  • In the early Eighties The Three Degrees recorded two album on their own label. One of the two was: 'The Three Degrees - Live in the UK'. One of the tracks - also included in their shows - was 'The boss'. I extended the song, brushed up the sound and edited the video.

      I agree Dennis, these ladies are better singers. Unfortunately for them, they just didn't have the writers and musicians that Motown had. Although topnotch singers, some of the songs were not. Too bad they had to go to Europe to get the type of recognition they deserved.
