Three Degrees - When will I see you again 1973

[QbanSamurai]

I was 10 years old and I played the grooves off this record. My sister had had it by the first week. While all the other boys were listening to hard rock this is what I retreated to. I still can't believe my parents couldn't tell I was a baby homo.

[missjunie55]

1973, the year I graduated high school...I have always loved this song. It brings back happy memories and just hearing this song brings a happy smile to my face. The singing, harmony, music...all of it makes me want to get up and dance.

[kaseydashing]

cant hardly wait lol

[woodchucko]

Earliest AM radio memories for...forgot how emotional this song really is especially the AAWW Ooo's at the beginning and the break, they are so perfectly timed!

[davco007]

I was on board ship in 1975 after we evacuated Phnom Pyn cambodia and Saigon vetnam I heard this most beautiful song and it made me so sad after whatr we had done in veitnam. We let them down terrifly.

[nealadams70]

My auntie Wilomina asked my Uncle Raybert that same question in 1975..when they was hauling him off to jail for slugging that fat woman in the supermarket...good music bring backs the memories

Hey! This is HOT!!! These soul songbirds have are really singing this and not pantomiming it like many shows use to set the talent up for. ooooo weeee good.

DAY UM, the message is clear and this sounds so good!!

Another timeless piece to be ever so grateful for.

[bettyboop59able1]

Oldie but love this song ! Love found and lost :-( miss my tit in rusty tin xxxxxx

[thesoulcrew1]

sheila ferguson was gorgeous . natural beauty mmmmm x

[randyross]

who was in lead vocals here

[amerocker]

@randyross I think she's Sheila Ferguson, with Valerie Holiday and Helen Scott. They had many line-ups.

[branchg]

@amerocker It was Shelia Ferguson on lead vocals with Valerie Holiday and Fayette Pickney. This is the classic lineup of the group that sung all of their major hits in the mid-70s. Fayette left in 1976 to focus on her education and was replaced by Helen Scott, who was an original member back in the 60's along with Fayette. Valerie was recruited to join in 1967 and Shelia left in 1986 to go solo.

Today, the group continues with Valerie Holiday and Helen Scott performing.

[BSGbarberkris]

yummy!!!!

[ericebryan]

The way the lead singer chews her words, very expressive.

[ericebryan]

Lovely live or at least prerecorded vocals, especially the ending section of the lead vocal. Sweet and expressive and lovely.

あなたは我々がお互いに会った最後の日にこの歌を覚えていますか­？

私はあなたに私がいつ再びあなたに会うであろうか尋ねましたか？

あなたはそれが私の大好きな歌であったと答えました。 リトル１

世はそれが予言的であったことを知っていました。

あなたはさようならを言わないで私を置き残しました。

その時から生活は寂しいです。

私はいつ再びあなたに会うでしょうか？

[MzKarmel601]

Regretably - the MANISH pantsuits were the "Gucci" of the day!

[mistermisterxx]

@MzKarmel601

Need to go check your dictionary - it's "MANNISH" with two m's.

[K3KCT]

@mistermisterxx Sorry, buddy - I can't resist. 'Two m's'? Need to go back to school - the letter 'N' appears twice in Mannish. Also; you have the apostrophe in the wrong place - where you have placed it would mean it takes the place of a missing letter or it belongs to 'm', both of which would make no-sense... Come to think of it...

Now, write it out a hundred times - if it's not done by sunrise I'll cut your balls off.

[khoocheepeng]

the best 

[rogershearman]

Always dedicated to my great  and lovely wife sally wish i could go back 4 years too late now ???

[jrushmen]

They're angels just dressed casual !

[saintben2008]

Sorry, but this was just all wrong. You can tell the outfits had and afffect on their performance.

[ozonatedman]

almost got a boner from this, absolute classic.

[lucamoviemaker]

i'm here because of Bill. This is his favourite soul song from the 70's.

[joesophie90]

1974 not 1973

[jrushmen]

I remember as a young kid staying up late night to watch the late show with Boston's Frank Abrucsh. He used this song as the closing sequence of his show.........Priceless !

[Rayray17325215886]

god....ilovehervoice<3

[mistermisterxx]

Whoever was the stylist on this video should have been shot for putting The Three Degrees in those ugly mannish suits!

To see how it's done right, search for the YouTube video of this song with 988,000+ views which shows off The Three Degrees to beautiful classy perfection (and what an innovative 360 degree circling shot throughout the song, with the ladies just imperceptibly leading the camera! - never seen that done before).

[choosing2lookeast]

@mistermisterxx No way! those pantsuits were elegant. Much better than the slutty outfits the singers of today wear

[mistermisterxx]

@choosing2lookeast

Well, I do agree with your comment about the "slutty outfits" of today, but you've got to check out the YouTube video with The Three Degrees in elegant evening wear doing this song with a full orchestra while slowly rotating 360 degrees on barstool chairs in a concert club setting.

Now, THAT'S what they should always be wearing!

[soling52]

Will forever remind me of happy holidays at Mallorca ......

[stratovani]

Somehow I always hoped that Beyonce and Destiny's Child would cover this song. It would fit them to a tee!

[RexConCueso]

@stratovani

those bitchez can't sing, or harmonize - - they woulda' used an autotuner.

[heythom]

@RexConCueso ur an idiot



[inaneczar]

is like prom! !

[kwixotic]

And to think I thought the singers were a white British group! It maybe because I had just arrived in London when I heard it.

[kuwinsitall]

The one in white is a stone cold fox.

[mssquirrely]

omg! I hate to tell me age BUT!!! this was my JAM as a child......LOL!

[Brad81980]

This is REAL msic NOT the crap we hear on the radio today. OLDIES LIVES ON FOREVER. ..... I wait to hear music brought back to meaning as it was back then .

[HHH100]

@Brad81980 Unfortunately, I really doubt real music will return. See there is a dumb-ing down of the population occurring. Worse is the fact that it is on purpose. To add to that, is another fact that immorality & anger is promoted at the same time. So until Hollywood and government is cleared of progressive liberals (democrats)? We are stuck in despair. See - votes do count in more ways than you can imagine. And I don't have to tell you that years ago blacks were TRUE Christians.

[jayj36]

naaa i didnt like this version at all i love the way they sing it originally

[stimpp]

never noticed the whole song is questions. i did notice that it is a beautiful melody and catchy as hell.

[kiatularn]

BRAVO !!!

[sitaw28]

i'm 20 y.o right now...and i love old songs like in 60's or 70's.....it's maybe because i'm an old soul :-p

[fdlkfoo]

One of the best female groups ever.

[salstream]

one of them is dead now.. think her name was pilkinton..

[raremark]

Beauty, talent and class. These ladies are superb in every way. Today's female performers could learn a thing or two from them.

[minoeke7]

@raremark yes you are so right but not only from them also from diana ross and the supremes or sister sledge. i'm now 46 so i grew up with that music and i love it, but the music i like the most is from michael jackson the jacksons and the jackson 5. i'm a die-hard-fan from them and i never thought michael was guilty on abusing children. he loved them only and wanted to give them what he missed in his youth: a good childhood! he was acting like a mother would do with her children

[bellachelito]

@minoeke7 I am 2 years older than you and agree with your statements 100%. Actually I think it was The Supremes who changed forever the image of the girl groups and 3 Degrees, Sister Sledge, etc. followed their lead. In reference to the Jacksons I remember skipping school in Chicago and taking the Greyhoud to Gary, Indiana because I wanted to meet them. Of course it didn't happen but it was a great adventure and I love them and the music until today.

[minoeke7]

@bellachelito my big whish was to see michael just for once life on concert, he was 3 times in the netherlands, with the bad tour, the history-tour and the dangerous-tour but my whish never came true. the first 2 where sold out but when he did the dangeroustour there where some tickets so i wanted to go but my ex didn't want me to go aloneb/c of my epileption. i asked him to come wth me but he said no that's no music. i asked my friends but they all had to work i was furious to him.

[minoeke7]

@bellachelito i told him it would be the last chance i had, not knowing how right i was. it was like i felt it that michael would never give concerts annymore and i cryed verry much when mike was gone. i was verry shocked and couldn't believe it. i played every day you are not alone and cryed when i saw the clip with the wings

[bille1131]

@Kabinks Thanks Boo Boo!

[Alpenludder]

[Vameon]
