"When Will I See You Again" is a
song released in 1974 by American soul group The Three Degrees, from
their third album The Three
Degrees. The song was written and produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff.
Sheila Ferguson sang the lead, accompanied by Fayette Pinkney and Valerie Holiday. Billboard named the song #67 on their list of
100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.
Sheila
Ferguson recalled that "the song was played to me by Kenny Gamble at the
piano in 1973 and I threw a tantrum. I screamed and yelled and said I would
never sing it. I thought it was ridiculously insulting to be given such a
simple song and that it took no talent to sing it. We did do
it and several million copies later, I realized that he knew more than
me." She would later have a #60 hit with a solo remake of the track in
1994. The song is unique in that every sentence is a question, heightening the
overall effect and emotion. The Three Degrees performed the song at Prince Charles' 30th
birthday party at Buckingham Palace in 1978.

Precious moments
When will I see you again?
When will we share precious moments?
Will I have to wait forever?
Will I have to suffer (suffer)
And cry the whole night through?
When will I see you again?
When will our hearts beat together?
Are we in love or just friends?
Is this my beginning or is this the end?
(Is this the end?)
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
When will I see you again
Hah, hoo
Precious moments
