    It’s just the voices, the harmonies, the blend, the tone of each of their voices. It’s like you can’t do nothing but, just be in awe and get chills all over your body. Lord have mercy!!

    Wow. I've never heard this song covered like this. It's not just the great harmonies but the stage presence and beauty of these women was exceptional. I grew up in the era of "when will I see you again", but when I see videos of that era it blows my mind how musically talented these 3 women were.

      @@recalcitrantone To be honest, The Jones Girls and The Emotion are phenomenal (Nights over Egypt and Don't ask my neighbour are on my top 50 songs of all time probably. But I feel like those 3 right here are just in a different league vocally. They can all sing lead, and if you listen closely Valerie and Sheila switch Alto and Tenor often in this performance ( plus the harmonies are very very difficult, and I believe Fayette went for Tenor around 5:25 while Valerie went for Soprano ) These 3 are just built different, cuz pulling this thing live is not easy task.

      @@vybz974I have to strongly disagree with you on that The three degrees were an older group compared to the Jones girls and naturally as a group had way more experience in public performances but their harmonies and they vocals were not as tight as the Jones girls they always had superior vocals due to The jones girls are sisters and were harmonizing together since childhood and singing gospel in local churches unlike the three degrees that was a group put together by their manager at the time Richard Barret.
