The Three Degrees performing "We're All Alone" form their "Standing Up For Love" album in 1977. From left to right is Helen Scott, Sheila Ferguson, and Valerie Holiday.
@SpazChat Yes. THE SUPREMES were more successful.....but, the Three Degrees were better singers....individually and collectively....and, that, ofcourse is my opinion. I love the Supremes....they are my favs. But, still, the Three Degrees shine. Success isn't always determined by hit records. Especially considering the longevity of the 3 Degrees......still together and as popular (if not more) than ever! And, yes, Gordy screwed up the Supremes tight harmonies. But, what's done is done!
@proverbs1824 , Berry Gordy screwed up Diana Ross and the Supremes by not letting them shine with their harmonies, which they were quite good at, but didn't get a chance to use that much. The Supremes are more successful than this group
The Three Degrees could and did sing anything and have it come out right. Perfect pitch; perfect harmony! The Degrees are the Cream of the Crop! I don't care what anybody says: The Three Degrees outshine all the girl groups including the Supremes (and I love the Supremes). But, hey, the truth is the truth....A Toast of Love to Helen, Sheila, and Valerie!
