Two great appearances by the Girls on BBC TV last night. Firstly, a familiar clip from Top of the Pops Christmas Special 1974 shown to celebrate the final ever show of that iconic British music programme - and then followed by a retrospect of the same Show with a great clip from August 1974 when the Ladies were No.1 in the Charts with When Will I See You Again filmed during the Osmonds week-long residency as hosts of the Show! Total class and glamour - it doesn't get any better than this!!!

Does anyone know the set-list from the Three Degrees television show for the BBc 'Take Three Degrees'.

Also can anyone tell me why Fayette left and why Sheila left. I heard Fayette left to get married and Sheila left to raise her children.

Many thanks

Supremesoul - both ladies had their own reasons for leaving; perhaps this isnt't the place to discuss these things but let me just say that Fayette is doing extremely well in Philadelphia and Sheila has been living here in England for many years and seems very happy too!

As for the setlist of "Take Three Degrees", bear with us and someone will get back to you on that one! If you need any more information, go to ;

www.thethreedegrees.com

There is a forum there where many people, past and present, post lots of information you may be interested in! Theres also a section where Fayette explains exactly what shes been up to since leaving the Group - enjoy!!!

I saw and spoke with Helene, Monday back-stage at The Dell in Philadelphia, at The Whispers and Russell Thompkins & The New Stylistics Show.
Helene was aware of Mr. Barrette's poor health condition. We also spoke briefly about the radio show interview in the very near future and Vocal Group Hall Of Fame.
I hope to speak again to Helene when she returns from Japan. Will up-date you all about the radio show interview after we set-up a date to do so.

Fans, as you know, Higher and Higher (Jackie Wilson)is the ladies show opener in Belgium and probably in other countries too. I love the original ! Here's a link to Jackie's video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =qL2_zhLs_T4

A funny thing in the video: three little birds... lol.

I remember when Richard Barrett would introduce Fayette, Sheila and Valerie.." The Whispering Angels of Song...the Pride of Philadelphia..." ; his genius was also the Pride of Philadelphia and now he can sit with more Angels of Song - RIP to a true musical legend and to the man who gave us a Group that to this day enchants and entertains us - that is some legacy!

H.I.M - nice pic from '75 there - and a great choice of song too! For me, its a combination of my 2 musical greats - the Girls and Billy Joel, who I recently saw in concert in London after waiting nearly 30 years - and believe me, it was worth the wait...the man is awesome!!! As you know, there is a thread trying to get unreleased PIR stuff out...maybe CBS/Sony would be interested in doing an unreleased compilation of Three Degrees material, including the Japanese tracks a few of us already have - any ideas???

Hello guys in Europe, I've seen the 3 Degrees shows this week, which were so fabulous and cool as ever. I will go to see other lives in Tokyo next week.
In these two years they sang four kinds of long medleys (Diva, Marvin Gaye, EW&F and Philly medley) in turn here. It was "Philly" that they did on this tour.
They sometimes perform a short medley on Ariola, consists of "My Simple Heart","Giving Up, Giving In" and "The Runner". They did it this time too, but they cut out "The Runner" from the Ariola medley. "The Runner" became a little longer and had intense steps.

Helen always teaches us the choreography before they sing "WWISYA". All the people in the hall enjoy it, waving his right hand first(Wooo...) and left hand(haaa...). I like it. You do the same over there?

Don't you hate it too!!
I'd wish any of the ladies were a little more informative and outgoing towards us. Especially on their own site.
Not everyone has the oportunety(?) to stay in touch and stay informed.
Valerie gives most of the messages every now and again.
Cynthia,Helen and Valerie as well. speak out.
I'd love to hear more about what's going on in your lives, being a fan over 20 years.
Suggestions, anyone?

Regarding the Group's website; I have it on very good authority thats it's down due to a technical glitch; no need to panic everyone, its being fixed and will be back, up and running again as soon as possible! Hope that puts all your minds at rest!

wonderfull that's all i can say about the ' be my baby' documentary....i liked the Supremes and Three Degrees story very much, and have you seen how goodlooking these women still are...Seeing Valerie and Sheila in the interview, brougt back the memories we have of the Three Degrees...can't help it! but it would have been wonderfull to see Helen and Fayette also doing their thing! after all they were there in the beginning.
I loved the way they presented the Degrees and the video footage they showed...
Girls you have written history in the music books...thanks ! JP

Here i am,

I agree. The 'Be My Baby' documentary was great. I loved the Supremes, but especially the Three Degrees story.
Wow, Valerie en Sheila; you still look so good. You are great ladies!
But I also missed original ladies Helen & Fayette.
They had to be in this documentary too!

Mel - thanks alot! We all appreciate that!

Loved seeing the Girls on British TV last night - great interviews, wonderful clips and stills - and beautiful women!!! I did miss hearing from Fayette and Helen too...sometimes the research into these programmes is not as good as it could be, especially as the BBC went over to Philly to speak to Bobby Eli. One fault though, amongst many pluses!!!

Mel - You are most welcome mate; you'll find us one big Three Degrees family here - some of us have known each other for more than 30 years now! Good to hear from you - and keep in touch, either here or on the Girls' forum on their website!

Jeremy.

Mel - no problem! The Girls' website is down at the moment, but I have it on good authority it will be up and running again soon! Here's a vintage 1979 shot from the Valerie, Helen and Sheila era!

It never changes, that main page photo is about 10 years old, there is never no news, the only page that gets an update is the tour page and its always Holland, Japan, Germany or some other far away destination, whoever the web master is, is obviously the wrong person to do the job, now by no means am I blaming the girls as I know what a hectic schedule they have while touring, but you look at any pop groups web page and it updates regularly, maybe Im just bored at looking at the same page.

DegreeOfLove - Perhaps you could voice your opinions to the Webmaster himself. I am sure he would be very interested in your comments and would certainly take them on board. Nothing is going to be achieved by complaining on a Forum such as this; the only way is to address your concerns to the relevant Party/ies, then perhaps certain things would be amended to your satisfaction.

Oh yezzz, I forgot: a fabu live performance from their tour in 1977 in Japan: the medley contains two songs. a) People With Feelings (a song song from their LP Standing Up For Love b) Feelings (orig. from Morris Albert, a classic song. In between you can see a beautiful slideshow with different pictures of the ladies during that time. NICE ! Many thanks for the Japanese guy who made that available !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =s4WSdRzQVb8

And a correction for the Matrixx pictures : ofcourse it's 29th september.

I have it on 12" with two mixes that were not on the CD "Classic Piano Mix" and "Bass And Pad Mix" shame the album it came from did not get released in the UK and it should have done more, but hey it never got the chance it deserved (and we know why)

Its so nice to hear from you; I will email you very soon - I hope you and the children are doing well..one day at a time eh. Speak soon and love to you all.

New on www.youtube.com ; the Three Degrees section of the BBC-TV Documentary "Be My Baby - The Girl Group Story". I thought this was a great way of letting people from abroad who couldn't see it the first time around to get a look-in!

does anyone has photos of the Degrees with Helen, it was a photoshoot taken late 76 early 77..in those black..pink feather gowns!
there were photos taken also with the same gown when Fayette was in the group!
i'm sure there were with Helen too, as one of them was used in the booklet of the cd" from philly with love"
released on the legacy label

Those pictures were from a CBS photo session, done at the same time as the "Standing Up For Love" pictures. As far as I know, they were transparencies, not photographs...thats why they are so hard to come by!! Some of them were used on the TV Show "Saturday Scene", over here - when the girls did an interview in April 1977. If anyone does have them, it would be nice to see them again, but I believe the originals would be with CBS/Sony, if they still exist of course! You are right - they were same dresses as Faye had!!!
