Their harmony always sounds so very much upfront...and it was tight...always. People think the Supremes had a lot of member changes....I can't keep up with how many members the 3 Degrees had...a few of the girls in the 3 Degrees took leaves and returned ...They are the longest running female group in history....GEE BABY I'M SORRY...the original SWAN label issue is a doo wop girls group classic...
did Valerie swipe Mary's horrible GIT Finale wig???? LOL
I thought the Velvelettes were the longest running female group?Quote:

Helen Scott is no longer with the Three Degrees. She's been replaced by Tabitha King.Quote:

I think Helen Scott is still a member and Tabitha King was just a temporary replacement for Helen. But I am usually wrong, so there's that :rolleyes:
