Can anyone tell me who this line-up was? None of them look familiar.

I don't know the individual names of the girls, but Richard Barrett, their manager, had several members starting back in
the early 60s before the "famous" three hit big. I know they recorded for Swan Records back then.

Signs of love was the b-side of a song called Heartbroken memories. It was a solo single by Sheila Ferguson with backpart vocals by the Three Degrees [[as were nearly all her Swan Records releases).
I think the Three Degrees at this time were Helen Scott, Fayette Pinckney and Janet Jones. Though whether that is the girls in the photo I'm not sure.

Many thanks for all your input! Mystery solved!

Ashley, who was the lead singer back then? Also, wasn't someone by the name of Linda Turner a Degree at one time? Also when is the next "arts" meeting?

That is Janet, Faye - and Helen - I believe they ALL shared leads back then.

They all shared leads..On the Swan stuff Fayette did "Gee Baby" and Helen did "Maybe" "Look In My Eyes," and "I'm Gonna Need You" and I dont know what Janet did..They had great harmony then too. Real angelic..
