The Three Degrees - Dirty ol'man (Ruud's Extended 2022 Moulton Edit)

In 1973 The Three Degrees (line up: Fayette Pinkney, Sheila Ferguson and Valerie Holiday) were signed to Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff's Philadelphia International Records. The first album they recorded for the label was simply called: 'The Three Degrees'. The first single of that album was: 'Dirty ol' man'. The song went to number one in The Netherlands as well as in Belgium: the first number one hit (and golden record) ever for The Three Degrees.
I edited the song quite a bit, using the Tom Moulton Mix). I managed to remove a few little flaws which appeared to be in the master. I speeded the song up a bit, I added a new beat and a new intro. To my (humble) opinion the song sounds fresh again.
For the video I used footage from the BBC TV show 1975. Since that was a live recording (The Three Degrees used and still use to sing live) and I used the studio recording for my edit, I did my best to synchronize the lipps as much as possible.
This video has been out before, but I discovered some flaws in the audio, so this is a 're-do'.

Im a 31 black 90s kid from Philadelphia who stumbled upon this group by seeing them appear on an episode of Sanford & Son and I've been hooked to them since. I'm a Disco music hobbyist and glad there a love for the genre still. Stay groovy.

Is there anybody reading these comments on this account because I remember listening to this remix single yesterday two times and I really like the three women who sang that single back in the 70s because I really love them in this video because of the way they dressed, and the way they smile and dance throughout the video.

[@RuudMixer]

Thank u for your comment. I usually read all the posts on my account, but not every day 😔

Disco at its best

[@AndyG13GLA]

RA: This mix kicks off with a “Groovejet”esque intro then seamlessly extends this stormer with magnificent orchestral sweeps, some delicious percussion & some “take us to the church of disco heaven” 70’s organ keyboards, along with the honeyed harmonies from the vocals of the Three Degrees. Throw in some nicely edited visuals & this becomes the reasons we come to KZbin. A great Disco Classic with a fresh entertaining take for over 11 minutes. A must for all fans of great extended disco mixes. 🎼👍

[@RuudMixer]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Ulkian]

Really love the “Groovejet”-esque intro, too!! Brilliant! 🤩

[@user-fn2vp1sw1h]

@@Ulkian : This was made about 20 years before any groove jets. Furthermore MFSB is an orchestra !

[@Ulkian]

@@user-fn2vp1sw1h I do know who MFSB are... And the "Groovejet" Intro is from Carol Williams' Love is you from 1976 and Dirty ol' man came out in 1973, so it fits perfectly well.

Wow, man you've done a great job with this. Been doing a deep deep dive back through my childhood, and the magic that was 70's pop culture.

[@RuudMixer]

Thank you for your compliment. Much appreciated!

[@peterdoring7521]

Well done, Ruud! You put in some nice stuff in between which makes the song shine!

[@rodolfo41016]

MFSB with The Three Degrees the best performance!!!!

Classic thank you for bringing back this Groove it's a Gem . When this song came out I was already playing music I can't say I was a DJ yet because at that point I only had like ,8 creates of records I would always collect 2 copies I wanted to make everything longer or different. As time went by I took it to a huge level see I didn't have Turntables so all my vinyl was yes being collected I will put everything in order . By 1980 I ran in to a nice amount of cash my Goal To buy me a pair of Thoren turntable. I don't know if i spelled it right. But it didn't happen I had to wait I lived in n NYC at that time every Big time DJ would have them The Gallery, Loft, Paradise garage, But back then I almost purchased the techniques 1800 it was very heavy something about them made me think. I had 1,300 Dollar on me I seen the 12.00 MK2 and they was like what I really wanted . I would see those Turntables on TV or Videos they was the most chosen Turntables Hip hop,Disco, many DJs had them believe me those Turntables are still with me the one problem was after so many years I had to change the RCA plugs that's common, you could not pull the RCA wire off or out like we other electronics the RCA plugs with solder into the turntable was job the time from pulling and twisting and all that stuff, you would hear a little hum or a little sound from your right or left RCA plugs that's it . Any way I also had a Altec Mixer I could now wait anymore once I had all my equipment plugged in now I have plenty of Vine and they all new because I was a collector That's when I already knew how to match so easy cause back then we would have playlists that match but know I had speed control and knew how to count my BPMS. Sorry I went so long this one record took me back .

[@RuudMixer]

Nice that my ‘homework’ brought back those memories 🙏🏻
