Phew... the close harmonies on this record drive ME mad, in the best possible way!
The 3 Degrees formed in Philadelphia in 1963 and went through a few lineup changes before settling into their hit making mid '70's soul-disco sound. Their early records for Swan feature some of my all-time favorite girl group vocals, and this another Richard Barrett production that takes the Motown blueprint and adds some Philadelphia seasoning to the pot; a recipe which eventually morphed into the very distinctive, string driven (but still rhythmic) Philly soul sound.
from 1966...
