Bitter, Bitter Sweet, my very significant other used to sit outside my house, with this playing on his 8 track player, when we'd had an silly little argument, my mom and dad would be laughing so hard, and ask me what I'd done to that boy, sometimes I'd go out, sometimes I wouldn't. Once he even came into the beauty shop, got on his knees at my feet, in front of everyone in the shop that day to say he was sorry, please marry me. Well we got married, had 3 wonderful children together, 2 boys, 1 girl, all mini versions of him, I named the 1st boy after him, he became BCB III, 2nd boy a BCB, and then our daughter BCB. Sadly though on February 7, 2000, I lost my sweet BCB. Thankfully I still have my not so little 3 BCBs though, I am thankful for the years we had together. Thank You for this video. I truly appreciate it.
This is such a soulful, well planned, well thought out and well written song. The music is magical. The girl realised that she made the biggest mistake in her life when she chased her boyfriend out of her life. She regretted it bitterly for she realised that she still loved him. Then came their meeting by chance. and they just stood there looking at each other. She expressed remorse and accepted him right back into her life
Wow hearing it at 64 brings back the memories of 24. Black lights in the basement house party. 70’s were the best years ever of music. Thank you Valerie.
Yes, this is soul, real black soul, these black sisters were so gifted. The lead singer pulled some damn notes in here only a black woman can sing. You have to be black to be a real soul singer. Blacks are blessed to be born with real soul, often imitated but never replicated. Sing it, my black sister.
In fact only the African Americans with their spiritual gospel tradition, but that's what you meant. Elvis was also a soul man, because he grew up in the gospel church
@drummerc1795 I'M SURE THIS INDIVIDUAL DID HEAR OF TEENA MARIE. AND THAT'S WHY HE SAID WHAT HE SAID. ONLY AN MISINFORMED, ILLEGITIMATEAND IGNORANT INDIVIDUAL ATTEMPT TO COME BACK WITH SUCH A STATEMENT. TEENA MARIE DID NOT HAVE A VOICE LIKE A BLACK WOMAN, NEVER HAD AND NEVER WOULD. YOU CAN FAKE ALL YOU WANT AND ANYONE WITH EARS CAN TELL THAT TEENA'S VOICE COULD NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR AMOUNT TO WHAT BLACK WOMEN COULD DO. HER VOICE WAS NOT CONTROLLED AND NOT NATURAL AT ALL. YOU CAN SAY YOU LIKE THE CHICKS MUSIC BUT DON'T YOU DARE IN YOUR LIFE ATTEMPT TO COMPARE HER TO A BLACK WOMAN'S SUPERNATURAL SINGING ABILITY. WATCH YOUR MOUTH. LIES ARE NOT ALLOWED.
@@gratefuldead3750AGAIN...WHAT IS UP WITH THESE IGNORANT AND JUST PLAIN STUPID RESPONSES TO ORIGINAL COMMENT? PEOPLE DON'T LIKE FACTS BEING TOLD ESPECIALLY WHEN WHITE SUPREMACY IS BEING DEBUNKED. ELVIS!? WHAT THE HELL!? TELL ME YOU'RE JOKING. JUST DON'T SAY A WORD BECAUSE YOU SOUND COMPLETELY MENTALLY OFF. SECOND WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT BLACK PEOPLE CAN AND HAVE DONE WITH SINGING!? GOSPEL!? YOU THINK THAT'S WHERE OUR VOICES SHINE AND HOW IT STARTED WITH US. YOU SEEM LIKE THE BIGGEST IDIOT I'VE EVER CAME ACROSS!!!
Didn't realize that this was the Three Degrees until today March 20 2024. I was 5 years old when this song was a Huge !!! Huge!!! Hit !! All of these years later at the age of 59 , im just realizing that the version of this song that I've loved the most is right here. This Soulful Masterpiece Is Deftly Demonstrated By THE THREE DEGREES!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤ Thanks for uploading and sharing this with us all, Especially Me!!!❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
At 67 I'm just realizing the same also. I remember loving this song from the radio. Never knew who sang it. This came out before "when will I see you again".
She killed this song!! Her voice is very unique, strong, but soft. Excellent job!! This was like a video before videos came out, about 7 or 8 years early!!😀
I’ve been searching for this specific song for years and years. It’s been brewing in my head since I was a kid. Thank you so much for uploading this classic and soulful song that my mother used to play.
Dope!!! Late 1960s through the mid 1970s soul couldn’t be topped!!! Whether if was Philly Soul, The Motown Sound, Memphis/Stax or Chicago Soul I wish I had a time machine!!!!!!
These beautiful, black, talented sisters, were a joy to listen to. Damn this sister blows this song right out of the water. What a hell of a voice! In fact they all had great voices, but this song was a definite soul knock out. Still enjoying this in 2019.
SOULFUL. This is music that touches my soul. Those were the days when sisters had pure love in their hearts. It's not until you listen to the break-up crap that women sing today, is when you can truly appreciate the soul that black women of the 70's possessed. Damn. I feel like we let a generation of Beautiful Black women slip right through our fingers.
I love the 3 Degrees appearance on Sanford And Son! I can still hear Fred, Bubba, Leroy and Skillet screaming "We want the 3 Degrees- "We want the 3 Degrees!"
Fayette Pinkney, Sheila Ferguson, and Valerie Holiday were one of my favorite groups. I was very young but my older cousins would play music that I really got into. I remember The Three Degrees singing "Collage" it just let me have it! I miss their style -
Havent heard this since 1970-71 You-Tube has EVERYTHING!!! Thanx for the memories. Thank you Peggy Johnson...Rita Spears...Deborah Brown my own personal 3-Degrees
These girls could seriously throw down!! "I Do Take You", "I Didn't Know", "Dirty Ol' Man", "There's So Much Love All Around Me", and "TSOP" which was credited on the record as by MFSB Featuring the Three Degrees, and an across-the-board #1!! These girls had a lot of hits.
I love this video she starts out so smooth with the speaking parts the goes right into belting her heart out accompanied with those harmonies. Good stuff.
They look So pretty & beautiful, not to mention classy, singing ahh man l can't find the words l truly want to say.Love this video Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!
This song reminds me of one of the best summers of my life. We lived in an apartment building on Avalon near 95th street. A soul food restaurant on the corner and the House of Burgers on the next corner. The girls in our apartment building played this song everyday and I never got tired of it. The Three Degrees were awesome! People like Deloris and Wayne,Donnie, Dirty Red,Sharon,Junie,Maria,Tanya,Ms. Doris,Paul,Tumbleweed,
I was born and raised in LA and you brought up some great memories. I remember House of Burgers and also going to Green Meadows Park to play and hang out
New day an age ! Angel Baby Oldies! Paying tribute to the oldies radio legends ! ShaaowwBabyBubba brought me here!!!! Oldies Forever!!!! Simon, let's Cruz!!!!!
I been looking for this song looooooong time is a DJ Davey send me the name of this song I played it until who listened to this in 2023 hands in air big big big sing Thank you DJ Davey MC Intyer
I FINALLY FOUND THIS JAM!!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VERSION OF MAYBE FOR YEARS... I was a 8 Years Old when This Jam Came Out. My Big Sister used to play this when they had Basement Parties. I couldn't go? But I would LOVE TO HEAR IT PLAY UPSTAIRS... We Had one of the first "Stereos" that opened up on one side, and had speakers built in on Both Sides... WOW!!! Thanks For Posting...
The Three Degrees cover is the best of the original by "The Chantels." Make sure to check theirs our too. Enjoy. ruclips.net/video/1-1JyHLiiTw/видео.html
This song always seemed to be in rotation in my household while growing up. People really sang DOWN back then.....when they finally got around to singing,, that is.
Just the way I had envisioned it. This was a treat to see! Thank you for posting. Such a powerful display of the versatile talent in the group. All could sing lead. And all did leading well.
Pre- En Vogue soul. This is STILL my favorite Three Degrees recording. The monologue is a setup for a dynamic vocal performance. The lead singer reminds me so much of my little sister Therese Cotton, who is also a powerhouse singer!!! Great stuff from one of the eras of real music!!! Thanx for the post.
Damn I miss music when they could talk on a track for hours, and it feel so good. This music is older then me, and it's still hit like it's new. Thank God for timeless music.
mrstep2me I have to disagree. Fergenson joined in 1966, replacing Helen Scott, who was the lead-singer. Valerie joined in 1967, replacing Jenet Harmon. If you listen to singing on both "Maybe" and "When Will I See You Again", you'll recognize that it is the same person, and there is NO DOUBT Sheila sang lead on "When Will I See You Again".
~ All good & still fresh in 2018: Much love and respect for all the Three Degrees music, starting with this r&b classic. Love to all the women: The Three Degrees (Fayette Pinkney R.I.P.), The Chantels (Jackie Landry Jackson R.I.P.), Janis Joplin (R.I.P.)! Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
I remember when I was about 12 years old I got this album.. I liked it for the album cover but I was shocked when I got it home and played it on my stereo how good these ladies could sing.. Listening to such a heavy song at such a young age. Really brought me close to Soul music.. if you ever find the original album you will be very pleased..
Even though the three degrees had lots of hit songs to me they never gotten that big around the world tv recognizetion .., very excellent girl singing group ..al three young ladies are and still sexy even with new members ..the ladies need a star on Hollywood walk of fame !!😊😮😢❤
Well dressed. Very ladylike, neat.. Singing perfect. Make up in place. Hair proper. No foul language. No juju/black magic along with their performance.. These were the real artists.. ❤❤🎉✨️💥🌸🙏💐
when i was in my 20s in the 90s I discovered this song and jammed this all the time back then had no idea there was a video of it from 1970 Goodlooking out youtube subscriber
The 3 Degrees are really underestimated! The DJ Les Brown that was here in Columbus, Ohio Back in the late60's/Early 70's. Brought them Strong on the Radio..🥰🎙🔉🔉📻📟

Three Degrees are really really underrated girl band man.
Totally agree!
I loved them!
The guy in the video looking like right Lionel Jefferson on Jefferson
I couldn't agree more 💯
Like understateably underrated!

Not for nothing but the Supremes as much as I love and still do. These women out shined them.
Wow, you re saying something.
You better believe they were better than Diana Ross 3:35
I love the version of Janis Joplin did on her kozmic blues album
Yes, this is soul, real black soul, these black sisters were so gifted. The lead singer pulled some damn notes in here only a black woman can sing. You have to be black to be a real soul singer. Blacks are blessed to be born with real soul, often imitated but never replicated. Sing it, my black sister.
Guess you never heard of Teena Marie
So full of soul while your people wantonly slaughter each other on the streets every day. We don’t need your racism.

Valerie is soooo daggone FINE!!!!!!! ❤😍❤
Not only is Valerie one of the illest, most powerful female vocalists I've ever heard. But she's absolutely gorgeous in this video
N***** please they're all gorgeous
She is killing this song she is singing
I love this group. They were so classy and talented ❤

Me too!!!

My awesome taste in music brought me here.
Do anyone else here the rich soul in those voices as they blend? Now that’s singing.
I never knew they had music videos in 1970. Wow! ...That lead singer was fine as hell!💗😍
AND, they were LADIES who 'curtsied' at the end! Looking like Gorgeous Black Queens and not Hookers.....they were a Class Act....
@@sofumba Hell even hookers back then looked classy compared to nowadays
Won’t she?!?! My goodness she was gorgeous!!!
This wasn't a music video it was a TV special.

Dope!!! Late 1960s through the mid 1970s soul couldn’t be topped!!! Whether if was Philly Soul, The Motown Sound, Memphis/Stax or Chicago Soul I wish I had a time machine!!!!!!
Your comments are totally on point and a home run. Simply great music.

I love the 3 Degrees appearance on Sanford And Son! I can still hear Fred, Bubba, Leroy and Skillet screaming "We want the 3 Degrees- "We want the 3 Degrees!"
Just saw that today on TVone!
One of my favorite S&S episodes.
Where was Grady?
That was my favorite episode of Sanford &Son it cracked me up, I love the Three Degrees
God that show was legend
This is a dynamic and beautiful song!!! By three beautiful Queens, but it wouldn't be right not to give the Drummer his props, he was awesome❤️
Thank you J Dilla. Lovely song.
Whooo!!!! Thats ma joint. Genuine music and talent. Thanks to our parents who listened to music everywhere.
This song just popped inside my head after so many years and I had to come and search for it. Excellent lyrics sung with so much soul.
Fayette Pinkney, Sheila Ferguson, and Valerie Holiday were one of my favorite groups. I was very young but my older cousins would play music that I really got into. I remember The Three Degrees singing "Collage" it just let me have it! I miss their style -

Valerie Holliday is FANTASTIC! She's got the looks to match her voice as well.
mrstep2me That's NOT Valerie Holliday singing lead, it's Sheila Fergenson, who was lead-singer from 1966-1986, including "When Will I See You Again".
jimy0803 Sheila did most of their leads, but not this one.
mrstep2me Ok, upon further review, I stand corrected. My bad.
@@jimy0803 'Bout time you admitted you were wrong.
I don't know who it is. But she can sho sing. Are these the same girls that br talking bout when will i see you again? Boy she sho can sing!!!
And I just fell all apart inside because I hadn't heard that voice in such a long time...
Y'all hear how she sounds, right?
And I turned around
Love part i feel my nerves builden .
These girls could seriously throw down!! "I Do Take You", "I Didn't Know", "Dirty Ol' Man", "There's So Much Love All Around Me", and "TSOP" which was credited on the record as by MFSB Featuring the Three Degrees, and an across-the-board #1!! These girls had a lot of hits.
MetFan37 Yep, and of course there was their biggest hit billed strictly them, 1974's When Will I See You Again, #2 pop/#4 R&B.
@@JeffTheGent Oddly, that one doesn't thrill me - too smooth for what they were capable of.....
Her voice, she's so beautyful!! the harmonies!!! Beautyful song!!!😍🔥
I love this video she starts out so smooth with the speaking parts the goes right into belting her heart out accompanied with those harmonies. Good stuff.
Everyone was great in this , except for the guy,they should of picked another actor, but the Degrees were great performers.
Glad I was born in this era of real music
HAPPY 74TH BIRTHDAY VALERIE HOLIDAY

The Three Degrees were three gorgeous songbirds ever especially Sheila Ferguson I was in love with her
The lost art of Rappin.
Let busta rhymes tell it rapp music started with Latinos a people of the tropics.
storytelling
Just the way I had envisioned it. This was a treat to see! Thank you for posting. Such a powerful display of the versatile talent in the group. All could sing lead. And all did leading well.
My favorite group. What depth and poise they have. Music is not made like that anymore.
MY HEART IS BLESSED TO SEE THIS EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL AND MOST PRECIOUS VIDEO
This brings back so many memories. Anyone that foolishly lost a good partner because they did or said something dumb, can relate!
I grew up on this song in the 70s my dad played this all the time. Love this song
Pre- En Vogue soul. This is STILL my favorite Three Degrees recording. The monologue is a setup for a dynamic vocal performance. The lead singer reminds me so much of my little sister Therese Cotton, who is also a powerhouse singer!!! Great stuff from one of the eras of real music!!! Thanx for the post.
🎤We sung this song in the Jr High School talent show. 🎶 Memories.. The Three Degrees were so talented ♦️
Memories of '70
Yes such a beautiful and unique voice and the song, Wow!! Three Degrees, they rock. ❤️
Damn I miss music when they could talk on a track for hours, and it feel so good. This music is older then me, and it's still hit like it's new. Thank God for timeless music.
Amazing cover.
REMEMBERING FAYETTE PINKNEY (JANUARY 10, 1948 - JUNE 27, 2009) [01/10/2017]
Valerie was gorgeous, that's some serious soul sister rapp 4ya, these girls made it big in Europe,
mad largetrks Sorry, but that's not Valerie singing lead, it's Sheila Fergenson, who sang lead on the majority of their songs from 1966-1986.
jimy0803 Wrong, that is Valerie on lead here. I know what she looks like.
mrstep2me I have to disagree. Fergenson joined in 1966, replacing Helen Scott, who was the lead-singer. Valerie joined in 1967, replacing Jenet Harmon. If you listen to singing on both "Maybe" and "When Will I See You Again", you'll recognize that it is the same person, and there is NO DOUBT Sheila sang lead on "When Will I See You Again".
mad largetrks Lol! I'm not blind, but you and mrstep2me were right about Val leading on this one.
jimy0803 I was gonna say that that wasn't Valerie too!!!
~ All good & still fresh in 2018: Much love and respect for all the Three Degrees music, starting with this r&b classic. Love to all the women: The Three Degrees (Fayette Pinkney R.I.P.), The Chantels (Jackie Landry Jackson R.I.P.), Janis Joplin (R.I.P.)! Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
Yeah, only her fans know that Janis also recorded this song.
listen to the power in the voices. God's gift. True Black American vintage Soul
They sound sooooo nice together I love this song.....who would be able to pull off this beauty in this era???! 💕
The best Harmonizers ever pure singing
Sistars have powerful voices. I stood up and threw my hands in the air ❤❤❤
What a fantastic message for both genders, pick your words wisely, especially when you are angry.
first time seeing this video!!!! WOW!!!!! have always loved the song but hot damn this is cool
