Y'ALL BETTER SANNNNGGGGG!!!! 💖💖💖🔥💖💖💖🎉🎉🎉🎉 Whew I got chills! Then my eyes filled with water. 😪 And ahhhh the beauty, the class, the natural and powerful vocal abilities -- this was absolutely sublime!
Imagine catching this on TV Live in 74 and not being able to replay it over and over and over. Then you buy the record, and although it's still a great song, you'd always know in the back of your head that this perfect live masterpiece version exists out there. Then one day in 2021 someone uploads it to UA-cam. I hope these people have found it again.
I see why Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) and his friends kept screaming "We Want the Three Degrees" on Sanford & Son 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥. Seriously, this is worth watching over and over!
No one is trying to out shine or over sing anyone. That's why we're able to appreciate their talents individually and even as a group. I honestly cannot get over this performance. ❤
I love how Tik tok is putting people on to Music from the 70’s and giving this group the flowers they deserve. Now back to rewatch this for like the 100th time
The comment I was looking for. Fayette hit that beautiful soft falsetto after sanging in the bottom the majority of the song. Beautiful shows beautiful range.
The mics were on. The rent was due!! This was pure soul and emotion. @4:09 The way valerie crecendo into still be around ! They did what needed to be done. These harmonies alone will put you in a trance.
An absolute MASTERPIECE. The Lyrics, the Vocals the body expressions are absolutely fantastic. In my view the most emotive love song and passion ever 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥲🥲🥲🥲
It the emotions for me… My dad loved The Three Degrees and would play their records quite a bit when I was a kid… I randomly channeled this song today in my psyche and was led to UA-cam to hear it… this performance wasn’t just musically beautiful but the energy was powerful and captivating … I miss this in music today…
Whew wee!!! Goosebumps on my entire body! 🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 all of them so naturally beautiful and singing the hell out of this song! This is easily one of the best songs and voices I’ve ever heard in my life! ❤
Tik Tok introduced me to them, and now I’m doing my research! WOW!Their beauty,voices,class, speaking voice in interviews, bodies, natural sex appeal! Just simply everything😍 Porsha from housewives,favors (Sheila Ferguson) The one that lead the beginning of the song!
I found this yesterday and have not been able to STOP it. It's the haunting bassline, the beautiful allure of the main singer, how they play off of each other vocally... The somberness, forlorn. Being too avalaiable because of love... Imploring him to come visit where love was found. A slave to a love that is okay waiting, but doesn't want to. The images and emotions it conjurs within me is on a whole different level.
been playning on repeat for hours now! And I was 20 minutes ago old, after listening to it for hours on the same song I'm just now realizing it says please please please pleeeaze🧐
The best thing for me in this video is each woman is standing in her own power. Then the powers blend well. I LOVE IT. Watched more times than I can count.
Let me tell you all! I have cried real tears on this day Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 6:47 PM in New Jersey North America United States ! When I tell you all that I have many songs that I do love, but none can compare to what this song has done to me on this day! Sending love and light into the universe to all the beautiful people beautiful souls!🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🔥💖💝💘💓💗💞💕♥️❣️😘😍🥰🥰😻🏩🏩💒🫀
Stayed on the record player when I was growing up. My daddy always said they weren't fully appreciated. Totally slept on! Well I've never forgotten.These Queens were the best at their craft....THE BEST!
Yes, how are they orchestrating such power? They sound like a full choir. Clearly, talent, skill, blessings, divine favor, ancient mysteries....😂 Just exquisite.
It's definitely giving ancient mysteries! Because why do they sound like beautiful sirens from the stories of old. I wish I could go back in time and dance to this performance 😊❤
I’m so captivated by this performance. How have I never come across? I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it…just pure class, talent and perfection. Period.
As much as The Supremes were definitely an inspiration for “Dreamgirls”, there’s no denying that The Three Degrees absolutely were also an influence. I see The Dreams all throughout this performance. The wigs, the make up, the gowns, the voices… my God! Simply perfection… ❤
This classy, glamorous asthetic..🤩 I'm going for this look and feel the next time I get dressed to go out. Bring back elegance. The nails..the hair...the makeup...I love it!
Ok I’m 44 years old, and just learned about this group today! They SLID on this!!!!! The look, the vocals, the choreography, the freakin trumpet, the soulfulness! 😳😲😲
I've been listening to this song for about 2 months now and I can't stop. It's on my playlist and I cant listen to the other songs because I keep restarting this song. I wish we could go back to music like this. They are singing separately and together at the same time. I would have paid what ever to have seen this performance in person.
Just listen to this in its entirety.... I can not stop. And let someone else say that magic does not exist. These three women created something so incredible that I had never seen or heard anything like it before.
I heard many many soul joints but this is just on another level. The singing. The harmonization, the body movements. The stage presence. The music behind them.
My daughter who is 27 years old sent this song to me from Instagram. She really knows my taste in music and I am glad I was able to teach her to appreciate music like this.
At about 3:05 when they all closed their eyes they actually transformed and raised their already great and powerful singing up another level. They are unmatched. Amazing voices, chemistry, movement, just pure class and elegance. God truly blessed them truly.
I feel like the crowd was actually mesmerized more than anything. If were appreciating this now, I can only imagine being there in the momemt and all of them are beautiful and sound amazing vocally
Literally obsessed with this performance , a masterpiece caught in time . Entranced with the live arrangement and the girls flawless vocals and harmonies . ❤ exceptional girl group
I was 15 back in 1974,early teenage crushes,these beautiful ladies not only looked good but sound so divine,all these years later still love my oldies but goodies 👏🏽👏🏽
This was in 1974...a year after my birth...AND TODAY IS THE VERY FIRST TIME I'M HEARING THIS SONG...lowkey mad at myself, but hey...better late than never!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful in every aspect from the appearance to the performance and importantly for the vocals , I've seen a clip of an interview of them they seemed intelligent , elegant , as well as an feminine strength that made you respect them as women
I have heard a lot of girl groups from this era, before, and now..... The Three Degrees have such a harmony entuned with one other. Absolutely beautiful and marvelous!!!!

It’s a great thing appreciation doesn’t affect how magical this is.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥
The Dresses. The Hair. The Nails. The Harmonies. The Drama Of It All. It Just Doesn’t Get Any Better.
You are so right! The groups today don't put in the same effort! Of course there are a few.
Their UNISONS were electronic!
I loved the polyphonic sections.
And the gold pinky ring 💅🏻
Y'ALL BETTER SANNNNGGGGG!!!! 💖💖💖🔥💖💖💖🎉🎉🎉🎉 Whew I got chills! Then my eyes filled with water. 😪 And ahhhh the beauty, the class, the natural and powerful vocal abilities -- this was absolutely sublime!

Agreed. The recording is fine but this live performance blows it out of the water.
I've listened to it about 100 times since it popped up on youtube
Wooooooow!
That's how I feel about everything from my era (80's) & is now found/ uploaded to UA-cam. It's amazing!
🤍
Who else is here because Instagram!!!!
What a powerful song...
🙋🏿♀️
I wholeheartedly agree ❤
Facebook*
Definitely me!!!
Meeeeee 🙌🏾
This has officially become one of my favorite songs of all time.
My daughter sent it to me from Instagram and I fell in love.
I see why Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) and his friends kept screaming "We Want the Three Degrees" on Sanford & Son 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥. Seriously, this is worth watching over and over!
Lol
I didn't even know they were a real singing group
Till I came across this video 😂😂🎉❤
No one is trying to out shine or over sing anyone.
That's why we're able to appreciate their talents individually and even as a group.
I honestly cannot get over this performance. ❤
Me either! Amazing how it all just came together like that
Facts ❤❤❤
Honestly no one had to out sang each other because they were all on the same level
I'm hooked and addicted
Exactly its such a rarity to let everyone such live in their authenticity and SANG!
Valerie's "Looooonelineeeeeeess, loneliNEEEEEESSSSS" was so perfect. 😢
Sent chills through me
I love this comment ❤
Yes!
Yesss it made me cry chile!!
Goosebumps everytime
I love how Tik tok is putting people on to Music from the 70’s and giving this group the flowers they deserve. Now back to rewatch this for like the 100th time
Completely agree. I can't believe I had never heard of them before
Same! I watch this at least once a day! Unsung Sheroes!
Exactly.
Well said!
CHURCH!!
i try my hardest to avoid this song cause i knew if i listen to it i will repeat it atleast 20 times before i finally move on
Blacknificent!!!! I think the people in the audience were just mesmerized. I can really hear them individually and together. OMG.
I can't stop listening to this.. Beautiful 2024
Here!!!
I can't stop either
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤on repeat!
Me too. I have it on repeat.
✅️✅️✅️✅️✅️
Notice how soon as they sing heart broken into pieces they sing individually as if broken apart 2:48
I caught that!!!!!!! Flawless!!!
Real artistry
Wow that's a good catch!!
Polyphony is what it’s called 😊
That part gives me chills!🔥🔥🔥
The fact you can hear all 3 clearly is amazing. Real talent and skill here.
I LOVE HOW THE AUDIENCE SHUT UP AND ALLOWED EVERY SINGLE VOCAL NUISANCE TO BE HEARD! That is the utmost respect.
The golden age of live recordings.
Please my people, let’s get back to this kind of elegance in our musical culture.
YES!! Last time we had it? En Vogue, early 90s.
I play this version of this song at least 3 times a day ever since I found it last month
This is PURE Gold. A masterpiece. Perfection!
I love when the beautiful lady on the right hit that soft high note at 4:30 and just hold it.
Yes, I wish they'd given her more camera time cause I wanted to see her singing too to get her performance
@@sincerejones364right… every soft note in the song is her. It make me want to find each time she did it like it’s a puzzle. The camera helps
@@omoyeleRman I’ve watched this about twenty times trying to catch her soft notes.
The comment I was looking for. Fayette hit that beautiful soft falsetto after sanging in the bottom the majority of the song. Beautiful shows beautiful range.
Yes Fayette’s high notes were flawless and phenomenal!!
I can't get over how much I love this song!
1974...The year I graduated H.S., I was 17...today I am 67...seems like I blinked and 50 years has passed...wasn't it only yesterday??..
Life is short I Know what you are talking about trust me.
The mics were on. The rent was due!! This was pure soul and emotion. @4:09 The way valerie crecendo into still be around ! They did what needed to be done. These harmonies alone will put you in a trance.
Hell to the yeah, those mic were HOT!!!!
That’s my favorite part!❤
Man WHAT!! I Felt That 😭
Goosebumps listening to that part ❤
The musicality of their voices. Extremely soulful and emotionally charging, whew!
Now this is music. They sound like absolute angels.🥹♥️🥹

It's a beautiful song if and when
Tell me about it...
I did the exact same when I first heard it about 2 years ago!

I randomly channeled this song today in my psyche and was led to UA-cam to hear it… this performance wasn’t just musically beautiful but the energy was powerful and captivating … I miss this in music today…

@@aaronmeece8658right! Otherworldly
Tik Tok introduced me to them, and now I’m doing my research! WOW!Their beauty,voices,class, speaking voice in interviews, bodies, natural sex appeal! Just simply everything😍 Porsha from housewives,favors (Sheila Ferguson) The one that lead the beginning of the song!
This was the golden era of music
From a very reliable source… They killed this song every time they performed it live… Every single time!
Thanks Instagram for putting me on to these amazing ladies. 2024 and I think this the 1st time hearing this group😮😮😮😮😮
Sheila Ferguson is one of the most beautiful women in the world to me!!
HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY SO BEAUTIFUL???????
Fr!
All my angels!

if I were in that audience I would have fainted out of my seat and never recovered.
The best thing for me in this video is each woman is standing in her own power. Then the powers blend well. I LOVE IT. Watched more times than I can count.
I feel like I'm being entranced and serenaded by the most soulful sirens ever. Listening to those harmonies has been a heavenly experience.
Let me tell you all! I have cried real tears on this day Thursday, January 25, 2024 at 6:47 PM in New Jersey North America United States ! When I tell you all that I have many songs that I do love, but none can compare to what this song has done to me on this day! Sending love and light into the universe to all the beautiful people beautiful souls!🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜❤️🔥💖💝💘💓💗💞💕♥️❣️😘😍🥰🥰😻🏩🏩💒🫀
When I listen to these musicians and music, I am thinking, where has all the music gone today. 😢
2:07 The ferocity behind that "She..." is just mindbending.
Opulence in it's purest form. They are so beautiful it's not even fair!
Imagine if Beyonce did a album like this or at least a song
I was in my Sleep last night, hearing this... Got up at 3am just to listen to it again...🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song still gives me chills!
i remember my grandma playing this while we were driving hours back & forth to see my sick grandpa (r. i . p) 🙏🏿💘 this is a gem
I am so very sorry for your loss, I too lost my grandma in 2023 my grandma put me on to this master piece. I love this song so damn much .❤❤❤❤
🎶Still be around...🎶
Whew ❤❤
That was truly better than anything that Diana Ross and The Supremes could have ever done
They really were. Never understood how Diane is so famous. She couldn't sing worth a penny.
i seriously get choked up listening to this...hits me in all the feels!
Stayed on the record player when I was growing up. My daddy always said they weren't fully appreciated. Totally slept on! Well I've never forgotten.These Queens were the best at their craft....THE BEST!
This is so much better than the album version

All 17 of them can sang!!! What?! There's only 3?!?!
This classy, glamorous asthetic..🤩 I'm going for this look and feel the next time I get dressed to go out. Bring back elegance. The nails..the hair...the makeup...I love it!
Each and every single minute of this performance is an extraordinary moment.
Can't believe this song is not well known. It's amazing.
This live version is better than the album version imo
Ok I’m 44 years old, and just learned about this group today! They SLID on this!!!!! The look, the vocals, the choreography, the freakin trumpet, the soulfulness! 😳😲😲
I love the build up towards the end! And the trumpets 🎺 thun thun thun thun it's my favorite part of this song
Oh they SANG this song! Just all of THAT! Beautiful ladies ❤
My first time hearing this song in 2024, thanks to Instagram. I wish there was a way to tell them how much I appreciate and love this performance.
I come here every night to listen to this song before I go to sleep.
That "come on back to me" at 04:25 I'm literally in a trance. So enchanting.
❤
3:16!!!

These ladies were actually 27 years old at the time of this performance!
How can voices be that perfect singing live? Wow! And they move like a river, like fluid 😮😊
At about 3:05 when they all closed their eyes they actually transformed and raised their already great and powerful singing up another level. They are unmatched. Amazing voices, chemistry, movement, just pure class and elegance. God truly blessed them truly.
The passion , the elegance , the soul produced by these Queens is on a whole another level it's a shame I didn't hear this song till now
Facts✅️✅️✅️✅️✅️
One of the best live performances of all time---- the gorgeous looks, the emotions, and the vocals!!!!
I have never heard of this group. Saw a clip on Instagram and had to come here. They sound incredible! Please bring back real singing!
This performance is flawless!! their beauty, elegance, stage presence is untouched!!
THIS IS HOW YOU SING DAMNIT. THESE THEM WOMEN !!!!!!
The change that happens from minute 3 to the end is simply mindblowing.
Amazing❤❤❤
I feel like the crowd was actually mesmerized more than anything. If were appreciating this now, I can only imagine being there in the momemt and all of them are beautiful and sound amazing vocally
I think I have played this almost all day over and over. Can't keep 👀 off the screen.
I love the horns. They are mixed in a beautifully live way that allows the listener to easily distinguish each instrument.
Literally obsessed with this performance , a masterpiece caught in time . Entranced with the live arrangement and the girls flawless vocals and harmonies . ❤ exceptional girl group

This is so incredibly well sang.
This is just amazing. I am wonderstruck by how they sing three different lyrics harmoniously.
