I wish the tour would come to London. Sounds like a great bill.

This was a well kept secret! lol and I know the person who does the PR for The Liverpool Hilton, what a line up, I had heard that Dionne Warwick was doing tour dates but when I checked out the website David Gest has there was no mention, disappointed to miss this concert!

I thought Sheila Ferguson wasn't in the first line up of the Three Degrees and that she came along a couple of years later?

She wasn't in the original group. She was a soloist when she and the Three Degrees were recording for the same label. Sometimes they would sing on each others' records during those early years.

Dionne Warwick was only on the show at the Liverpool O2 Arena and at the after gala party. She wouldn't have sung at the party but for a bid in the charity auction which requested she sang "Alfie". Gwen Dickey wasn't on the show at Liverpool but she sang at the gala party. The Liverpool show at the O2 Arena was a sell out.

None of the current Three Degrees are an original member.

Sheila however was with the group during their "heyday" ; actually for over 20 years, from the mid-60's until the mid-80's. She's the voice on "When Will I See You Again"; perhaps that is what the poster is trying to imply.

Still stretching a point but that's publicity, PR and show biz advertising for you.

Helen Scott is an original. She sung a lot of leads on the Swan Recordings and she is still with the group to this day. :)
