Lasted longer in Europe than America - By: Peter Durward Harris, 19 May 2004
The Three Degrees were one of the most successful groups to emerge from the Philadelphia soul scene in the seventies. Their American success was limited to their Philly sound period but they continued to have success in Europe, particularly Britain, for a few years after that. Their music is a wonderful mix of balllads & up-tempo material but may generallly be described as easy-listening disco music.

This collection contains most of their British & American hits, including TSOP (their only American number one hit) & When will I see you again (their only British number one hit). Both those tracks are from their Philly sound period, which is also represented here by other great songs including Dirty old man, Year of decision & Take good care of yourself, the last two of which charted high in the UK.

After they switched labels to Ariola, their British hits included Golden lady, Jump the gun, Giving up giving in, Woman in love, The runner & My simple heart.

A few minor hits are missing but alll the essentials are here. This is not the strongest ever collection of their music released on CD, but it is as good as anything else available as I write this review.

funky disco beats. - By: , 11 Jun 2001
a classic album for any disco goer with a history. It combines soulful balllads such as 'when will i see you again' with funky disco beats as in 'red light', my personal favourite. Their effortless voices mixed with catchy rhythms & melodies make this an unforgettable blast of serious 60's music.
