What Happened to The 5th Dimension?

[susanwest]

I was a flight attendant in 1967 and was lucky to serve them on one of my flights they were all so nice. I've been a fan forever!

Wonderful individual singers and together produced great harmonies. What strikes me about this biography of the group is how there is no negative history, no drug addiction, alcoholism, abuse, rehabs, interventions, illicit love affairs, not even ego conflicts or differences of artistic opinion.Just seems like five very happy, successful, well adjusted people. So different from the usual rocknroll story. Very nice if true, but seems too good to be so.

Marilyn McCoo, one of the greatest singers of all time--an incredibly beautiful tone.

[michaelboyd]

Marilyn is a timeless beauty and talent. The complete Goddess!

[kevindoran]

Always thought Marilyn was gorgeous. She still is. Great band.

[sherryhall]

Wedding bell blues was a favorite of mine when I was little. That is a good song I still listen to.

[garyburke]

The 5th Dimension are NOT in the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame. Make a video about that!

"Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis Too" was a summer variety show that was a HUGE success.

I was fortunate enough to hear them in concert in 1970. Incredible!

[buffalopatriot]

They were a huge part of a Golden Age of music. Magical.

The Fifth Dimension were fantastic singers. My mother whom was a Music Teacher's Consultant for a Board of Education in Canada, used the 5D Best of... album as part of her lesson-plans for late 60s and early 70s grades 6 to 8 students. She told me she was drawn to the 5D sound as the group could always maintain perfect pitch and carry a harmonized melody better than any other popular recording artist of the day. Beautiful songs, which are timeless, I still have that Fifth Dimension best of... album in my record collection. One of the many bands I wanted see 'live' yet never did.

They had a hauntingly beautiful sound which made them one of my favorite bands of all time. They make up much of my playlist. Thank you for doing this wonderful video.

M. McCoo's rendition of ' One Less Bell ' is one of the best performances of ANY song by ANY artist in ANY genre. She just GETS IT !! There's no alteration you could make that wouldn't lessen it.

Most of their hits were covers of Laura Nyro originals: Wedding Bell Blues, Stoned Soul Picnic, Sweet Blindness, Save the Country, Blowin' Away, Blackpatch. Nyro's Eli's Comin' was a top 10 hit for Three Dog Night. In November 1969 Nyro songs were at 1, 2 and 10 on Billboard - Wedding Bell Blues (5D), And When I Die (Blood Sweat and Tears), Eli's Comin' (Three Dog Night).

Absolutely beautiful and excellent analysis of the best vocal band ever...the friends of distinction is also another great vocal force

Loved them in the 60s and still really enjoy hearing them in 2022

[jamesscarselletta]

They always were "working on a groovy thing." I always loved their songs. A great story.

[prestoman]

Great job! My cousin had all their albums, I was just a little kid but loved them. Marilyn McCoo is as smooth as silk.
