Cynthia Leigh Wilson (born February 28, 1957 in Athens, Georgia) is a member of The B-52's. She began her career as a waitress in her home state of Georgia. She has a strong and melodic voice and sings well in harmonies, particularly as demonstrated with Kate Pierson of the B-52's.
Her brother, Ricky Wilson, was also a founding member of the B-52's. He died in 1985. She took a sabbatical from the band in 1990 to concentrate on her family, during which The B-52's recorded and released the album Good Stuff (Good Stuff is the only B-52's album released as a trio of Pierson, Keith Strickland and Fred Schneider). During the live tour to promote the Good Stuff album in 1992 and 1993, Julee Cruise sang as a replacement for Wilson. Wilson rejoined the B-52's in 1994, then took maternity leave in 1999, recently reforming with the band for their Funplex album, which was released in 2008. She is the only heterosexual member of the B52's.
