From hair
Those happy hippy trippy days
That's some going David, thanks for another great fact
JULIE BOWNESS Davo rocks, mate!! 💖💖💖
Nice fact ✨👌
The harmonies in this song are nothing short of perfection. Seriously.
STUNNINGGGGGGGG
I love it for its feel good factor.
Yup, they all display such high energy, all have perfect timing and all beautiful voices individually, which combine to make magic!!! Can’t hurt that is absolutely is a feel good kinda song, uplifting and fun! However, done by another more mediocre artist might have sounded cheesy, but this group is just freaking superb!!! They could probably sing the phone book and have made it a hit 😂
Infinite chord combinations
@@NativeNYerChicHK aligning 😉💚
Back when this song first came out, many of us actually believed that we had entered an age of peace and love. Sadly, it didn't last, but while it did, it was truly amazing.
Really. That's true. I thought we were entering the age of aquarius and things would be permanently better. Some improvements lasted, though.
We are just on the cusp of The Age of Aquarius. It will last for 2,000 years. If humanity puts in the work it will get there. The Laws and Principles of the Aquarian Age, briefly, are: Right Human Relations, Goodwill ,Group Endeavour, Unanimity, Spiritual Approach and Essential Divinity. Check out The Ageless Wisdom Teachings by Alice Bailey and DK.
When I was young and this song was a big hit, I really believed we were past wars and other horrible, destructive human behaviors. Pretty damn naïve from my perspective as an old man seeing how wrong I was. Now I believe it is just an integral part of human nature to resist what I still consider to be higher values and behaviors. Our technology and environment continues to change but the base instincts stubbornly remain.
It FELT like we did!
For that brief shining moment in time. 🌞💕🌷

⭕️ This beeeeeautoful song is from the Age when Covid and Floyd were conceived in the womb of Marxism.
“Age of Aquarius” is actually the building of ‘the tower of Babel’.
Or putting into practice the advice of the serpent on the tree in the garden of Eden.
“You don’t need God, you can be like God”, he said.
WEF, Obama, China, the turncoat Deep State. In short Marxism. Neo Marxism. Pragmatic and cunning, as opposed to the dogmatic and clumsy previous
form/Iterations of it.
If dancing to this song in the middle of traffic naked is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
Lol!!
That’s hilarious and also TRUE!! You had to be there, as they say…..😂
@@pattya796 I wish we could go back in time. We have lost our innocence. Life now is too crazy. Growing up in the 70s was such a beautiful simple time.
My neighbours disagree
I just died...
Many songs in this time period were about peace love and harmony. Everyone needs to focus on it again.
✌🏼❤️🌞🌸☮️
Most definitely
Oh wow! That’s nice to know!
It really should ☮️🕊
Without all the dippy hippie New Age crap.
I completely agree. ✌😁
Amen!😁👍
Jovaughn, this song is from the play HAIR which ran decades ago. The 5th Dimension did this so well. Marilyn McCoo has a fabulous voice. Try their hit One Less Bell to Answer. Thanks for this memory.
These two songs bookend the record of the Hair: Original Broadway Cast Recording as well.
Took a cute girl and we went and saw Hair on stage when I was back in college. Great time. Her Mom wasn't so keen on the idea though.
I used to play pit for school shows, my college did a production of Hair and they had the band up on stage on a flatbed truck, one of my favorite memories of playing music anywhere. Such a fun (mostly fun) show.
lynn smith Jovaughn, I think you may have already reacted to “Easy to Be Hard” by Three Dog Night which is also from Hair. If not, you should check it out. Another great song from that show is “Good Morning Starshine” by Oliver. That will put a smile on your face.
@@georgert It was controversial at the time - first Broadway show to feature nudity as well as drug use. They were supposed to do a live television version of it in 2019 (similar to the Jesus Christ Superstar, The Sound of Music and others they have done over the past few years). It was cancelled due to complaints about the show glorifying drug use. Some things never change. I was so disappointed!
That switch from one song to the other remains brilliant to this day
I call it "The Bridge to Forever" because it never returns!
When this song came out, I was 19 years old and I wore flowers in my hair. With Peace and Love, may we live long and prosper. ❤🖖😎
And I'm even an Aquarius!
This song has special significance for me. I went to see 'Hair' when I was home on leave before being sent to Viet Nam. This was at the Aquarius Theater in Hollywood, CA. This song brought the house down! Still gives me chills.
My mom 👵🏻 had a few 5th Dimension albums when she was in her early 30’s in the late 60’s but we kids liked them too and LOVED this song !! 😝
Ah, the late 60’s. Peace and Flower Power!
What the Hell happened?
PLEASE react to their big hit "Wedding Bell Blues "! I know you'll love it ❤
we had such high hopes...............
Amen 🌻⚘
Going to San Fransisco with a flower in your hair 🌸
A true hippie song
yep
yeeeeaaahhh
Also a true Happy Song!
Jayvee, you earn bonus points for being virtually the only UA-camr to react to this underrated classic. Well done! This is one of the greatest bass lines ever.
This bass line is epic
Joe Osborn
Or Jayvee could go and get a job? Instead of living of the ad revenues of this crap. Just asking...?
it is classic, so it is not undrrated
@@mchristhomas who says he doesn't have a job? Nobody. And if you think this is crap, why are you here? There was no need for your a*hole comment.
Its one of those records you wish it would never end!
Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr. had a hit as a couple called ' You Don't Have to be a Star"
LA Music Lover Great song!!!!
Yes yes
and it hit the Billboard 100 at number 1 for4 weeks in 1977
I had a huge crush on Marilyn McCoo when I was younger. The 5th Dimension had a lot of great songs and had great harmonies.
They are still married 50 years later.
The dawning of the age of Aquarius. Nothing changed. This came out in 68 a very dark time in the country . Everyone liked it because it was so happy compared to the dark reality.
the age of aquarius doesnt start until 2150
Except this is what we're going through right now. You have to get rid of the dark/old to make way for a new age. We are ascending from 3/4D into 5D as humans altho these constellations have been aligned many times, the energy shift came in around 2012.
@@durv13 The energy started around 2012 but yes, there is a lot of work to do before we get to the golden age.
@@shelter9236 exactly . but it wont be until 2150 that its all sorted out . obviously theres going to be a huge adjustment to be made .i mean religion has poisoned the world for at least 2000 years . gonna need alot of stain remover to get rid of it . i wont be around then . but it's gonna be a long time coming . then maybe , just maybe the world might have a chance . atm were just wiping it out . and ourselves along with it . GOD doesnt work . we need to get back to nature .
im by no means a hippie lol . im definitely not a churchie lol ... in fact i dont need a title to appreciate the world as it is and the wonders that make it work . just seeing it is amazing and realising how insignificant we really are :-P
Jay...This song came from the Musical "Hair" and was one of the best songs in the show. The reason everyone is singing here is that when the song was done in the show the entire cast sung it. The 5th Dimension really did a great arrangement and brought the song to the mainstream radio popular audience.
Not just the Theater goers.
It's a shame that most groups today just don't have the talent we all took for for granted back then in the 70's. I'm glad you discovered it. The 5th Dimension were one of the best singing acts back in those days. *cheers*
Yes great arrangement. The opening song and the closing Song of the hair put together. They made a better arrangement of the closing song going to stage play so the stage play change let the sunshine into their arrangement.
I think that subliminally this is a call to Christ. The first is a promise (mind’s true liberation) with Aquarius representing Christ’s Living Waters. The second is a call to let Christ in. Let the sun ( Son, Jesus) shine in. Open up your heart! When you’re alone let Jesus shine in. The last scene looks to me like the Sermon on the Mount. At the very end, Jesus is the “light of the world” (John 8:12) and the young woman is running towards Christ’s salvation. This is a very Christian group, you had it right when you said it felt like church. This song was loved by everyone all over the world. You can see why God blessed these beautiful people with this wonderful song.
@@CO2isfake me too...I have always said this, Jesus will come in, if we are patient. God says we will eat the good of the land..... Let HIM shine in all of our lives if I may suggest....
Marilyn McCoo had one of the most amazing female voices of that decade. Maybe of any decade. And together their harmonizing was as good as any group or duo around.
Many great songs by the Fifth Dimension:
One Less Bell to Answer
Wedding Bell Blues
Stone Soul Picnic
Up, Up and Away
Working on a Groovy Thing
You Don't Have to Be a Star (by married members Marylin McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.)
Wedding Bell Blues and Stoned Soul Picnic, written by Laura Nyro. Check her out Jay.
Great playlist!
Yes, yes and YES!!! Here's your list right here for next Fifth Dimension songs Jayvee.
And even this is just a start.❤❤❤
A lot of their songs were remakes. This song is from the musical Hair . Some of their biggest hits were written by a singer-songwriter of the seventies named Laura Nyro, who is amazing on her own. Barbra Streisand recorded some of her songs, for example Stony End was one of her big hits
What about " Last Night I Never got to Sleep at all? "
Marilyn McCoo is one of the most beautiful ladies ever !!
Easily😍
Yep, as a Brummie I'd go with that, beautiful voice too.
ain't no one on that stage anything less than stunning
She’s amazing!!!!
Facts. Definitely was a childhood crush.
The Fifth Dementions were so ahead of their time with this song. The song explains what the age of Aquarius is. Everything about this song speaks to spiritually, from the mystical music to the lyrics that accompany it, makes you want to rise and be apart of the experience. I love & still enjoy the 5th Dementions❣
Ps... perhaps " Stone Soul Picnic " would be a good choice for the next song 🎶
The entire group is so very talented in their own right. As a teen Ronald Townson toured with Dorothy Dandridge and Nat King Cole, and he had a part in the movie Porgy and Bess. He auditioned for the Metropolitan Opera and started his own Gospel choir. So talented.
Last Night I Didn't Get To Sleep At All is my fave with this one
Michael Asay Two great songs!
Awesome choice!
Loved this song from when I was young!
I was 5 when this song came out in 1969! I sang along to the chorus. I love how it changes tempo. It was made for the play *Hair*. It was pretty controversial because the cast got naked. ✌😁
Me too, I also like Carpet Man, great harmonies!
This is from a musical called “Hair”. Very popular and controversial in the ‘60’s. Lots of great music came out of it.
I liked Jesus Christ Superstar too.
The soundtrack version of "Good Morning Starshine" also has wonderful harmonising
Milos Forman directed the movie adaptation of the musical
@@JulioLeonFandinho He also directed "Amadeus"!
Let the sunshine in always makes me think about end scene of “Hair” and just makes me cry a little. Peace and love!
The first time I heard this song, and when they transitioned from, this is the age of Aquarius, to the , let the sunshine in, bit I couldn't belive what I was hearing. And every time that I hear it, that element of the song hasn't dissapated. Incredible song
I'm an Aquarius and my mom played this song for me all time. So many fond memories of listening to this and always loved Marilyn McCoo's voice. Another beautifully written and produced song of days gone by. They kill it!
Up Up and Away is another song from them that's worth a listen.
When I listen to this song I think of the old TWA airline that used Up Up and Away in their commercials back in the late 60s
Awesome, feel-good song!
Great vibes
Randy Torres And in Australia, it was the TV commercial for local,airline, TAA.
up up and away one of my favorites of all time!!
Probably the best vocals group EVER!!! The beautiful Marilyn McCoo and Florence LaRue. This is so special & much needed today. Thanks Jay!! 💗
You cant feel bad with this song, it does reach Nirvana! I am so glad that your enjoying and keeping this music alive. PEACE!
Shout out to the late Joe Osborn of L.A.'s Wrecking Crew on bass, Tommy Tedesco on guitar, Larry Knechtel on keyboards, Hal Blaine on drums--the same team behind many of the Beach Boys and Partridge Family hits, among many others.
that Bass is a sound from heaven.
Brother's Johnson "Strawberry Letter 23"
Oh yes
Yes! And "Stomp".
Fish Kungfu Stomp is fantastic!
Yes! One of my favorite songs from the 70s. ✌
Everybody take it to the top we gonna Stomp all night, in your neighborhood, gonna feeeeel alright....❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think their rendition of 'One Less Bell to Answer' is great and their version of Laura Nyro's songs, 'Stone Soul Picnic' and 'Sweet Blindness' were huge hits in 1968.
"Wedding Bell Blues "was another Nyro song by 5th Dimension.
Laura Nyro was a hellava songwriter. She composed her first song when she was in her teens. She also wrote Eli's Coming recorded by Three Dog Night, And When I Die by Blood, Sweat and Tears, Stoney End recorded by Barbara Streisand and so many more. Sadly Laura passed away in her late forties from Ovarian cancer as did her mother. RIP Laura, we love and thank you for your beautiful music and you are missed so very much.
I wish more folks knew about Laura Nyro both as a songwriter and a performer!
This song was released in early 1969...a very eventful period of my life at 10 yrs old! Those 5 awesome voices along with that great orchestration...no wonder it was a hit!
Dude, your reaction was priceless. I was like: what’s he gonna do when Let the Sunshine In comes on and I could tell it really touched you. Those beautiful, wonderful people, the 5th Dimension, have really touched my heart and I’m glad they did the same for you.
Great reaction! The man singing solo is Billy Davis jr. He is married to the woman in the group that was next to him. She is Marilyn Mccoo. I follow them on Instagram. I have commented on their page before. They actually reply back to you.
Lauana Simmons Please send them this reaction! They’ll probably love it! 😊
Yes please share this
FINNNNAAALLLLLY!!!!!!
Keep going!!! They were A HUGE part of the 60s radio sound!!!!
The two songs are from the Broadway musical Hair.
Wedding Bell Blues
Up Up and Away
Yeah man, this one is a true gem! This song defines the feeling of 1969 to me, I remember when it came out, and it was out of this world, I had never heard anything like it! Also, I hope you noticed that awesome bass line in the second part, it's amazing man it's got some serious groove!
This song has some of the best vocals! Damn it gives me goosebumps.
Marilyn McCoo was host of the show called Solid Gold that would have the top hits and singers every week. you can check those out on UA-cam too
Hahaha the Solid Gold Dancers!!
@@horsefootrot8044 LOLOLOL!! They even made it to the big screen in Scrooged!😁
She was also in the soap Days of Our Lives
Loved Marilyn and Andy Gibbs hosting and wanted to be a solid gold dancer as a preteen 💗
I seriously wish they'd put this series on dvd. I remember watching it for the Solid Gold dancers more than anything else. :)
The 5th Dimension is such an underrated group. My parents loved them and went to several of their shows.
They were very popular back then and won 8 Grammys
I hope you also see the movie this song is from. Hair is an amazing commentary on the era, the collision of the Vietnam War and the people who hoped 'Flower Power' would take the day. Sadly we are in more 'wars' than ever.
As far as the 5th Dimension is concerned, all amazingly talented people, great music. I wish we had more like them.
It's from a '60s play. That Miloš Forman movie came out in 1979.
They were an amazing singing group. Their harmonies were uncompromised.
Hippy-dippy music. Everything is cool as love rules the world. We had the right of it and sure need a good dose of this today. Beautiful reaction!
Wedding Bell Blues and One Less Bell To Answer, two more huge hits for them
I remember when this song came out and it still gives me goosebumps to this day! LOve It
"Aquarius" and "Let The Sunshine In" were 2 different songs from the Broadway musical HAIR. The 5th Dimension arranged it together to reiterate the fact that the age of Aquarius will usher in a new era of enlightenment (letting the sunshine in).
Gotta hear stone soul picnic...... by the fifth dimension so good
Marily McCoo's voice is absolutely beautiful. Check out One Less Bell to Answer.
And also Love, Line, Angles & Rhymes. Everything in that song is just genious and Marilyn McCoo (with the baking harmonies of the rest of The 5th Dimension of course) owns it.
This was the first musical mashup I ever heard. Taking two numbers from the stage musical and later film “Hair”, “Aquarius” and “Let The Sunshine In” The Fifth Dimension made this work magically. I got to see the stage musical at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami, in @1969, even with its nudity.
Released in March 1969...spent 6 weeks at #1 on the charts in the Spring of 1969....a CLASSIC!!!
Super happy you finally got around to this video, this song was a huge hit back in the day of us hippy minded generation.
I know I definitely had been waiting for someone to request this song. Phew. I'm better now.
From the musical Hair....also a great movie
This song won a Grammy in 1969 song of the year I think. It was a billboard number one for six straight weeks. It’s one of the first in my memory.
I love this song! It truly is the Age of Aquarius!
One of the many great songs from the musical “Hair”. Another great song from that show was the title song “Hair” as performed by the Cowsills.
The Cowsills are a amazing group.
The Cowsills were a family from Rhode Island, and they were the inspiration for the TV show The Partridge Family... but instead of using the group Cowsills for the show, they used Hollywood. The video version of them singing the song "The Rain, The Park, and Other Things" (1967) shows how young the children were then.
Both these songs were from the infamous Broadway musical HAIR, which was playing at the time. It was notorious because of its onstage nudity as well as its antiwar stance. It was genius to blend these two songs together with this group's excellent harmonies.
I love this. I think you may also like "Oh Happy Day", by the Edwin Hawkins singers. And, Wedding Bell Blues by the 5th Dimension is real good too,
They actually auditioned for Motown but were turned down because they were told they sounded too Mellow. It was 1967 and it was during Motown's Psychedelic Soul Era. They were also once called The Black Mamas & Papas. This was from The Broadway Musical Hair. In A Comic Strip called The Family Circus, Jeffy one the Four Children sang "This Is The Dawning Of The Age Of Asparagus".
Aquarius /Let The Sunshing In, are both songs from the hit broadway show HAIR from the 1960's. The show about hippies and their anti war protest thinking. Billy Davis Jr. who song the last of the song was the son of a baptist preacher and was use to ad-libbing in the choir. He was chosen to sing the end of the song and totally ad-libbed the whole thing at the the recording session. The 5th Dimension were really a very popular group. Other songs to check out from them are Up Up and Away, One Less Bell To Answer, Stone Soul Picnic, Working on a Groovy Thing and Sweet Blindness. Also you should check out the theme song HAIR, the broadway musical, that was also a huge hit for a group called The Cowsills.
Hair by the Cowsills is amazing. The video is fun.
...and The Cowsills were the real life inspiration for the TV singing family The Partridge Family. Just a bit of musical trivia.
I used to seriously have the hots for Marilyn McCoo. Watching this, I guess I still do.
Yep
Me too.
True confessions
Haha
Norm Weldon waited on her and billy many times in Beverly Hills. Beautiful and classy couple
that rhymed lol
The Fifth Dimension had CRAZY GOOD harmony! A fabulous group back in those days! ❤❤❤
Imagine being four years old and hearing this on the radio. Yeah, I had a good childhood.
This is a medley from the rock opera "Hair." Many young people kinda sorta believed it COULD be the dawning of a new age, after the nonstop turmoil died down. Where the phrase "New Age" (woowoo stuff) originates.
How naive we were...
People think it’s happening now too..in new age circles. Something is happening, but it’s not that
Try not be cynical. We are only on the cusp of the New Age. It will last for approximately 2,000 years. I study The Ageless Wisdom Teachings and The New Age is definitely NOT "woowoo stuff"
@@barnowl5774 Prove it, then.
Please react to: The 5th Dimension: -Wedding Bell Blues -Up, Up and Away
-Stone Soul Picnic - Last Night I Didn't Get To Sleep At All -One Less Bell to Answer -You Don't Have to Be a Star -Thanks!!!
Meg Delany Oh, I had forgotten about “Up Up and Away” GOOD song!
I was 6 years old when this song hit the airwaves, and remember my math teacher wearing a brown suede vest with the fringes. everyday damn day...oh, and his beads. Can't forget the beads. Love the song, and it stoking the memories of a carefree childhood.
Was same age. Our hippy bus driver was the same
JayVee, the majority of the Soul singers of the 60s and 70s started out singing in church. 🥰🎼💕
Oh man. This just put a big smile on my face. I was off grid for 10 years living in the forest and this song was on my playlist. I listened almost everyday. Thanks JV and peace everyone.
Why’d you come back? Lol. I’m about to get off the grid myself I think. Or I want to
@@laylascott6096 Didn't really want to leave but life circumstances forced my hand. I miss the quiet, the forest, the animals, the open fires, home grown food. I'll be moving to the mountains soon but it's not off grid. The highway's not too far unfortunately. But it's better than the city any day. Peace and good luck with your off grid adventure.
I bought this on 45 when it came out and played it until my ears bled. After about a month I traded it to a friend, who wanted it, for a 1950 Archie comic. Not sure if he still has the 45, but I still have the comic. The 5th Dimension did a fun song called "Wedding Bell Blues" which really showcased Marilyn McCoo's voice. It had some success and I think you would enjoy it. Thanks for the reaction. It brings back some memories.
I was born in the 70's, so had no idea about the musical Hair until maybe the late 80's when it was running on cable. I knew who Marilyn McCoo was....from Solid Gold, lol. It was years later before I knew about The 5th Dimension or that she was one of those golden voices.
One of my favorite reaction about this song...by the way, this song is amazing. Perfect harmony and message! ❤️
Wow, oh wow! My mom use to play this all the time when I was a kid. Still one of the 5th's best songs. Especially when "let the sun" kicks in!! Still gives me goose bumps:)
Aquarius, one of the songs from the 1967 Off-Broadway musical “Hair,” (1968 moved to Broadway), music by Galt MacDermot and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado. The R&B group 5th Dimension recorded this in 1969, adding another song “Let the Sunshine In” to the track, also from the same Broadway show.
Love these two songs from the musical "Hair". Aquarius started the movie and Let the Sunshine ended the movie.
Hey Jay! Thank you for finally getting around to the Fifth Dimension, a true classic group that you will have appreciate going down the rabbit hole with. "Sweet Blindness " and "Go where you wanna go " are 2 nuggets that are enjoyable.
Marilyn Mccoo and Bill Davis from the group had a #1 Song call "You don't have to be a Star"
I am an Aquarius and have always loved this song! Loved it in the musical/ movie Hair !! ❤️❤️❤️
Marilyn McCoo has such a beautiful voice, and they gave us some wonderful songs.😍
It's virtually impossible to feel bad while hearing this song! Loved it when I heard it in '69 and still love it. The song/s are from the Broadway musical "Hair." This cover by The 5th Dimension and another cover of the song "Easy to be Hard" by Three Dog Night really popularized "Hair" and a film version of the musical was released in 1979. The musical soundtrack is incredible, with numerous tracks covered by other artists over the years. Thanks so much for great memories!
I first heard this song when I was 8 years old, it is as relevant and timely in it's message of peace and hope today as it was 50 years ago. I still remember the 45rpm record I bought it for a dollar and "Wedding Bell Blues" was the side B, both great songs. Thank you for sharing your musical journey with us. New sub, 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ !
I love the bass line on Let The Sunshine In.
JV, love your reactions! Please keep 'em coming! I'm 64, grew up in the 60s and 70s, and something that often doesn't come across in history books and documentary films is the cheerful OPTIMISM of those otherwise dark times! But you can hear it in this great 5th Dimension song, and in the music of those times. Back then, it seemed to us young hippies that ANYTHING was possible! I still believe it!!!
Nice reaction video! I was a kid in the 1960s when this came out. I loved hearing it again and appreciating it again along with your reaction. So glad that the great music from those days is still reaching new audiences.
There was a very clean, very strong variety of LSD referred to as "sunshine" back in the day - for the minds true liberation.
@drag0nfly_girl lol. It can always be closed, as God is in charge. But yes, it does open you up to dangerous stuff, so does something as benign sounding as meditation though
The age of Aquarius is supposed to come it being December 21, 2020. The male lead sing is Bill Davis, Jr. The female singer with the bangs and the flip is his wife Marilyn McCoo. They left the group and performed as Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. Check out their duet I Hope We get to Love In Time.
there were no weak links in the 5th dimension. wonderful singing. marilyn mccoo and billy davis jr. can STILL blow! 🎶
The pot of great Afro/American music is bottomless and timeless.. what singers.. Proof we're still listening 50/60 yrs later ... you da man ....
Music like this will never die. But will never be made again
They were in that same genre as the Carpenter's, much like them, nearly every song was great.
From the hit musical of the 60's, A musical that represented our generation. HAIR.
Thank you for transporting me back to 1971 for a few minutes. The 5th Dimension can be summed up in two words: talent and class.
This is one of two massive worldwide hits from them! The fabulous lyrics sum up perfectly the feel of a golden decade! They followed 1967s Scott McKenzie -San Francisco- Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair! Paying tribute to the birthplace of Folk in America!
Raise your hand if you own a peace sign necklace.
Pam Chilton: My brother had one. Does that count? I had the suede fringed vest, a mood ring and go-go boots!
My aunt still owns one which was, allegedly, forged from spent bullets brought back from Vietnam.
@@cheryljackson5659 Yes, that counts, because I'm sure you wore it with your fringed vest, mood ring, & your go-go boots. 🙂✌
@@Ontir That's cool if it was, but, even if it wasnt forged from Vietnam bullets, your aunt's peace sign still sounds cool. 🙂✌
🙋♀️ Many! I have peace signs ☮ on everything!!!✌😁🌸🌼
My understanding is that they were teachers who decided to harmonize one day, liked how they sounded and became super stars! Great songs!!
Fifth Dimension was a fantastic singing group that almost everybody liked no matter what background you are from, including a lot parents back in the day. The old saying "They could sing the telephone book and make it a hit" is so true of the Fifth Dimension. You don't hear many 4-5 part harmonies today, live, no tricks like this. We did this in Junior High Choir some 51 years ago, dancing in aisles etc. We were allowed to express ourselves with OUR music at the Spring Concert, a rarity back then. It was so cool! We had the whole audience singing with us, I'll never forget that night as long as I live.
I GET THE CHILLS WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG ! 😍 I WAS BORN IN 1959 SO I WAS LITTLE FOR ALL THE 60'S SONGS AND I DO REMEMBER THEM ALL ! SUCH A TIME IN MY LIFE ! GLAD TO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE 60'S . 😳😳🌷🌻🌷😳😳 FLOWER POWER ! 💐🌺🌼🏵️
Marilyn McCoo singing One Less Bell To Answer is one of the best songs in the world, jmo.
one less egg to fry
So relevant for 2020. We're entering the Age of Aquarius as we speak and are truly living in amazing times as the old world crumbles and Earth ascends into the 5th dimension. If you're not familiar with any of this, do some research on UA-cam. There are tons of great channels out there explaining it all!! 🌏🎊
Definitely NOT! We are on the cusp of The Age Of Aquarius which extends over approximately 2,000 years. Humanity will have it's work to do on earth to achieve the Laws and Principles of The New Age, which are, very briefly: Right Human Relations, Goodwill, Group Endeavour, Unanimity, Spiritual Approach and Essential Divinity. Check out The Ageless Wisdom Teachings and The Lucis Trust for sound, sensible and TRUTHFUL information.
Such a joyful song sung by the most beautiful people! The 5th Dimension were singing for us for many years! So well loved!
I love watching when I see a song really affecting you in such a deep way. It is inspiring!!
That was fun. I haven't heard and seen this in a long long time. Such a great song 🌞 Thanks for the reaction. Your face and big smile 😁 said it all.
I love this song. Nowadays it reminds me of ‘40 Year Old Virgin’ 😂😂😂
You're so right Turd Ferguson. Doh! You made me say it!
Byron Anderson 😂😂😂👍
One of the best songs ever recorded! Still holds up today. The 5th Dimension are sublime. Will always love Marilyn McCoo :)
I still remember watching this group on our black n white tv when I was 3-4 years old. I so loved this song. I’m 55 years old now and still love this song!
