The Three Degrees

The Three Degrees were a all female Soul singing trio that has included Fayette Pinkney (1963-1976), Linda Turner (1963), Shirley Poole (1963), Helen Scott (1963-1966, 1976-present), Janet Harmon (1963-1967), Sheila Ferguson (1966-1986), Valerie Holiday (1967-present), Vera Brown (1986-1987), Rhea Harris (1987-1988), Victoria Wallace (1988-1989), and Cynthia Garrison (1989-present).
They were regulars on all sorts of light entertainment shows throughout the 70's and 80's, they were also Prince Charles' favourite group, and if you saw the cleavage on Sheila, you'd understand why.

The first 4 show the girls together, the next 3 show Sheila.

Sorry about the watermarks.

My first post, hope this works and is appropriate..

"When Will I See You Again" was the song that made them famous. It went to number one all over the world, won the 3rd annual Tokyo Music Festival in Japan and had them in constant demand performing in front of full houses all over Europe. "Dirty Ol' Man" (one of my favourites) did not do much in the U.S but went it gold in Holland and Belgium and was also banned in the UK by the BBC!! (What do they know huh!!)

"When Will I See You Again"

"Dirty 'Ol Man"

"Dirty 'Ol Man" (version 2)

Useless Info: They performed at Buckingham Palace for Prince Charles's 30th Birthday Party and were guests at his pre-wedding party to Princess Diana.

I would have been 14 when I bought my first Three Degrees album with the open out photo, The girls in see through chiffon dress... I kept that under my bed for years...

Saw them in a four band gig in Nottingham last year along with The Drifters, Temptations and The four Tops.... Most of the originals had either passed on or out to pasture, Would of loved to see Sheila Ferguson in there but only remaining Degree is Valerie Holiday, They were brilliant as were members and the other bands...
