I am American, I always loved three degree sinkers. The song “ when will I see you again” was the most broadcast song by Radio Air Vietnam, U S. soldier in Vietnam loved this song because we all want to go home. I am very disappointed that they didn’t get invited to sing in Queen Elizabeth 70 year Jubilee. Three Degrees, Bee Gee, and Sir Paul McCarthy were left out also. They are so iconic UK singers.
Wonderful group. Very very underrated. They are up there with all the greatest groups and the music, the singing, the style has stood the test of time.
It is weird for me. I was a 12 yr old when I was aware of this group. I am now 54 yrs old. Time is a motherf*cker ain't it? I will always remember these artists as I did as a kid. Thanks TH-cam for helping me re-live my youth.
I observe this main vocal lady,Shelia of 3 degrees sing in a quite very differnt way from the one in 1974...She had opened her mouth widely and had shown her teeth with sharp voice...but this lady sing in a different way...with mouth close and much lower key voice and it seems she cannot sing the High chorus ??? She is like another person ???
@@tommymoriarty6769you are correct, however, Valerie Holiday was apart of the lineup that had the most success and that most people remember. There has been 12 ‘Degrees’ since the formation of the group.
Please let me say that The Three Degrees are at the top of 1970's TALENT and CLASS. These ladies were glorious and gave us all even as children happy life giving sounds. We actually healed our bodies by listening to it. I can't say enough how exceptional the 1970's were in human development pertaining to music. Music was at its pinnacle. The instrumental orchestral bliss was at its peak and I fear never will be heard again. I want to thank the Three Degrees - all of them for contributing life giving enjoyment through music the way it should be. God Bless them always. I truly admire their talent and wish society had not changed the values and criteria for what is good. Best Wishes for all of you. I tear up from the glory you gave us all. Thank you for real music. Amen!
+HHH100 ...What a true and heartfelt loving comment, I could not have expressed it better myself having been born in the 60's and bought up in the 70's...God Bless You and Yours...And thank you to the Three Degrees Music for being able to realise this very fact!
The Three Degrees are truly remarkable! Their rendition of “When Will I See You Again” remains timeless, and it’s amazing how their voices have retained their magic even in their later years. It’s a testament to their talent, passion, and dedication to their craft. Their ability to perform so beautifully and connect with audiences across generations is truly inspiring. They’re a class act, and it’s wonderful to see them still shining on stage!
THREE DEGREES, FOREVER MY LOVE, MY HEART IS BROKEN WHEN I CANNOT HEAR YOUR MUSIC. WHEN I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN IS MY TOP SONG. GOD LIFE FOR ALL OF YOU, FOREVER TANHK YOU.
I am 60 years old, grew up in New York City and lived the 60's, 70s. I just listened to the third degree for the first time on the channel 49, soul town channel. Wow, where the hell was I? Fantastic, beautiful sound.
I didn't realise they were on BBC about 5 years ago promoting their work wonderful shelia couldn't be there but great to see shelia you're so amazing TV singer actress wow wow wow xxx
I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF THE THREE DEGREES SINCE I WAS A CHILD AND IT IS GREAT THAT THEIR MUSIC IS STILL FLAWLESS. THE THREE LADIES HAVE GOT TALENT. I AM LUCKY AS I HAVE JUST BOUGHT VIP MEET AND GREET TICKETS FOR MY NEIGHBOUR AND I AND WE CAN NOT WAIT TO MEET THESE GREAT ENTERTAINERS IN APRIL.
Remember Rollo trying to be their manager he cracked me up when he said " You're supposed to be ready to rehearse, 'we're ready' Well Lets get ta' gettin'" lol!
I will fore er love you dudettes!!! One particular song will be with me till I die. Thanx for that one song, couldn't think of not having that song, it's the bomb!!!!
"when will i see you again" that hit was my shit, im only 35 and i wasn't even born in the 60's and 70's, but during my childhood the good old songs were on commercials and listening to the records my momma always played made me love that song, it's good to see them doing well alive and kicking except ms. fayette pickney who passed in 2009 r.i.p. to her, like a female temptations group, all of the temptations members passed away, r.i.p. to those guys..
I think maybe if the group breaks up or a member leaves it’s better to start afresh with a new name. They still have the prestige of the original group attached just seems a bit more honest.
With all respect to these ladies, and praying that all are still with us, Sheila Ferguson truly was The Three Degrees…And Fayette Pinkney’s untimely death changed the original sound of this group.
I'm a 67 year old former rock and roll drummers, always loved your music even though it was not my thing. Even Abba was not my thing,...too square. But I was never sure which one of you were the most beautiful, ALL STONE FOXES. I AM ENJOYING YOUR MUSIC JUST AS THE SHIRELLES, ABBA, ETC. I DID NOT APPRECIATE MOTOWN ENOUGH. THANKYOU FOR GREAT MEMORIES.
I fell in love with valerie holiday when i was in high school. After watching this video, i am 63 yrs old, and i am still in love with her!! Lookin' beautiful as usual val.
Essas jovens senhoras são lindas maravilhosas amei ver elas curtia muito as músicas delas uma em especial me fez apaixonar ...Deus abençoe elas por fazer parte da minha vida
I have done sound for a fairly good lot of engagements, I see in The Three Degrees an awesome vocal and dancing floor show. Probably the best floor show I have ever seen.
There's a world of difference between the two groups, like Freddie said, it was like joining a female Temptations group, although The Supremes started as a sister group to The Temptations, but w/The Supremes, u only had one person (Diana Ross) singing lead on everything, & the other two ladies (however how many) singing background from the cradle to the grave. (Sorry Florence), & w/The Temptations, they had three lead singers, & The Three Degrees (however how many) all sing leads, which is only fair. If Motown wanted one singer & two backgrounds, Gordy should have made it clear that his bitch was singing lead & the other two would be singing behind that slut puppy, then they could decide if they wanted to stay or move on to a greener pasture. That was the reason David Ruffin was fired because he wanted the group to be named David Ruffin & The Temptations, & that was impossible since two other guys was singing lead. Same thing happened to The Marvelettes & Martha Reeves & The Vandellas, one person sings all leads & the rest of the girls sang background. That's bullshit, but every dog has their day, but for some, it wiil be the rest of their lives. There's a payday for everybody & that goes especially to Motown who plays favoritism!
I still remember clearly that When Will I See You Again, back in '74, and it's become a permanent piece of my repertoire!! Sounds lovely on this 5-string J-Bass!! 🎸 Just wish I had someone to do the vocals 🎤 & keyboard 🎹, & everyone could join in the chorus & dancing!! 🌕👠🏌️♂️🏌️♀️ Wha'dya think?
Me and my three sisters came to see you at wakefield on the 10 of February, we have been fans of your since the early 70s and really enjoyed the show, but we were so disappointed you didn't come to see your fans afterwards up in the bar .
that first group for me is still the best when fayette left and helen came in they managed that change but when sheila left I felt it was a step too far they are still good but first three still the best for me
People keep saying Shelia was the best. Yes she was good. But she turned down the offer to regroup with the group in the 90s and 2000s. Besides Freddie Pool, the other two members have been part of the original line up. And they have led this group until this point and to the future. People need to get with the program and appreciate that without these women 3 degrees would not be relevant today. People do age, and people leave. Deal with it.
Sheila left the group. She didn't want to continue with the group. Helen and Valerie have been the longest members in the group. People need to get over themselves. All these three women are the current make up of the Three Degrees. People need to get over it. These three women continue to put the work with the group. They are amazing.
I understand they wanna keep the spirit of the three degrees alive but they're not the three degrees without Sheila the original voice of The Three Degrees

Love them. They've aged very well also. Still playing "When will I see you again" till date

The same with me. This song stuck in my memory since high school, so I was in 16 year old. I am 54 now.... TH-cam is awesome.
That's not the original three degrees who are they kiddiing

'When will I see you again....' was my favourite and loved the group during my teenage years !
Awesome women! It is so great to see older women who still rock in the music industry.
without Sheila Ferguson it's not the same, i'm sad..
true
She's irreplaceable. So scintillating. But respect to her for wanting to give her daughters the family life she didn't have.
Yep missing Sheila, for sure.
Thanks for sharing this video ,,so cool to see them all together again ....such a great group ....love them;;;

I second the motion, or rather, the emotion.👍
Good interview. I always liked this group of the 70's. Looove the song When will I see you Again of 1974.
The interview was just perfect!!! Greetings from Arica.... Chile..... The Three Degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everytime I see them I keep thinking about the Sanford and Son Episode man.

My favourite is Valerie shes still a great entertainer and looks fabulous
Three degrees will always be three degrees to me know matter what but I loved fayette and valerie cant wait see these

Love them all great ladies no special that’s why they were so GREAT
fun to see them today I danced to their music in the 70's
The real Three Degrees for me are Fayette Pinkney, Sheila Fergunson and Valerie Holiday👍
Me too. These 3 are always imbedded in my mind.
I think maybe if the group breaks up or a member leaves it’s better to start afresh with a new name.
They still have the prestige of the original group attached just seems a bit more honest.
Johan van Putten Forever & always!
Sheile had the body and sang hard as a leader. WOW She stacked
I agreel!
Melodía tan mas linda, cada que la escucho me hace llorar.
Saw these 3 lovely ladies perform live at 40.yrs of Disco they raise my temperature up.3 degrees or if not more 🔥😉
"""MAYBE""" is one of the best tunes ever performed by them and blew me out when I heard it. So much passion and intensity
Yes 1970 was awesome
With all respect to these ladies, and praying that all are still with us, Sheila Ferguson truly was The Three Degrees…And Fayette Pinkney’s untimely death changed the original sound of this group.
