About this concert
In 2025 leidt Valerie Holiday opnieuw het legendarische trio The Three Degrees, samen met Freddie Pool en Jessie Wagner. In 2023 vierden The Three Degrees hun 60-jarig jubileum in de muziekindustrie, een ongeëvenaard hoogtepunt! Met een reeks hits – waarvan hun grootste, 'When Will I See You Again', wereldwijd de hitlijsten aanvoerde in de VS, het VK, Japan en de meeste Europese landen – heeft het trio talloze onderscheidingen en goudplaten verzameld. Zes decennia later hebben ze niets van hun precieze vocale kwaliteiten verloren en blijven ze indruk maken met hun indrukwekkende repertoire. In 1970 tekenden ze bij Roulette Records en brachten hun eerste album Maybe uit. De titelsong, met Valerie Holiday als lead, bereikte nummer 4 in de Amerikaanse R&B-hitlijsten. Dit succes bracht hen zelfs op het witte doek, met een optreden in de film The French Connection (1971). Hun samenwerking met het legendarische Philadelphia International label in 1972 leverde hits op als “Dirty Ol’ Man” en “The Sound of Philadelphia” (met MFSB). Het trio vierde in 2024 het 50-jarig jubileum van hun grootste hit ‘When Will I See You Again’, die in 1974 werd uitgebracht. Met Giorgio Moroder als producer voegden ze in 1978 nog meer hits toe aan hun lijst, waaronder “Giving Up, Giving In”, “My Simple Heart” en “The Runner”. Het trio kreeg zelfs een koninklijk tintje toen King Charles III (destijds Prins Charles) hen zijn favoriete groep noemde, wat hen de bijnaam “Charlie’s Angels” opleverde. Ze waren een van de weinige Amerikaanse artiesten die werden uitgenodigd voor het huwelijk van Charles en Diana. The Three Degrees blijven het langstlopende vrouwelijke vocale trio in de geschiedenis en zijn vastberaden om hun unieke sound te blijven delen met het publiek. Laat je meevoeren door hun tijdloze klassiekers tijdens hun onvergetelijke optreden in de Nobel!

The Three Degrees Biography
The Three Degrees are a female Philly soul and disco vocal musical group formed in 1965 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although always fronted by a three person line-up, a total of eleven women have rotationally represented the group so far. The original members were Fayette Pinkney, Shirley Porter, and Linda Turner. They were discovered by Richard (Ritchie) Barrett. Turner and Porter were replaced by Helen Scott and Janet Harmon in late 1965 and early 1966; Sheila Ferguson replaced Scott in 1966 whilst Valerie Holiday (a Miss Tan Boston winner) replaced Harmon in 1967. "Draw The Line" was a Top 40 hit for the group in the mid-60s; they also hit the top 40 in 1970 with an update of the Chantals' "Maybe".
Best known for their hits on Philadelphia International, The Three Degrees had several hits in the mid-1970s, the biggest of which was the #1 UK and #2 US single "When Will I See You Again" (released in 1973, but not a hit until 1974). "When Will I See You Again" was used in a 2002 and 2006 advertising campaign by the Food Standards Agency.
The group appeared in William Friedkin's hit 1971 film The French Connection, as a nightclub act singing "Everybody's Going To The Moon". Their vocals are featured on the end of the Soul Train theme song, "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" by MFSB. In 1976 Pinkney left to further her education and was replaced by the returning Helen Scott. She released a solo album, "One Degree" in 1979. Sheila left to go solo in 1986 and was primarily replaced by Vera Brown who was only in the group for a very short time before being replaced by Rea Harris in 1987. Rea was replaced by Victoria Wallace in 1988, who recorded the album "...and Holding" together with Valerie and Helen. She was replaced by Cynthia Garrison in 1989 who is still a mainstay of The Three Degrees to this day.
The group's career was revitalised towards the end of the 1970s by a foray into disco music, with a string of hits produced by Giorgio Moroder, featuring his signature electronic rhythms with tracks like Givin' Up, Givin' In, The Runner (written by Ferguson) and Jump The Gun, as pioneered earlier by Donna Summer.
A well-known fan of the group is Prince Charles, who invited them to perform at Buckingham Palace for his 30th birthday party.
In 2004 Sheila Ferguson released her debut solo album, New Kind of Medicine and the lead single, sharing the same title as the album, was complimented with a vibrant promo video, found here, directed by Burning Vision Entertainment that mixed retro with modern stylings to bring Ferguson firmly back into the limelight.
The Group continue to tour Worldwide and recently announced their inclusion in "The Best Disco In Town 2007" Tour together with the likes of Odyssey and The Real Thing throughout the UK.
