one of the great's songs ever made the 5th dimension should be in the rock and roll hall of fame

I just heard this on 'Soultown', SiriusXM Radio and turned it up, loud. An incredible vocal arrangement, mix and recording. But this isn't a 'live' vocal performance; there's another video of them(this performance) with live mics and the studio orchestra. But guess what? It doesn't matter, they all completely nail their vocal parts and harmonies. Tone and pitch perfect. A Classic by any measure. Bravo~!

Great great song by the amazing Laura Nyro. But if I ever meet Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. again, I’ll be sure to ask who was the brilliant mastermind behind these outfits! 😂
