Sheila Ferguson - Heartbroken Memories When we filmed Sheila, the most well known lead singer of The Three Degrees, for "The Strange (More) When we filmed Sheila, the most well known lead singer of The Three Degrees, for "The Strange World Of Northern Soul", I was awestruck by how young and glamorous she looks, especially remembering she first cut this song, "Heartbroken Memories" in 1965. The Three Degrees were formed in 1963 by Richard Barrett and signed to Swan records. They were originally Fayette Pinckney, Linda Turner, and Shirley Poole. They first scored a regional hit with "Gee Baby," working with a number of great local musicians, some of whom would become the backbone of the Philadelphia soul movement of the 70s. In 1966 Scott temporarily left the group and was replaced by Sheila Ferguson, already an accomplished solo singer, with a song on Swan that was to become a Northern Soul favourite, "Heartbroken Memories", and Valerie Holiday took over Harmon's slot. They then signed to Warner Brothers and recorded that wonderful song, "Contact", that became one of the favourites at Blackpool Mecca's legendary Highland Room. After Warner Bros, the act was then signed by Roulette Records and in 1970 scored their first major national hit, a top 5 remake of the Chantels' "Maybe." They followed later that year with the popular "You're the One," and landed a brief appearance singing in the Gene Hackman hit movie The French Connection. A major career move for the Three Degrees was their signing by Gamble & Huff's up-and-coming Philadelphia International Records in 1972. They made an immediate splash with the disco hit "Dirty Ol' Man" before joining with MFSB (the Philadelphia International house band) to record the Soul Train theme song "TSOP," which became an across-the-board #1 hit. They then followed the next year with what would become their signature song, the sophisticated ballad "When Will I See You Again," one of the greatest songs ever to come from Philadelphia, and the group's biggest international hit. The Three Degrees continued with moderate success at PIR before moving over to Epic Records in 1975 and then to Ariola. During the next decade their success in the U.S. was limited but they became bigger than ever in the U.K., where they continued to score with hits such as "Giving Up, Giving In" and "Woman In Love." Prince Charles proclaimed them his favorite group (they were guests at his wedding to Princess Diana) and they were consequently labeled by the British Press as "Charlie's Angels." Helen Scott rejoined the group (replacing Pinckney) in 1976, and the lineup of Scott, Ferguson and Holiday continued for a decade, when Sheila Ferguson finally left the group. (Less)
Sheila Ferguson - Fool Of The Year "Disco 2008" is here. This utterly fabulous, joyous, sassy, uptempo throwback to Seventies (More) "Disco 2008" is here. This utterly fabulous, joyous, sassy, uptempo throwback to Seventies Disco, is the fifth song for our brand new album "Disco 2008" to have a finished video here on YouTube. We have now finished recording all of the twenty four songs going on it, plus three more songs just for the DVD version. As for the videos, and there is a video for each and every track, we still have a lot more to make over the next five weeks, to meet our December deadline. So we're all going to be busy at Centre City Records. When we first filmed Sheila Ferguson, the most well known lead singer of The Three Degrees, for "The Strange World Of Northern Soul", nine years ago, I was awestruck by how young and glamorous she looked, especially remembering she first recorded way back in 1965. Even more amazingly, nine years later and she hasn't aged a day. The Three Degrees were formed in 1963 by Richard Barrett and signed to Swan records.

Well anyway, the exciting news is that "Disco 2008" is nearly here. 24 brand new Disco tracks in time for Christmas. All of them recorded since August 2007. 24 fabulous retro disco delights, with a DVD also, of the performances of all 24 songs that are on the CD plus three bonus tracks. I love it. PLEASE buy "Disco 2008" in December, available through Vital, and marketed by GoldSoul Records. (Less)
