But the “Shangri Las” weren’t probably even born when the group recorded. I felt duped. And on a PBS fundraiser a few years back Mary Wilson introduced “the girls”, who lip-synched “… the fabulous Three Degrees hit WWISYA”… Me – I ain’t buying! But you are correct in saying the public has the final say -
As for the Three Degrees Helen Scott and Valerie Holiday have been long time members of the group. They didn't lip sync because that's Val on lead. Sheila originally sang lead on WWISYA.
