I am so grateful to have grown up seeing these bands on all the variety shows when I was a child. I especially love this band. They epitomize the 70's for me.
Both songs are just Light years ahead ! they got awesome harmonies and amazing Groove,thats just so much better than most of the stuff people listen to nowdays and thats just a fact
Songs from the musical "Hair" that took Broadway and the youth generation by storm in the sixties. The dawning of the Age of Aquarius was supposed to usher in a new age.
It is 1967 and social revolution is in full swing and the hippie era has arrived. The rock opera Hair is made and become an anthem for the young in these times. This song Aquarius is from that rock opera. It is a great song from the hippie era. I was only 11 and was totally captivated by this song the sound and the hope and promise of the new era happiness, flower power and love. Thank you for finding this song. Great memories. Great reaction.
Even though I hadn't even hit puberty, my 9-year-old self still recognized that Marilyn McCoo was drop-dead gorgeous. Long before Whitney Houston blended beauty with vocal gifts, there was Marilyn.
They're all so good, but MAN, I can't keep my eyes off of Ms Marilyn. Not only is she gorgeous, but she can sure sway and dance beautifully, WOW!!.... Great reaction my friend. Cheers.
After the 5th Dimension, 2 of their members (Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr.) went on to record songs individually and as a duo. They were very good and popular. The two were a married couple.
I grew up with the great music of The 5th Dimension in the 60's-70's. They had so many great hits such as "Go Where You Wanna Go", "Up, Up & Away", "Stoned Soul Picnic", "Sweet Blindness", "Wedding Bell Blues", "California Soul", "Workin' On A Groovy Thing", "One Less Bell To Answer", "Never My Love", "(Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep at All", "If I Could Reach You", "Love's Lines, Angles & Rhymes", "Living Together, Growing Together" etc.
Oh! Icouldn't remember the name of the song I so loved of the 5th dimension! It was Last Night, I didn't get to sleep at all. Thank you!!! It's been 45? years?
The music comes from the musical "Hair" (1967) and radiates the mood of that time so beautifully that I always have a few tears flowing out of sheer sentimentality. There is also a 1979 feature movie "Hair" based on the musical. Well worth a look.
I was 14 when this came out. It was my first album. Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr are still married. I saw the 5th dimension in 1975 while in the Army. Marilyn was beautiful. By the way we just entered the age of Aquarius . It will be an age of knowledge and secretes reveled.
Hi Ms. Sarah, Please review the Fifth Dimension's "One Less Bell To Answer", a beautiful song sung by the beautiful Ms. Marilyn McCoo.. (U know I am just an old softy) In the song she asked why did he leave me, I can answer that question; he is an idiot.. Someone below mention that Ms. Marilyn is married to my cousin Mr. Billy Davis, Jr., a member if the group.. ☺ ♠W.G.
When this song came out, I was mesmerized by it. At the age of 12 this is what I chose as my first album to buy with my allowance (and in those days it took a couple of weeks to save up that kind of money). Their harmonies were unique and different at the time. I remember when it was fashionable to wear those close. Thank you for the memories, I really enjoyed this reaction.
This is wonderful, it takes me back to my childhood. For a moment, I wanted to look for a hippie dress or at least my mom's necklace. With pride and nostalgia, I want to share the fact that the Belgrade premiere was on May 23, 1969, and the critics praised the play, which played the card more and toured the entire former Yugoslavia. The then Belgrade "Hair" was the first performance (in a foreign language) after the premiere on Broadway and the staging at the West End in London. The director of the play "Hair" in Belgrade was Mira Trailović, founder of Belgrade International Theatre Festival BITEF.. It seems that this song is very current again 😞 ..
I wore my grandmother's costume jewelry along with Longhair and sideburns and flower patterned shirt ala JIMI HENDRIX. THe California hippie look Even bought some knee hiigh suede moccasins and bandana on my neck. Lol
Songs from a time that felt so much happier, the harmony reflected how life felt, of course I was a toddler, but I would bust out singing and dancing to these songs and Up Up And Away, all of their songs are so good, but I was a toddler so going up in a beautiful balloon sounded awesome ❤️. Thank you Sarah for sharing this with us, I can tell from the other comments that it touches others in the same way. Have a wonderful day Sarah ❤️
@@60sGirl123 right, a time of love, at least to my child mind. As I got older I heard of events that contradict that but I was so young and life was all unicorns and rainbows ❤️😢
When i was a young lad me and some of my friends went to see Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical .This song was sang in the show.approximately 1969 ithink lol.
Just try to listen to these songs without a smile on your face! This is pure joy, something so sadly missing too often today. I am pretty sure that if you look on your great list of songs to get to you will see once upon a time I recommended checking out "One Less Bell To Answer" by them, and now I would like to add "Never My Love" to that list! Thank you, Sarah, for doing your part to keep great music alive for the next generations!
Aquarius is the opening number of Hair, Let The Sun Shine In is the closing number. The title track from Hair is performed by The Cowsills who served as the real life basis of the 70s show called The Partridge Family about a bunch of siblings who sing with their mother.
Yes indeed THAT Base! That's the late greats Joe Osborn on Bass and Hal Blaine on Drums. They were a group of studio musicians in LA starting from the late 50's all the way through to the late 70s that are now known as "The Wrecking Crew". They included greats such as Earl Palmer (Drums), Tommy Tedesco (Guitar), Al Casey (Guitar), Carol Kaye, (Bass) and Glenn Campbell (Guitar) who later went on to have his own hits. They were responsible for thousands of recordings from Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra to the 5th Dimension and The Monkees and The Beach Boys, The Carpenters to Sonny and Cher and John Lennon to name a few. They played on all the Phil Spector produced hits. They also did all the old TV series intro tunes and music score from Mission impossible to MASH and Hawaii 5-O to name a few. If you ever heard a hit from the 60s and 70s the chances are that the music recordings were by the Wrecking Crew. Here's the full documentary about them. ua-cam.com/video/6E3nr--6IrQ/v-deo.html It's a great watch.
Saw them live in Go-Go bar in late sixties and then ran into them outside on sidewalk while leaving, mostly surprised by friendliness to stop and talk to a couple of drunk saliors.
Nice job, Sarah! Once again you have put the ‘joy’ in ‘enjoy. I think it would be eye-opening and great fun if we had the ability to travel back to 1968 for a weekend to take in “Hair,” the original musical and cast. Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to these classic songs!
The meaning of this song is self-evident. The Age of Aquarius is an age that will eventually usher in worldwide peace on Earth. We have moved out of the Age of Pisces, into the Age of Aquarius. However, the effects of this 'age' will not be felt yet, because the world is still caught in a cycle of darkness, wars and death. When human beings finally tire of war, and look for other more peaceful ways to settle their disuputes, that is when we will allow the sunshine in. And when the Age of Aquarius finally comes to the fore. Peace on Earth.
If you really wanna laugh your heart out I truly believe this is the right one for you. Gabriel Iglesias doing the Magic Mike story 🤣 ua-cam.com/video/6JrNLnjFv0s/v-deo.html
This music video makes me so sad. This was the start of the liberal hippie movement that started in California. All the great band that burst out of San Francisco. So much promise. How did it go so wrong. The liberas of today are offended by words and triggered by everything. And San Francisco is dying choking on the homeless and every street flooded with needles and feces. It had such promise.
If you love Jesus, then you know that this is about the “Fifth” dimension, Jesus!! This song was loved by the whole world. Let the sun (Son Jesus!!) shine in, open up your heart! The last scene is the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus’ wonderful teachings for peace and love. JMHO. I cry every time I hear this beautiful song. The astrology is nonsense, but who knows for sure? Aquarius could refer to Christ’s Living Waters. Water is featured at the end. The first part is a promise of peace and harmony, love, understanding and the mind’s true liberation!! The second part calls you to come and join Christ. 🕊🕊🕊 Open up your heart!! Let the Son shine in!! You can see why the God blessed these beautiful people with this wonderful song. 🕊🕊🕊
I am so grateful to have grown up seeing these bands on all the variety shows when I was a child. I especially love this band. They epitomize the 70's for me.
Born in 65. Thanks for giving old people music a listen. Love this song.
Both songs are just Light years ahead ! they got awesome harmonies and amazing Groove,thats just so much better than most of the stuff people listen to nowdays and thats just a fact
Bass grooving through all the song.
I don't have words for this masterpiece
Jimmy Ostiguy, Isn't it amazing?! It gives me chills!
Songs from the musical "Hair" that took Broadway and the youth generation by storm in the sixties. The dawning of the Age of Aquarius was supposed to usher in a new age.
The music from Hair was good, the Broadway show was a bore fest. Just my opinion.
At least we have great music
The sound track of my childhood. Definitely a gospel influence. Love it.
Your reactions put sunshine in my heart. Thanks.
It is 1967 and social revolution is in full swing and the hippie era has arrived. The rock opera Hair is made and become an anthem for the young in these times.

@@SarahDengler You will greatly enjoy the movie!
All vocal legends, Marilyn McCoo is a true gift from God, OK they all are, One Less Bell To Answer will really show her off.
I was 14 when this came out. It was my first album. Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr are still married. I saw the 5th dimension in 1975 while in the Army. Marilyn was beautiful. By the way we just entered the age of Aquarius . It will be an age of knowledge and secretes reveled.
was just going to type that they were still married- only found that out recently. That's fantastic!
*Magnificent song encouraging love, benevolence, magnanimity* !
Sarah, you are a jewel of positivity and light and it is an honor to watch your videos.
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏

Good on you! You sang along. Just like I did 55 years ago when it came out. Great song. You totally get it.

I was dancing, with my hands and eyes closed. When I open my eyes, I see that you were dancing the same way as me!!! connection!!!

Thank you Janet for sharing this beauty with me and your story too 🙂 have a great day too ❤️
We thought we had kicked hatred to the curb forever! What happened 😢
@@60sGirl123 right, a time of love, at least to my child mind. As I got older I heard of events that contradict that but I was so young and life was all unicorns and rainbows ❤️😢
Yeah Sarah you Will love the musical film "HAIR" from 1979 (: (: (:
Thank you! Will check it out!
"Let the sunshine in"....Let God come into your heart!!! The most inspirational song of all time...#1 hit song from the play "Hair"....
So glad you found this GREAT GREAT American group!! One of my all-time favorites. My youth is in this song! Awesome Sarah D. !!!!!!!!!!!!
When i was a young lad me and some of my friends went to see Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical .This song was sang in the show.approximately 1969 ithink lol.

Omy I have heard this since I was a teenager..
Sarah, great reaction. This is a two song medley from the musical "Hair". I was lucky enough to see the 5th Dimension live. Thanks for this one. ☮

Watching you react brings tears of joy to me! You are a young lady with an old soul, bless you!😇🙏
5th Dimension will always get a Like!! Sarah, you should explore their catalog more, either on or off channel. You won't be disappointed!
Had the album
I had the 8 track
I forgot how great their harmonies are!
Now I have to watch the movie Hair! 😄
Awesome Harmonies
the rock opera/musical "Hair"
Thank you. I needed a good cry.
I hope a happy cry
@@SarahDengler It was :-)
Pretty sure this is from the musical Hair. Listen to "Good morning Starshine", even a better song.
For a treat check out their song…”One Less Bell to Answer”. You won’t be disappointed! Cheers
Ms. Dengler has one of the kindest, sweetest, warmest vibes of all the reactors I've seen on YT. Bless you!
The bass line throughout the song...!!!!!!!!!!

This is not just a random song to give us good vibes and hope, it's THE song...❤️👍
Beautiful group and Beautiful reaction
I LOOOOVE THIS SOOOONG. MAKES ME SHINE!
Saw them live in Go-Go bar in late sixties and then ran into them outside on sidewalk while leaving, mostly surprised by friendliness to stop and talk to a couple of drunk saliors.
Great group!! Great song!! Great reaction!!😊
Nice job, Sarah! Once again you have put the ‘joy’ in ‘enjoy. I think it would be eye-opening and great fun if we had the ability to travel back to 1968 for a weekend to take in “Hair,” the original musical and cast. Thank you for your enthusiastic reaction to these classic songs!
Loved HAIR the 5th DIMENSION and Marilyn McCoo. Very successful group
haven't heard this song in ages. had to grab the head phones and really enjoy it
I love to hear simple beautiful music.
back in time when to make music you had to be able to play and sing
Beautiful reaction .
dig that groovy bass line, ya'll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unprecedented vocal harmonies. Beautiful lyrics. A perfect song. What happened to music like this?
What a beautiful smile you have...
Real Music !

The song that allows you to let your hair down halfway through.
Yes, this song is from another age. Thevagev of Aquariuss
We are now living in the age of Aquarius. ❤🎉
Another great group. Billy Davis and Marilyn McCoo are married. She was a fine singer on other hits as well❤

I was 2 or 3. 1969. Hippie years

Please watch the movie Hair❤
