• 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
