The song—who sings it?
The commercial for The Farmer’s Dog uses a song titled The Golden Lady, performed by the female vocal trio The Three Degrees.
The Three Degrees are an American R&B/disco vocal group originally formed in Philadelphia in the 1960s.
Historical background on the song
“The Golden Lady” was released in 1979 as part of the soundtrack for the film The Golden Lady.
It was recorded by The Three Degrees, composed by Sheila Ferguson (who also was a member of The Three Degrees) and composer Georges Garvarentz.
In the UK it charted, reaching No. 56.
Why this song in the ad?
The Farmer’s Dog’s marketing team selected this 1979 track to pair with their visual of a silky-fur dog and fresh food imagery. The nostalgic, soulful sound of The Three Degrees gives the piece an elegant, slightly retro feel, which aligns with the tone of premium pet-food branding.
Campaign commentary states: “Golden Lady” by The Three Degrees.
What to expect if you listen more closely
If you pay attention when the commercial says “Shimmering… glimmering… that’s the golden lady,” you’ll hear the backing vocals and instrumentation reflective of late-70s soul/disco. Reddit users noticed this line in the ad and identified the song thanks to its recognizable hook.
The Three Degrees’ version is built around lush harmonies and disco era production.
Rights, licensing & other details
Using a song from 1979 typically means the brand (The Farmer’s Dog) had to license either the master recording or a re-recorded version, plus synchronize the composition with the commercial. The presence of the exact backing track suggests the original recording of The Three Degrees was used.
The track itself is part of The Three Degrees’ discography: “The Golden Lady (UK and Continental Europe only release)”.
Final takeaway
So, in short: the voice you hear in the “golden lady” line is that of The Three Degrees. They sing the track “The Golden Lady,” licensed for use by The Farmer’s Dog in their ad campaign.
