• Bob from New JerseyWhen I went to Yalta in the Ukraine on the BlackSea in the mid 1970’s, I met a beautiful Ukranian-Russian girl, Sveta, and every time I hear this song, it reminded me of her
• Forbes from NyWas When Will I See You Again used in a film or a tv show?
• Seventhmist from 7th HeavenInteresting that the TD never made much of a splash after this, though they've lasted and lasted and I think, are still going in 2020 with two of the original members still in place.
• Tony from San DiegoSuch a sexy and smooth song. Got to love MFSB
• Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn December 8th, 1974, "When Will I See You Again" by the Three Degrees peaked at #2 (for 1 week) and spent 18 weeks on the Top 100...It reached #1 (for 2 weeks) on August 17th, 1974 on the United Kingdom Singles chart...And on December 14th, 1974 it also peaked at #1 (for 1 week) on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart...On Billboard's Hot Black Singles chart is reached #4...(The song that kept it out of the top spot on the Top 100 was "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas).
• Jeff from Indianapolis, InReminds me of a special girl. This was our song. Should have hung on to her and not let her go.
• George from Louisville, Ky Met a young lady right when this first came out. She played it for me at her place that night. And yes, I did see her again. Terri, if you're out there, I have never forgotten you.
• John from Nashville, TnThis was the Three Degrees second (and last) top 40 pop hit. The first was their version of the old Chantels classic "Maybe". It was released on Roulette Records and went to #30.
• Michael from Chicago, IlI've heard that the Three Degrees were invited to perform at the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana - and, don't forget, the vocals on the 'SOUL TRAIN' theme, performed by MFSB, are also the Degrees ..
• Jonnie from St. Louis, MoWhat many people forget is that "The Three Degrees" was the group that was featured in the Nightclub Scene of the Academy Award Winning Classic Film "The French Connection" ! This was a few years BEFORE "When Will I See You Again" was recorded. (Watch for that scene the next time you see the film.)Jonnie King/St. Louis
