Funky Divas in the 70s
I once mouthed off that I preferred The Three Degrees over The Supremes. The fact Diana Ross and company were ultimately more successful doesn’t change my opinion. Why?
Fact one: When Will I See You Again
Fact two: Maybe
Fact three: their completely random appearance on the TV show Sanford and Son
Fact four: the theme song to Soul Train, "TSOP (Sound of Philadelphia)"
Fact five: the king of England, Charles III, is their most famous fan
Quick bio: the Philadephia-based group formed in high school in 1963 “because it was fun.” The height of their fame was in the 70s, although they have had random chart appearances throughout the years, most recently in 1998 with their cover of Last Christmas. Sixteen women can claim to be a former member of T3D, and there’s a 2006 documentary of the band.
