"When Will I See You Again" - The Three Degrees (1974)

"When Will I See You Again" by The Three Degrees was one of the most successful recordings in the "Philly Soul" sound. Performed live on the Christmas 1974 edition of "Top of the Pops" UK television show, just sit back and listen to this trio blow you away. Listen to how close this live version is to the actual studio take.

In 2004, this song was referenced in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Volume 2 when Bill (David Carradine) claims it's his favorite soul song of the 70s.

Yo, definitely an early version of lip-syncing..song stinks, too...

Lip-synched ? AJM, take a listen to the studio version, notice the variations, and come back and tell me this is still lip-synched.

BTW - Shockey is overrated !

It would be a serious mistake to get rid of Shockey. Too talented and too passionate about the game. I don't want to have to be in week 10 and our TE's have a total of 20 catches...Fumes!

Song still stinks, lip-synced or not..

I know you are a big fan of this song...how do I know?? As one of my youtube buddies, I can see your favorite videos, and this was one of them...I was never a fan of this song. I do, however, detect the variations from the original, thereby denouncing AJM's "lip-sync" comment. I'll tune in tomorrow.

I'm sorry I am not an expert in the full musical catalogue of the incredibly talented The Three Degrees. Lip-sync away!

Today, the line-up consists of Valerie Holiday, Helen Scott and Cynthia Garrison.

So, there!
