The Thee Degrees are a female vocal group form circa 1963 and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although 16 women have been members over the years, the group has always been a trio. The group were particularly successful in the UK, achieving 13 Top 50 hit singles between 1974 and 1985.
The original members were Fayette Pinkney, Shirley Porter and Linda Turner. Porter and Turner were eventually replaced by Helen Scott and Janet Harmon and the group was signed to Swan Records in Philadelphia. The line-up from 1967 to 1976 was Pinkney, Valerie Holiday and Sheila Ferguson, who would go on to sing lead on most of the group's biggest hits. This line-up topped the US Hot 100 as featured vocalists on the MFSB single "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" in 1974, and had seven UK Top 40 hits, including the 1974 single "When Will I See You Again", which was a huge international hit, reaching the Top 5 in seven countries, including number two in the US and topping the UK Singles Chart. After Pinkney was fired from the group in 1976, Helen Scott returned to join Sheila Ferguson and Valerie Holiday to have four UK Top 20 hits, including "Woman in Love", which reached number three in 1979. Ferguson left for a solo career in 1986.
It was 1973 when the group was signed to Philadelphia International Records under Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff where they had their greatest successes. The first song they recorded for the label was with the studio band MFSB, titled "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)", which was the theme song for Soul Train.In October 1973, the group also made an appearance on the American television sitcom Sanford and Son (season 3, episode 4), singing their song "I Didn't Know".
Their first album for the Philadelphia International label, The Three Degrees, spawned three hits: "Dirty Ol' Man" (which went gold in the Netherlands and Belgium), "Year Of Decision" (which made it to No. 13 in the UK Singles Chart),but it was the third single, "When Will I See You Again", that propelled the trio into the mainstream. It topped the UK Chart for two weeks in August 1974 (the first time this had been achieved by an all-female group since The Supremes in 1964, and became the fourth best-selling single of the year. It also reached No. 2 in the US, where it sold over two million copies and earned the trio a gold record in December 1974.

Song: Soul Train 76 (Get On Board)
Song by: The Soul Train Gang
In the early 1970s, the dancers on Don Cornelius' hit television program Soul Train were called the Soul Train Gang. But they became the Soul Train Dancers in 1975, when Cornelius and Dick Griffey co-founded Soul Train Records (later SOLAR Records), home to Lakeside, Shalamar, the Whispers and others—and decided to name an R&B vocal quintet The Soul Train Gang.
Consisting of two brothers' from Cincinnati, Ohio; Gerald Brown & Terry Brown; Judy Jones, Patricia Williamson (replaced by Denise Smith in 1976) and Hollis Pippin, the Soul Train Gang recorded its debut album, Don Cornelius Presents the Soul Train Gang, in 1975. Produced by Cornelius and Griffey, the LP included "Soul Train '75," one of the many themes from Soul Train.
But I like Soul Train 76 (Get On Board) by The Soul Train Gang. To me, it was a better theme. It was a theme that painted a picture in my mind what Soul Train was really all about.
Coming up next: The Sound of Philadelphia featuring The Three Degrees.

Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to Ferris Wheel Soul. I'm gonna talk about music from the days of Solar Records when tunes were spinning from the records. Those were good days. Those were the best days of music.
Solar Records was founded in 1977 by Dick Griffey. It was reconstituted out of Soul Train Records only two years after it was founded with Soul Train television show host and creator Don Cornelius.
SOLAR began in 1975 as Soul Train Records, founded by Dick Griffey and Soul Train creator Don Cornelius.[2] The first act they signed was an R&B vocal quartet they named The Soul Train Gang (Gerald Brown, Terry Brown, Judy Jones, Patricia Williamson, and later Denise Smith), who performed one of Soul Train's many themes, "Soul Train '75". Their first album was entitled Don Cornelius Presents The Soul Train Gang. In 1976, their second album, The Soul Train Gang, produced by Philly's Norman Harris, was released. The Gang broke up in 1977.
Next, I'll be talking about the Soul Train Gang and their music. You're listening to the Ferret-FWS. Another edition of the Ferret. Ferris Wheel Soul is about the artists of Solar Records and the days of Soul Train. Tune in again next time for more FWS-Ferris Wheel Soul.

Today's topic: Shorty Long-Function at the Junction.
Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to The Ferret. The count about sounds… about songs from the music charts. Today we're going to talk about Shorty Long and his song Function at the Junction.
Shorty Long was a soul singer songwriter musician and record producer for Motown soul records imprint.He was inducted into the Alabama jazz Hall of Fame in 1980.
I like Shorty Long's song Function at the Junction released in 1966.It's a classic and soul song. It was a very popular hit. It has a catchy tune. The song is on his 1968 debut studio album album: Here Comes the Judge. The song might make you think of a gathering or people getting together for something. Function at the Junction was written by Shorty Long and Eddie Holland.

Story by: Gail Nobles
Hello everyone! Welcome again to the Ferret. I'm Gail Nobles and today's topic is Ashford and Simpson-Coke commercial. They were a husband and wife songwriting production recording duo composed of Nicholas Ashford and Valerie Simpson. You may remember them from their biggest hit Solid from the 11 studio album Solid .The album peaked at number one on the US R&B albums chart. You might remember songs from them like Count Your Blessings, Street Corner, Found A Cure & more.
I've enjoyed Ashford & Simpson’s songs and seeing them perform together. The way they have sung together looked as if they really had love for each other.
Did you know that they were in a 1980 Coke commercial together? I considered it a wonderful classic as well. Commercials aren't made like they were made back then. There are some things you just don't forget, and that's how commercials were made. They were made in a way you didn't forget them.
The commercial took place in a recording studio. Ashford had two Cokes and walked up to Simpson to hand her one while she was playing the piano. It put her more in the mood to sing with Ashford, and the band members began to play their instruments. When you were done watching the commercial, you were left in a great mood with them. The commercial put you in the mood to sing and this very day I remember it. I still remember Ashford and Simpson.

Do we have any Rod Stewart fans out there? How many remember Rod Stewart in the 70s? Rod Stewart remained at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for 17 weeks during the 1970s. He is among the best selling music artist of all time having sold more than 120 million records worldwide. He has had 10 number-one albums and 31 top-ten singles in the UK. Six of which reached number one. Stewart has had 16 top-ten singles in the US with four reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
Rod Stewart's first hit song was Maggie May released 1971. There were other hits like Hot Legs released in 1978, You Wear It Well in 1972. The hit song I remember most in the 70s is Da Ya Think I'm Sexy released in 1978. It was from Stewart's nineth studio album Blondes Have More Fun. It was written by Stewart Appice and Duane Hitchings.
The song was released as the first single from Blondes Have More Fun in November 1978. It spent one week atop the UK Singles Chart in December 1978 and four weeks atop the US Billboard Hot 100 in February 1979. Billboard ranked it number four on its Top Singles of 1979 year-end chart. It also topped the charts in Canada for four weeks and in Australia for two weeks.
I played Rod Stewart’s song to death when I was a little girl. My mother and father had the 45 record. I loved the music and the bridge of the song when Rod Stewart said: His heart is beating like a drum because it lasts he's got this girl home.” He was telling a story, and there was something about the music and Rod's voice in that spot. I always waited for that part of the song.
I'm Gail Nobles and you're listening to The Ferret. Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you'll come back to Tune in next time.

Intro by: Gail Nobles
Before the New Edition’s Candy girl, it was the Sylvers's Cotton Candy. Hello! I'm Gail nobles. Welcome to The Ferret. Everyone wanted that bubblegum pop music sound. That catchy an upbeat style. The Sylvers had that sound during the 1970s. I love the song Cotton Candy from the album Showcase. It was number 19 on the Billboard RnB chart.
The Sylvers had the Jackson 5 magic. They were a very popular group. A family vocal group. A large vocal group. There were nine of them. Five guys and four girls all together.
You can see them performed the song Cotton Candy on YouTube and can see their other videos such as Hotline and Boogie Fever.
Where are they now? You can follow Leon Sylvers III at Leonsylvers.com. He’s a producer, writer, and singer. You can check out his bio.
