When you hear the name The Three Degrees, you immediately think of their most famous song, ‘When Will I See You Again’.
True, ‘When Will I See You Again’ was a major hit record throughout the world, topping the chart in the USA, UK, Japan, and most European countries, earning the trio every conceivable accolade at the time – not to mention enough Gold records to make Fort Knox a little envious!
More than five decades on, the threesome has retained their precise vocal qualities, and, in between, they have amassed an impressive list of hit records.
In 1972 they joinedPhiladelphia International Recordsand hit the charts with ‘Dirty Ol’ Man’. Soon after came ‘The Sound of Philadelphia’, and the following year their biggest hit ‘When Will I See You Again’.
During their three years with Philadelphia International, they enjoyed great success and a string of hits. It was during this era that the threesome made their biggest forward strides.
King Charles III(then Prince Charles) publicly acclaimed The Three Degrees as his favourite group, earning them the moniker Charlie’s Angels!
In 1978 they teamed up with Giorgio Moroder (of Donna Summer fame) and a new string of hits followed, including ‘Giving Up, Giving In’, ‘My Simple Heart’, ‘The Runner’, and the ballad ‘Woman In Love’.
The Three Degrees still hold claim to being the longest-running female vocal group in history, and they show no signs of slowing down!
