Up, Up And Away (HD)

Показать описание

♪ Up, Up and Away is a 1967 song written by Jimmy Webb and recorded by The 5th Dimension, that became a major pop hit, reaching #7 on the U.S. Pop Singles. The smooth single was well-accepted by adult contemporary stations, peaking at #9 on Billboard's Easy Listening Top 40.

A canonical example of sunshine pop, themed around images of hot air ballooning, it cleaned up at the Grammy Awards of 1968, winning for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, Other Pop/Rock&Roll/ Contemporary Awards or Instrumental, and the big prizes of Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

No copy infraction intended on my videos.

Ed Sullivan must have loved this song; for on this day in 1969 {May 18th} the 5th Dimension performed it for the third time on his Sunday night CBS-TV program...
The first time the quintet sang it on the 'Sullivan' show was January 28th, 1968 and then again two months later on March 10th, 1968...
"Up, Up and Away" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 on May 28th, 1967; five weeks later July 2nd, 1967 it peaked at #7 (for 3 weeks) and it stayed on the chart for 12 weeks...
Original group member Ron Townson passed away on August 2nd, 2001 at the age of 68...
R.I.P. to Mr. Townson and Mr. Sullivan...
