My dad has dementia and Alzheimers …..
This song was his favourite in the 70’s!! He loved it so much he accidentally bought it twice. Probably why it went to No.1….
Every time I hear it, it makes me sad, as he’s not that strong dad that I always looked up to. He’s still alive. And when I play this (or any Bobby Darin song) his toes tap!!! It’s the power of music ❤❤❤❤❤ 🎶
This kind of music they don't make anymore 😢❤❤
I prefer these lineup of Fayette, Sheila and Valerie. I treasure them.
Me to ❤️
Me too, but love Helen! Grew up on Helen in the group!🎉🎉🎉
I sang with them onstage and the lineup was Valerie, Freddie and Tabitha. They were amazing and beautiful and it was one of the greatest thrills of my life to be a Degree for just a moment.
What more can you say about this group , they were simply stunning ... and this song is brilliant.
Yes,yes,yes!
King Charles of England loved this group , they were his favours back in the day 👍🏻
Yes it is
The harmonies of the Three Degrees were so beautiful 😊
Fayette, Sheila, and Valarie are FIRE!!! all 3 of these ladies are strikingly gorgeous Outstanding singers and elegant stage charm and commanding presents. They are golden!!!
This is one of those songs that has the power to transport you back to 1974!
Definitely! Good Times back then. ❤❤❤
that is the reason why i love the 70's.the sound of philadelphia. This is the year. My so favorite girl group THREE DEGREE..great voice blending.
Stunningly gorgeous all of them
My forever most favorite female group singers.
My childhood was filled by these ladies , my parents loved them...they gave a fantastic grounding of music to us all , stylistics , rock and roll , broad spectrum...thankyou to my amazing mum and dad 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 xxxxx
Philly soul, the 70s....love it !
Such a timeless classic - love it!
I just love how record execs scoured urban cities to find American treasures like these girls throughout the sixties and seventies. We are forever indebted.
My mum and dads tuneeeeeee from the 70s REST IN PARADISE .MISS YOU BOTH
Fantastic song, and don't they look stunningly beautiful
More Three Degrees 😍😍😍
Yes, and less Cardi B's. These ladies were the real deal 🙂
Absolutely beautiful in looks, personality and talent. Three absolutely magnificent ladies ❤❤❤
Sheila Ferguson. At 14 she was the best female by a mile on the totp. 50 years later my opinion hasn't changed.
Awesome times and music !!...good voices ....
Beautiful.
Remembering Fayette Pinkney
(January 10, 1948 - June 27, 2009)

Fantastic pop record
Charming voices
Class
1974....the year of decision.
The Three Degrees were stunning, special and superb and I mean that. Man these sisters are so classical. Sheila Ferguson, Val Holiday and Fay Pinkney were just sexy too. RIP, Fay Pinkney
Fabulous ❤❤❤ xxx
Loved ❤this group. there songs were all brilliant.
Stunners indeed ...
WISHING VALERIE HOLIDAY
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY
(DECEMBER 2, 2019)
Just wonder why she isnt mentioned more? I have never seen beauty like hers
The ladies were super. All years of the girl group was even with the lineup changes over the years.
Wonderful
Great memories.
Respect to Shelia, Val and Fay the Three Degrees were so sexy and man so classical
It can be 3 degrees outside but when I listen to this song, it never fails to warm my heart
They were great on "Sanford and Son" back in the day!! I love that episode!
OH MY GOD, 3 FANTASTIC STUNNERS 💋💋💋❤❤❤
Great Song that may have underlying applicable biblical principals which can help others. God wants us to succeed. Make a decision. Join his army. Jesus died to set us free. The arrangement and vocals are fantastic. God Bless You All
You can hear that philly sound!
OK, now I know big brother is watching. My Granddaughter dragged out my record player and my stash of 45s 2 weeks ago. Guess which song she played? I think this was the side B to "When will I see you again" and I'd never played it before, but she played it a few times. Scary that this just came up in my recommended videos.
Bella canción de mi juventud,inolvidable 💝💝💝💝
Great, love it!!!
I want to those gowns. June 2020
Disco just starting....a very good song!

Aged 14 I realised there was something special about Sheila Ferguson but couldn't quite put my finger on it.
But Prince Charles could! 😂

Maravillosas voces. Años de buena música.
R.I.P. Faye. Beautiful ladies indeed.❤❤❤
LEMBRAR É ÓTIMO !
They were unreal......... VALERIE WAS A KNOCKOUT.....WHEW.......SHE STILL LOOKS GOOD IN 2019
The soul of the 3 Degrees was (R.I.P.) F. Pinkney...
Beautiful Black Barbie dolls.
@@helenbestman5338 YUP :)
Totally agree about Valerie. I wonder why her unique beauty isnt mentioned more?
@@okorocha12 I agree......as stated before she was a knock out...whew :)
Great video and song thank you !
My favourite three degrees song
My favourite too. I idolise these beauties in the 70s. I wanted to grow up and be them. Great times back then. ❤❤❤
These are three beautiful black women, boy, I tell you…and Sheila and Valerie still look good today! God continue to rest Fayette’s soul, because without her keen ear for harmonies and singing first soprano, we wouldn’t have hits like this joint here!
More like biracial
Why does colour always have to be mentioned ?! They’re three beautiful women .
Great songs and good looking as well
YEAH WE LOVED THEM HERE IN Philly!!!
TSOP 👋🏽❤️
Great song this is a winning year🙂
Pure Gold.
We are all loving your postings of the wonderful and talented Three Degrees! Please keep them coming - I am looking forward to seeing their performances on Top Pop of "Take Good Care of Yourself" in 1975 and "Toast of Love" in 1976 which we in the UK have not yet seen - could we have those soon please! Thank you very much indeed... dank je wel! ;-)

Given Up" is a song by American rock band Linkin Park. The song was released as the fourth single from their third studio album🎺🎸🥁🎷🎹
Oh good song
I thing this song means every great American spirit
Terrific feel good stuff, easily their best, appealled to me immediately, didn't have to grow on me at all!
The 3 Degrees were fantastic. The toured the UK regularly with MFSB as a backing group. Seeing them live in a small intimate venue was fantastic. They were Prince Charles (Now King Charles III) favourite group. I wonder if they messaged him when he ascended to our throne?
I often wondered if dirty ol' man is his favourite😉
Brilliant ☺️
❤❤❤2024 cant wait❤❤❤❤❤
True professionals xx
Para mi la canción, especial 😊❤
👍🤩
Leave the bad stuff alone 🙏
Na minha cabeca elas permanecem jovens ate hoje pena que fayet ja se foi. Rip.
Dirty Old Man just missed out on breaking the UK Top 50 but Year Of Decision, the follow up, broke into the UK Top 20. Their next hit, When Will I See You Again would reach No1 on the UK chart in late summer 1974- only the 2nd time a girl group reached No1 on the UK Singles chart, the first being the Supremes 10 years earlier with Baby Love in 1964.
MmmmmSheila...❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful song, I am just a little younger than Prince Charles, I really fancied all three of these in my youth and received the current album on my birthday............Prince Charles HAD THEM AT HIS PARTY. Life can be very unfair

SOME ONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY VALERIE IS SO CUTE...WHEW...….HECK THEY ALL LOOK GOOD :)
motownfan3 no have another look they all look gorgeous
@@kenhatchett7645 YOU ARE CORRECT :)
Agree about Valerie... Her beauty should be mentioned more
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
the philly label delivered a great far more soul pride anthems than people give it credit for.
Back to when we were humans interacting - less materiality - when you knew who live next door
So true. In and out each others home
❤
