Valerie Holiday, Helen Scott, and Cynthia Garrison are the golden voices of The Three Degrees.

The ladies have 2008 tour plans with possible touch-downs in Hawaii, Japan, and Europe.

You have to go all the way back to Philadelphia, PA in 1963 for the genesis of the original group: Fayette Pinckney, Linda Turner, and Shirley Poole.

There have been plenty of personnel changes through the years, although Helen and Valerie have been with the group since 1976. Helen was a late 1963 addition who left close to 1966, but returned a decade later.

You'll probably remember "When Will I See You Again" as their biggest hit.

Before success on Philadelphia International Records, The Three Degrees released songs on 5 different labels.

When you graze through The Three Degrees Biography at their official web site, you'll discover the British icon who named these ladies as his favorite group.

I'll recommend these 4 tracks from the Three Degrees catalog:

• "Love Is The Message" (with MFSB)
• "When Will I See You Again"
• "Maybe" (excellent cover of the Chantels hit with a rap to boot)
• "We're All Alone" (heavenly harmonies expanding the Boz Scaggs song)
