Three Degrees – Three D

Three Degrees – Three D

Three Degrees – Three D sees the legendary female vocal trio embracing the polished, sophisticated sound of late-1970s and early-1980s soul, disco and R&B. Known for their distinctive harmonies, glamorous presentation and association with the Philadelphia soul sound, the group delivers a collection that balances soulful vocals with dancefloor-ready production.

The album opens with the energetic "Jump The Gun," followed by "Red Light" and "Set Me Free," establishing a more contemporary disco-funk direction while retaining the rich vocal blend that had become synonymous with Three Degrees.

Side two begins with "Starlight," before moving into "My Simple Heart," one of the album's standout tracks. "Without You" brings a more romantic and soulful mood, while "Bodycheck" closes the record with a funkier edge.

Three Degrees became international stars during the golden age of Philadelphia soul, scoring major successes with their sophisticated vocal performances and working closely with the creative team behind Philadelphia International Records. Their music helped bridge the gap between traditional soul and the increasingly dance-oriented sound of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Three D is a strong addition to any collection of classic soul, disco, female vocal groups, Philadelphia soul and sophisticated R&B, offering a snapshot of Three Degrees as they adapted their sound for a new era of dance and soul music.
