Three Degrees-Dirty Ol' Man (holland)

In 1973, with their contract with Roulette Records ending, Barrett signed them to Philadelphia International Records under Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, where they were to have their greatest successes. They also made an appearance on the Television program, Sanford and Son, singing their song "I Didn't Know." The first song they recorded there was with the studio band MFSB, entitled "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" which was the theme song for Soul Train. Altogether, The Three Degrees recorded four albums for that label.

The first album spawned three hits. "DIRTY OL' MAN" went gold in the Netherlands and Belgium. The second single was "YEAR OF DECISION" which made it to the Top 20 in the UK Singles Chart. Their third single "WHEN WILL I SEE YOU AGAIN" was the one that broke the trio into the mainstream. It topped the UK Chart and sold over two million discs to earn the trio a gold record. The R.I.A.A. made the award on 9 December 1974.

In 1993, they were asked to record new versions of "Dirty Ol' Man" and "When Will I See You Again" with Thomas Anders (Modern Talking). He supplied three tracks for their album "Out The Past Into The Future", marking their return to Ariola Records and their most successful and musically varied album for 15 years.
