While we're on the subject:

The Three Degrees were formed around 1963 in Philadelphia, PA. They were discovered by producer and songwriter Richard Barrett. Barrett was responsible for Groups of the 1950s such as the Chantels, Little Anthony and the Imperials, and his own group the Valentines.

Thanks M. It's a sad story. At a certain point I found I just couldn't write those monster hit tunes any more, and my sorry attempts to recreate the success of "When will I see you again?" ended up only ever being heard in so-called "new music festivals" in forgotten corners of Europe. I died a broken man.

Good thing that's over now, eh?
