1.0 out of 5 stars 39 and not holding very well, June 26, 2002

Sad. That's how AbFab's Saffy would describe this album. While the songs are the same as the original hits by the famous trio, these are not the original recordings. I recently learned that this group came into existence the year after I was born. Unfortunately, I'm holding up better than their voices. Someone with a Portugese production company has put these tired girls back in the studio to re-record the songs. And the instrumental parts aren't much better than these voices singing songs in keys significantly lower, somewhat flatter, and with much less breath control than the originals. It is depressing to say the least. Even Giorgio Moroder's arrangements have been massacred. Save your money and buy the original recordings even if you have to buy several albums to get them all...and by the way, some of what is on this, you wouldn't have known was theirs anyway. Let's let these divas retire with some dignity. The years of touring and whatever else goes with show biz is coming through not so loud and not so clear in their voices.

It's pretty good if you are a real Three Degrees fan. Some of the songs I never heard before but, they're not bad songs. They kind of grow on you. It's a good CD for a rainey day, or if your just kicked back listing to music.

4.0 out of 5 stars DIFFERENT STORIES, May 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Three Degrees - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

3 cd's, different stories because here are songs from combinations of the ladies fayette, sheila, valerie, helen & cynthia. if you want a variety of sounds; buy this great collection. what do we have here: earlier roulette greats (original recordings !) and ofcourse philly classics, new recordings with a studio band. my favorite song here is the classic 'do right woman, do right man'. once sung by aretha franklin but you really have to listen to this version with leadvocals from valerie holiday, powerfull and beautiful. only the 3° can do that ! after listening to all these gems, you know why these ladies will always have a place in music history !
