There is NO ONE in the world who says the word "BABY" better than the Three Degrees.

[theboyfromxtown]

I'm not well known at all but it is true that I have my name and phone number listed in many men's rooms as "willing and able". LOL

Wasn't this 3 Degrees the flip side of a 45....can't remember which one though

[lovechild]

This should have been the Three Degrees biggest hit, why wasnt it released as a single? it is gorgeous in Japanese too lol

[texassoul]

Right, Jim...I would only add that John helped with the Invictus compilations too...and does a lot of undercover work that we can't EVEN imagine!

[theboyfromxtown]

Do you all remember a song from Jean Carn called "There's A Shortage of Good Men". It's for the dance floor....

[midnight johnny]

That is a "Nightflight" favorite!!!

[theboyfromxtown]

Right, Jim...I would only add that John helped with the Invictus compilations too...and does a lot of undercover work that we can't EVEN imagine!

We ALL help in our small way. MJ has done an incredible amount by giving our music the promotion it deserves and we all help by listening and supporting it with our hard earned cash.

I've just had a neighbour downstairs bang on the ceiling...can you keep it down a bit please....LOL
