Miguel Brown?
If that is her....then I'm assuming the one in the middle isn't Helen Scott? Boy am I
confused...as she apparently was filling in for Helen Scott?

In 1986, she filled in for The Three Degrees [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Degrees) singer Helen Scott while Scott was pregnant. Brown helped the Degrees as they had a single called "This Is The House" to promote around Europe.[9] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miquel_Brown#cite_note-9)

That's definitely Helen in the middle. Maybe it's not an official publicity photo, but something more casual/social?

I was thinking the same, sans. Thanks Luke. I think that is Miquel Brown. Wasn't
there a 'Victoria' in the group at one time? I guess I need to brush up on my
Three Degrees history.

You guys will get a charge out of this........being the country bumpkin that I was back in the disco era, all I knew was what you would hear on the radio or see on the shelves. So I assumed at the time that Miguel Brown was a man. I figured the song "So Many Men, So Little Time" was likely a campy drag queen anthem, and I never saw an album jacket or photo to prove otherwise. So it is a surprise to find out now that she was a lovely lady, and even more of a surprise to read her Wikipedia bio and see the connections to Amii and Sinitta, two others that I have enjoyed over the years. As for the first name, is it Miguel with a G or Miquel with a Q? I have never been quite sure of that either.
