An INSANELY good song, sung to perfection by a group that combined vocals with soul like no other female group out there. Kudos to Jimmy Webb for writing this, and further props to the Three Degrees for singing the hell out of it!
I'm NUTS about this song!! Went crazy hearing it when I first saw "The French Connection" movie . . . THESE CHICKS ARE BETTER THAN DIANA ROSS & THE SUPREMES! ! ! Rock on, Three Degrees!!!!!
@pet1215221 ~ AMEN! They are fabulous! I saw Diana & the Supremes at the Royal Box, in Manhattan, when I was a teenager, and the Three Degrees, in a similar setting in "The French Connection," are waaaaaaaay better!
Maybe because I'm a bit older I feel like I'm not allowed to give an opinion so I feel a bit embarrassed to say that actually that this performance was perfection! xxxxx
Great performance, you can tell they all enjoyed themselves, wish I'd have been there, all three could certainly sing and the conversation bits are good too, just wish it could have been film of them instead of still pictures............
This picture is from the inside fold of their 1973 album "Three Degrees" On the outside cover they are dressed in red or yellow with a sort of turban and standing among shimmery curtains. The picture is actually full length and the bottom is also see-thru; however the sequins and beads are strategically placed.
Look at the text to the right of the video window above and below the date I posted the video on YTube you will see a link that says '(more info)' click this and it expands the notes in full, then you will see the links to the front, back and inside covers of the album to which I think you are referring in your post
The Three Degrees - MacArthur Park 1975 and other videos, you will see them performing in very similar outfits as the one here, and they are not see through.
Have to admit that the photos do appear fake Xpinger, my friend.
When you look at one the girl's bottom, she has wrinkles in her pants. This makes it appear that they were wearing a full body garment, not see through, and the photo was tampered with.
as far as i know the pic is genuine from an album of theirs; i have updated the side-panel notes on my video to include web-links to the front, back and inside covers of the album; you decide for yourself :)

Did you find it? I've been searching also, it was written by Jimmy Webb, originally done by Thelma Houston her "Sunshower" album. It's completely off the radar as far as I can tell.
Did I hear that right? - "It's customary in songs like this to use words like 'Wooooooooo'?"
If so - YES!!!! Excellent!

@92af If you are referring to some porn movie with the title "French Connection" I haven't seen it and won't comment on that stuff.
The Gene Hackman thing wasn't that great. I prefer "Bullit"

Great song! Can't find it on any CDs.
I'm guessing that whoever was responsible for their publicity shots was a guy.
Thanks for uploading.

Joey Heatherton had a front album cover where she is t clearly otally topless, showing everything.
On the Three Degrees, album, it is difficult to say whether the photos, even if they were on the album , were fake (retouched) or not.

At 0:56, the one in the middle is so fit.

You know with photoshop, it is easy to create nipples or anything else on them.
It could easily be nipples from a redneck lumberjack superimposed on them.
000266617 2 years ago
I don't think that's photoshop. I believe that's the original inside photo from their 1973 or '74 album.

@michaellengyel I just searched and looked through the Three Degrees album covers, and I see no such cover.
Furthermore, there is nothing on this You Tube photo above to show that it is an album cover.

The see-through "boobs" photo is a fake - right?
Although looking at the girls clothed, the proportions look right.
The faces look superimposed, especially Fayette.
