  • Always loved, always respected, never forgotten. I will miss you forever my dear Friend of 35 wonderful years. RIP Dearest Faye xxxx

  • As a little Japanese kid, The Three Degrees were the first female Afro-American entertainers to see. I was very impressed and adored their singing and their beautiful looks . They were the best known and popular black women in Japan at that time . Thank you Ms Pinkney for great entertainment. you did a great job spreading good images all over the world!

  • Being a long time fan of THE THREE DEGREES, i will cherish what they accomplished as 3 black perfomers, there style, there beauty and there well mannered polished stage presents on or off stage. Am very delighted that Fayette was part of all that and made us fans sing along to there records when they were released. She will deeply be missed and lots of love goes out to the fans for the videos to watch on YouTube with Fayette. Thanks for the memories girrrlfriend. A THREE DEGREE FOREVER.......RIP

  • Within every group we have our favorite. Fayette was my favorite, although i loved the group as a whole. They were so talented, it was ashamed they did not find the same fame as the supremes.
