It no longer matters who the girls were in the original line-up as they were together less than a year. The follow up line-up (which included Helen) was together less than three years. However, Fayette was in the group from the start, and it wasn't until Sheila, and then Valerie joined her that the Three Degrees became international stars. They may not be the original line-up, but they are the Classic line-up. Valerie is the only member left from this line up.
Regardless of what the line up of the girls wereor are. The fact remains that they came to be known worldwide with their hits Dirty Ole' Man, Take Good care of Yourself, When Will I see you again etc etc etc. With the line up of Sheila Ferguson, Valerie Holiday and Fayette Pinkney and that's all that matters because before that they were marginally known.
Helen Scott was in the Three Degrees before Sheila Ferguson and Valerie Holiday she left in 1966 she was in the second line up with Fayette Pinkney who she replaced again in 1976. Cynthia Garrison is the replacement for Sheila since 1989 so one way or another Helen and Valerie are the link to the past here so dont be so disrespectful - they are great singers witj charm and charisma 40 years on !!
only the lead singer sang on the original(valerie) and she sand the second verse as sheila fergerson sang most of the lead. None of these are the original line up. valerie and sheila wasnt even part of the original. but valerie sheila and fayette pinkney sang on this hit.
the original line up, if you refer to the period BEFORE valerie, sheila & fayette, was only a come and go of girls. valerie, sheila & fayette were together from 1967 until 1976. THAN helen came back and she's in the group until TODAY ! sheila left in 1986 and was replaced by cynthia (she's the one in the clip) since 1989 until TODAY. so the group is NOT CHANGED since 20 years; who are the originals, you could ask yourself... !!!
@blkshepherd The question is who arethe originals that people remembered.Thats Valarie Shelia and Fayette, before that nobody even knew who they were!

The greatest thing is they sing live. Most time artist only playback, even old artists.
