Fayette Pinkney BEMA Award 

Fayette was a talent to be reckoned with! Such a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. I really miss hearing her voice with The Three Degrees. RIP Queen.

Amen God's grace and mercy

Hey that's me giving her the award and announcing her. She is a great lady and I will always love her. She will forever live in my heart.

As a little Japanese kid, The Three Degrees were the first female Afro-American entertainers to see. I was very impressed and adored their singing and their beautiful looks . They were the best known and popular black women in Japan at that time . Thank you Ms Pinkney for great entertainment. you did a great job spreading good images all over the world!

当時のマネージャーのリチャードのせいでディグリーズは美しい高音を失った。これを見て少しは救われた気がする。どうか天国で安らかに眠って下さい。

What a beautiful brave woman , an inspiration and her talking voice is so soothing

Listen to how many times she mentions God here. A true believer, great example to young people, and I am sure she is with the Lord now.

Being a long time fan of THE THREE DEGREES, i will cherish what they accomplished as 3 black perfomers, there style, there beauty and there well mannered polished stage presents on or off stage. Am very delighted that Fayette was part of all that and made us fans sing along to there records when they were released. She will deeply be missed and lots of love goes out to the fans for the videos to watch on RU-vid with Fayette. Thanks for the memories girrrlfriend. A THREE DEGREE FOREVER.......RIP

What a wonderful, wonderful woman. When you see this, you can tell she was a nice, kind woman possessing a warm heart. Rest in peace, Fayette.

Fayette, Fayette, Fayette, why leaving us ??? Seems that the Lord needs you for other things. Thanks for giving us your music !

so good to see this video. she was so lovely and i will always listen to her music like i did for so many years. dear fayette rip

Loved her voice and thought she was so attractive....the group was never the same without her

RIH Fayette I'm glad she was honored one last time before she went home to glory but I do wish she reunited with the group one last time though her soaring angelic soprano was such a intergal part in the groups harmonies and she could sing her face off you are missed Ms. Fayette

Thank you from a bottom of my heart for your songs and my memories my sweet black Angel. Fly high in your heaven Fayette.

Within every group we have our favorite. Fayette was my favorite, although i loved the group as a whole. They were so talented, it was ashamed they did not find the same fame as the supremes.

Any one of these ladies could sing lead and sound good. Loved this group.

dear all 3degrees fans from the first hour. rest sweet Fayette, thanks for being here for us! We will love your life. roberto dresia

So sad she died, beautiful lady, member of the legendary Three Degrees, she should have never left the group just like Sheila Ferguson, my no.1 favorite. You could say Fayette is my 2nd favorite. The day of her passing was a sad day.

Brought a tear to my eye. God bless you, Fayette.

Rip greatness Amen 🙏🏻 🇵🇷🇺🇸❤️🙏🏻.

Isn't it a pity...(lead vocal by lovely Fayette)... that she is not still with us, sharing her beauty, her heart, and her angelic voice!

Seeing her here makes me smile. She's forever with us. Luv you, Fay.

love all three,sweet voices ,god looks truly bless and gilfted(love you Fayette)

a beautiful speech.....rip beautiful lady x

I worked at a copy place in the 80s and faye was the head secretary she use to send me to deliver packages.

Praise God The 3 Degrees

Beautiful lady!!

No one & nothing " lasts forever"; songs bring back & keep memories alive of " lost loves" & " special times together". Like " when I was 17" by Frank Sinatra( reminds me of my parents & family living together in " harmony" in suburban East Meadow, B4 the winds of change took all away forever. " Words"(BEE GEES) & " THEY WAY WE WERE"(B.STREISSAND) r " ALL I HAVE TO SAY, TO TAKE UR HEART AWAY"; SO" "WE WILL REMEMBER THE WAY WE WERE".

What a beautiful woman, and what a beautiful spirit she conveyed, I fell in love with her when The Three Degrees appeared on the 70's sitcom, "Sanford & Son", and sang to Fred Sanford, lol, he tickled her so much. May the "Most High" allow you and your baby girl, Ayana Alexandria, to R.I.P. together always, Ms. Fayette Pinkney...

I do thank you for introducing philly soul music into Japan.

I first saw the three degrees in 1971 I was in the tenth grade and they the movie The French Connection I've been a fan ever since I know they would go on to be the best rest in peace Fayette love always

SOLD MORE RECORDS THEN THE " SUPREEMES" & " THE SHIRELLES" REST IN PEACE:" PINKNEY FAYETTE(DIES IN 1991}{THE PUBLIC QUICKLY FORGETS THE BEST"}

One of the great singer of the three degree and sheila is the number one.

World Wide Love for the Three Degrees!

🎶🎶🎵🎵🎤🎶🎇🎆👑👏👏👏💞💖😘😘😘 For ever Fayette!!!!

I miss your friendship... RIP..

Such a Beautiful Classy Lady, RIP Angel....

Great vocalists.Gone beyond but not forgotten. 😇💚🙏🏼 🎙️🎼🎵🎶🎹🎸🎺🥁🎧

This is the quality, talent, respectful and classy performer you get when we follow Judeo-Christian values and morals people. Fayette and the rest of the Three Degrees are/were cultured and educated Blacks. Blacks in the 1970's were much different than today. It seems that the progressive liberal democrats have suppressed Black advancement and took it down to lower and lower levels to where now we have nothing but blight and dysfunction. So very sad : ( RIP Fayette you were a Blessing to all!

Thank you for this video because l wouldn't have seen it anywhere. It is bittersweet though & makes me wish she were here. So pretty & classy. I love to watch their movements while they sang , the hand gestures were soft & flowing. RIP Fayette, you & your little one. GOD Bless & thanks for the entertainment.

A classy Female Group

Congratulations*

I just wonder why Sheila Ferguson did not come to attend this event along with other members of The Three Degrees.

I thought she passed young , y did she leave the group ?

THE THREE LEGENDS/ICONS !!!

'The Three degrees'..the first album I bought....I was a 10 year old oddball kid living in central Louisiana in late 1974....I heard this glorious song on the radio, 'When will I see you again'..the arrangement, the harmonies..so beautiful! I listened closely for the name of the group, saved my allowance for a month, then went and bought the album for $4.99 at JC Penny's! It was the best 5 bucks I ever spent!! RIP, Fayette, and to the surviving Degrees....Sheila, Helen, Freddie(yes, you are a DEGREE!!) and the heart of the group...VALERIE!!! Job Well DONE!!!!
