell.art|title=Jean Terrell Songs ••• Top Songs / Chart Singles Discography ••• Music VF, US & UK hits charts|website=www.musicvf.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.musicvf.com/song.php?title=Don%27t+Stop+Reaching+for+the+Top+by+Jean+Terrell&id=135754|title=Don't Stop Reaching for the Top (song by Jean Terrell) ••• Music VF, US & UK hits charts|website=www.musicvf.com}}</ref><ref name="Hoffmann">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wNfx07-AJwcC&dq=jean+terrell+i+had+to+fall+in+love&pg=PA256 |first=Frank |last=Hoffmann |title=Rhythm and Blues, Rap, and Hip-hop|publisher=Facts On File, Inc.|date=2005|isbn=9780816069804}}</ref> In the early 1980s, Terrell put together a one-woman show, and did limited touring throughout the United States, and her act consisted of several Supremes songs, songs from her solo album and cover versions of songs by [[Bette Midler]] and [[Lionel Richie]].<ref name="Life and Times of the Motown Stars"/> Laurence would often perform background vocals for Terrell throughout the shows in the tour.<ref name="soul"/><ref name="Life and Times of the Motown Stars"/> Another who performed backing vocals for Terrell during these tours was [[Freddi Poole]], later a member of Payne and Laurence's group the [[Former Ladies of the Supremes]].<ref name="Life and Times of the Motown Stars">{{cite book|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=yik3AQAAIAAJ&q=%22Former+Ladies+of+the+Supremes%22+-wikipedia|title=The Life and Times of the Motown Stars|first=Alex|last=MacKenzie|date=January 8, 2024 |publisher=Together Publications LLP |isbn=978-1-84226-014-2 |access-date=January 3, 2024|via=Google Books}}</ref><ref name="soul">{{cite web|url=http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Jean%20Terrell.html|title=Jean Terrell Page|website=Soulwalking.co.uk|access-date=January 12, 2024}}</ref>

===Former Ladies of the Supremes===

In 1985, eight years after the Supremes officially broke up in 1977, Payne was signed to SuperStar International Records, a Los Angeles-based record label.<ref name="First Ladies of Disco"/> Her then-partner Ronnie Phillips approached her with the idea of reforming the Supremes, to which she agreed, and asked Wilson and Birdsong to join the group.<ref name="First Ladies of Disco"/> Wilson declined, instead opting to continue her solo career, while Birdsong agreed and persuaded Terrell to join the new group.

The grouping of Terrell, Payne and Birdsong set about forming a spinoff group of the Supremes, although due to contractual difficulties over the ownership of the name.<ref name="First Ladies of Disco"/> They decided to create an entirely new group using the abbreviation "FLOS", for the name the Former Ladies of the Supremes.<ref name="First Ladies of Disco"/> Before the group began their career, Birdsong left for a solo career, and Laurence joined the lineup alongside Terrell and Payne, replacing Birdsong just as she had in 1972, and the group released the song "We're Back", released on SuperStar International Records.<ref name="First Ladies of Disco">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r6QVjzB4XTsC&dq=freddi+poole&pg=PA168|title=First Ladies of Disco|first=James|last=Arena|date=July 3, 2013 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=978-0-7864-7581-0 |via=Google Books|access-date=January 3, 2024}}</ref> However, the label did not have national distribution, the song failed to chart and the label folded after. The group began touring and performing in shows around this time, making their debut at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles in 1987.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=hrEDAAAAMBAJ&dq=former+ladies+of+the+supremes&pg=PA62|title=Jet|first=Johnson Publishing|last=Company|date=September 14, 1987|publisher=Johnson Publishing Company|via=Google Books}}</ref> By then, they recorded several singles for the [[United Kingdom]]-based [[Motorcity Records]] label for [[Ian Levine]] throughout 1989 and 1990, joining a roster of former Motown artists.<ref name="AllMusic"/>  After several single releases out of the United Kingdom failed to catch on, Terrell again became disenchanted and suddenly dropped out of the group.

===Recent years===

In December 1992, Terrell left the group and was replaced by [[Sundray Tucker]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-gwHkKmuqDwC&dq=%22Former+Ladies+of+the+Supremes%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA244|title=The 100 Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Songs Ever|first=Avram|last=Mednick|date=April 2000 |publisher=iUniverse |isbn=978-0-595-09304-5 |via=Google Books|access-date=January 3, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GDUYknYQ-tkC&q=%22Former+Ladies+of+the+Supremes%22+-wikipedia|title=Rock Stars Encyclopedia|first1=Dafydd|last1=Rees|first2=Luke|last2=Crampton|date=April 22, 1999 |publisher=DK Pub. |isbn=978-0-7894-4613-8 |via=Google Books|access-date=January 3, 2024}}</ref> In 1996, Tucker left the trio and Terrell made a brief comeback to the group, reuniting with both Payne and Laurence for two special concerts held at the Industry Cafe in Los Angeles. This reunion ended with the recruitment of Freddi Poole in July 1996. In 2004, Terrell released a biographical DVD, "Through the Eyes of a Supreme", and  has continued to sing onstage with various jazz musicians.<ref name="soul"/> A planned CD of Jazz music never materialized after her DVD release.  She has made an occasional appearance onstage (along with Poole and Mary Flowers), singing Supremes hits.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/archive/DYpX6 Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}}{{cbignore}}: {{cite AV media| url = https://freddipoole.tripod.com/news.html| title = Freddie Pool - Latest News | website=freddipoole.tripod.com}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
