    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.

    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 UA-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 ???

    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!

      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!

    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.

    Does anyone have a link to, or copy of, the Three Degrees documentary on Unsung (I think)? I can't find it and would love to see it! Thank you
